Apocrypha Sequence: Master Collection
(2016)(A book in the Apocrypha Sequence series)
An omnibus of novels by Shane Jiraiya Cummings
The four volumes of the Apocrypha Sequence in one electronic master collection! This 4-in-1 collection includes the exclusive Insanity story "Elephant in the Room"!
The Apocrypha Sequence is a series of dark fantasy collections with interwoven themes and interconnected stories from Shane Jiraiya Cummings, Australia's master of the macabre. The four volumes are:
Deviance: Darkness within the human heart. Set foot inside the morgue at Stratton Memorial Hospital, a place where the scales of life and death have tipped in the wrong direction, and wander the city beyond, where fantasies of sex, drugs, and violence can become frighteningly real. Redemption may be found under a scalpel, in an alley, or sometimes, by embracing the darkest corner of the soul.
Divinity: The hubris and fallibility of the gods. Mysterious powers pull humanity's puppet strings, and although these deities may seem wise and benevolent, glimpse through the illusion at their true natures. Imagine the story of Moses and the exodus of the Jews from the perspective of an Egyptian commander who has lost everything to the ten deadly plagues. Can solace be obtained from a religious manifestation that appears only to mock? And in a world of shifting moral values, who is to say the Antichrist isn't just a decent guy dealing with his own issues?
Insanity: The human mind pushed to breaking point. What if every man you'd ever met was named Ian? What if the stress of an unrelenting routine intruded while you were stopped at an intersection? Insanity is a darkness that can envelop you before you're even aware of it. Sometimes, it begins with an itch, sometimes, a mysterious invitation. Regardless of the catalyst, it never ends well.
Inferno: The invasion of Australia by legendary monstrosities and its apocalyptic aftermath. With the Kraken's rise off the shores of Western Australia, an age of monsters is ushered in. When wits and heroics fail, a secret cabal of guardians will take drastic, devastating measures to protect everything they know and love. In the aftermath, when everything has turned to ash, hope will find a way.
The Apocrypha Sequence was a finalist for the Australian Shadows Award!
