The Black Altar Beneath Seattle: An Occult Horror Novel

By Thom Robbins

Every success has a cost. Seattle just keeps better records.
When hedge fund manager Daniel Mercer is forced from the company he built, his career, reputation, and future collapse in a single afternoon. Then a stranger offers him one last chance.
Beneath Seattle lies an ancient chamber where influence can be bought, failure can be erased, and consequences can always be passed to someone else.
All Daniel has to do is say yes.
Soon, the impossible becomes routine.
His career recovers. Every problem seems to solve itself.
Until Daniel discovers the one thing he was never meant to see.
Nothing is free.
Every victory is paid for by someone else.
When Daniel realizes the system doesn't just reward ambition but feeds on it, escaping may no longer be enough. To stop it, he'll have to choose between the life he spent years trying to build and the people he finally understands he's been sacrificing all along.
The Black Altar Beneath Seattle is a psychological occult horror novel about power, accountability, and the terrifying cost of believing someone else will always pay the bill.
Perfect for readers of The Ninth Gate, The Devil's Advocate, and intelligent psychological horror where ambition is the monster.
