It holds much more than power over him as it also opens a vault filled with treasures beyond his imagination. Gold that Derek knows will set him free from his meaningless existence. But when he goes to the house of the owner of the vault, he meets an ancient god with a few tricks up his sleeve. Now Derek must get through the labyrinth of doorways to find his way out while taking the treasure he has come for. Will he be able to survive Eshu's doorways unscathed while receiving the treasure he desperately wants? Goosebumps meets the Twilight Zone in the foreground of African Diaspora Folktales, American Orishas is a series full of traditional folktales and spooky experiences.
