The Baptismal Bizarre

Five shots ring out in a crowd, the opening gambit in a game between otherworldly forces bent on destroying each other. Sylvester Ketch is a man of squalid destiny, an inescapable appointment with his own rage, until he's swept up, like the victims of the shooting, by ancient gods with no use for prayers. In order to survive, he must become something more than he is, something not entirely human. A vendetta from beyond the stars will be decided here, in the seaside town of Prosperity, on Earth, a world already by turns absurd, salacious and grueling.
