The Inevitability of Evil

By Chris Hooley & Ross Young &
The Inevitability of Evil by Chris Hooley & Ross Young &  digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

From three deranged, daredevil authors comes a tragedy braided with threads of time. Join us as we journey through past, present, and future to discover the sanity in madness and the cruelty in kindness.

*  *  *  *  *  *  *

In the past, Detective Ward investigates a case regarding a missing infant. The mother is trapped in an endless cycle of pain while the father dives into a monstrous darkness. Danger and desperation plague them both.

In the present, a babe becomes a boy becomes a beast. Cain is a weapon forged by delusions and mistakes. He has been here before, but nobody knows or understands why.

In the future, pacifist aliens known as the Cephs fight their imminent genocide. Despite their advanced technology and magnanimous philosophy, they're doomed to fail and suffer time and again.

*  *  *  *  *  *  *

Part sci-fi, part horror, and part existential thriller, THE INEVITABILITY OF EVIL is a chilling experience for nightmare lovers, a novella that's TRUE DETECTIVE meets RAMBO meets ALIENS. Come along if you dare, but you've been here before, too, and once you enter this book, we can't rescue you.

The Inevitability of Evil Reviews

2.5
“DNF”
Thumbs Up“This was a reeaaally good cosmic horror! It's a mix between Lovecraft and a sitcom! It's a story told about our boy Cain, his parents and the ceph, all from different points of views. It was such a good fast read! Can't really go into any detail without spoiling. But don't forget, no matter what, kindness is always the answer.”
