Absolute Horror - Paperback

by Rob E. Nichols (Author)

Absolute Horror is about a man named Kyle Thimall who feels like he has lost a grip on anything remotely happy, even years after a tragic event. One thing he has zero of is faith, in a higher being or himself. He turns to driving a cab as a means to simply exist. One of Kyle's fare's turns out to be a man claiming to be the devil and looking to make a deal. This, however, is somewhat removed from your normal deal with the devil kind of fair. Instead, the devil claims that his deal with God about Job was a crapshoot and he is looking for a second round. The deal: using a watch with seven notches, one for each of the sins, Kyle must save seven people, each from one of the sins, within seven days. Neither God or Satan can interfere. If Kyle succeeds, all is right with the world. If he loses, not only does he belong to the devil...the world does. Kyle, being forced to accept both the fact that God and Satan exist and with nothing else to lose, accepts the deal. Kyle feels more alone than ever, but that's only because he doesn't realize that something besides his weakened will and lack of confidence are trying to stop him from succeeding...something the Devil forgot to mention...something absolutely horrifying...
