Branded with a mysterious tattoo bestowed with deadly supernatural force, Powers must seek ablution before he can confront billionaire drug lord Ernesto “Tarantula� Cortobes and bring down his secret empire that threatens to destroy truth, justice and the American way. “Be prepared to suspend disbelief and take a wild romp through the underworld.� � E. A. W. Smith, author of BENEDICT’S WARS “A first-rate supernatural thriller.� � Richard Guimond, author of KOBO “An amazing amalgam of Carlos Castenada, Dean Koontz and John D. MacDonald .� � Milos Fortunato, author of BIG MONEY "Tarantula is an outstanding piece of fiction. You really have something here. It can be read on so many levels—a supernatural detective story, one man’s internal battle of good against evil, religious allegory, etc. I seem to find myself wavering on different levels of enjoyment and anticipation. I thought the symbolic baptism at Lake Trevis was powerful. I also see an influence of Arthurian legend—Merlin vs. Morgan Le Fe in the characters of Santero vs. Bruja. Then, there’s the Mary vs. Eve dichotomy in the foil characters of Mary Alice & the Bruja, forever connected through sexual intimacy with Powers. Tarantula is every bit as powerful as anything written by C. S. Lewis, Tolkien and J. K. Rawlings." - Janet C., Versailles, KY
