Our Lady Chaos
Beautiful on the outside, deadly evil on the inside. Throughout Eddie's childhood, two things remained constant: cold, hateful violence and the vicious smiles of the Scary Lady who haunted him. The love of his adoptive parents shielded him from her horrible influence--at least for a time. Years later, the Scary Lady returns, prompting Eddie and his wife Amanda to join the group of demon hunters from Oneka Falls attempting to banish evil forever. But they face a greater threat than they imagined possible--an ancient demigoddess with astounding power. Can the group survive the tempting traps laid for them by Our Lady Chao? ritical Acclaim for Our Lady Chaos:? “In this story, nothing is what it seems. A hushed silence hides a hideous and demonic presence. Readers quickly learn that humans can be the worst monsters. The conflict is skillfully developed and it is interesting to witness the infighting amongst demons as they yearn for more power and control. The crew of demon fighters is composed of vulnerable characters who are courageous. At times they improvise as they move along, discovering facts about their enemy. The introduction of the myth in the narrative takes the story to new depths and enriches the plot. Erik Henry Vick is a great storyteller and the realism he infuses into the writing augments the horror, keeping the blood running cold through the reader’s veins while making them anticipate what comes next. Our Lady Chaos: A Horror Collection is written in great prose and it features compelling characters who grab the reader’s interest right off the bat. A delightful read, indeed.”-Christian Sia, Readers' Favorite Reviews? "I adore the visceral and highly imaginative horror works of author Erik Henry Vick, who delivers on multiple levels to please the horror reader. His prose is slick with bloody imagery and sudden twists that keep readers on edge throughout the story, yet the overall arc of the build-up to attempting to defeat the ultimate demons is intelligently played, slow-burning and growing in power over time."--K.C. Finn, Readers' Favorite Reviews? “This scary and entertaining collection hasn’t been easy on my heart; I felt like it would give out on almost every page. The element of horror seeps deep into the stories and every character and every segment of the plots make it even more prominent. There is a plethora of characters and every character has a purpose, so all of them are incredibly detailed and developed. Out of all these characters, the four that stood out to me the most are Benny, Toby, Dennis, and Brigitta. They all were different yet they added a lot of depth to the story and their backstories were really well woven into the main plot. You have to read Our Lady Chaos: A Horror Collection by Erik Henry Vick to experience the thrill!”--Rabia Tanveer, Readers' Favorite ReviewsWhat readers are saying:? "Every time I finish an Erik Henry Vick series, I feel like I just lost a dear friend. It's devastating. They're that good."? "I absolutely have loved each and every one of these novels. I hate seeing them ending."? "A heart-pounding and thrilling conclusion to a captivating (and often unsettling) series."? "Heroes vs demons, what could be better?"? "I don’t usually write reviews, but after finishing Our Lady Chaos, I feel compelled to encourage other horror/fantasy fiction fans to investigate the author."? "Just finished reading the third book in series and have to say it's the best trilogy I have read in many years--would recommend to everyone."? "This closer for the Bloodletter trilogy was a great wrap-up to the series. The whole thing is highly recommended."This series has scared over thirty-five thousand readers. Now it's your turn.
