A Darkening Path

Are you sure you want your prayers answered? Frank Smith was. At 39, he had had enough. A big house in the 'burbs. A high-paying job he hated. Shallow friendships. A spendthrift wife. A loser son. He took his few pleasures where he found them: workouts, parties at the yacht club, liaisons with his intoxicating, cold-hearted mistress. But in his heart of hearts, Frank wanted out. Little did he know that, in the shadows of his comfortably unfulfilling days, dark forces lurked, plotting to bend him to their purposes. And now, years later, he finds himself trapped in a mystical realm, led by a spectral guide and forced to confront truths he'd rather forget . . . or never know. Sometimes answered prayers come at a high price.
