The Crow's Psalm

By Dillon Demaine

- A chilling cosmic, body horror in the style of Stephen King -

Father Thomas Sterling pours cheap whiskey into the consecrated chalice. It is the only way to stop the shaking.

But when he opens the church doors, he discovers that God has left Oar's Rest.

A suffocating, copper-tasting fog known as the White Blindness has erased the horizon. The ocean churns as purple-black sludge. The road out of town has vanished into nothingness.

Trapped in a decaying reality with a terrified congregation, Thomas must hide his crumbling sanity and lead a mass for the damned. But the doors are sealed, the rot is spreading, and the darkness outside is waiting.

Is this the price of his sin, or the end of the world?

"This is a formidable entry into the cosmic horror genre, blending the theological dread of 'Midnight Mass' with the claustrophobic siege mechanics of 'The Mist.' The manuscript demonstrates a mastery of atmospheric tension and body horror. The concept of the 'Black Psalms'-using blasphemy and destruction as a metaphysical weapon against a void that consumes meaning-is a brilliant, hook-heavy mechanic that sets this apart from standard Lovecraftian fare. The narrative arc of Father Thomas from a self-pitying alcoholic to a terrifying, post-human 'Jailer' is executed with profound emotional and visceral impact. This is highly acquirable with a strong editorial pass to tighten the middle act and vary the descriptive language." - Review
