Relative Evil

By Justin Roberts

BECOMING THE GATEWAY is a brutal, blood-soaked descent into madness, where trauma opens more than emotional wounds, it tears a hole in reality itself. Drenched in violence and gore, this story drips with terror as something vast, ancient, and utterly inhuman begins to seep through the cracks. Limbs break, flesh tears, and minds unravel as the characters are dragged into a nightmare that goes far beyond death, into a realm where nothing makes sense, and sanity is just another thing to be devoured. BECOMING THE GATEWAY is relentless, merciless, and crawling with cosmic dread, a horror tale that doesn't just want to scare you... it wants to unmake you.

A RELATIVE EVIL is a brutally raw, darkly comic plunge into the meth-fueled underbelly of the Pacific Northwest-a world where addiction, depravity, and occult forces blend into a hallucinatory nightmare.
Jonathan Castdon isn't just a dealer or a burnout-he's a self-aware misanthrope skating the edge of reality, selling dope to tweakers and dodging emotional train wrecks disguised as friends. But one bizarre drug run to Portland sets off a chain of grotesque events: a freakshow strip club run by cryptic lunatics, a dealer with Disney-themed bondage fetishes, and a reality that begins unraveling into something far more cosmic, sinister, and predestined. What begins as a sketchy drug deal quickly mutates into an apocalyptic revelation about Jonathan's identity-and the forces that have been watching, and waiting, for him to awaken.
With equal parts filthy realism and creeping cosmic dread, A Relative Evil sits in the lineage of Chuck Palahniuk's savage satire and Clive Barker's monstrous mythologies. It's a violent, transgressive, black-humored journey through America's shadow culture, soaked in blood, bile, and existential rot.
