The Tormentor
After he is struck by a car bomb in Iraq, Marine reservist John Kern starts to hallucinate. He sees spirits, forgotten gods, and the man he beat to death back when he boxed professionally. While he recovers in Germany, Kern gets caught up in a plot by a cult of ghouls to resurrect a medieval Prussian torturer. With the help of his newly found second sight and those around him — a fawning nurse, a concerned priest, a drunken fellow soldier, and a transsexual alchemist — John tries to thwart the fiendish plan and its creator, the necrophiliac leader of the cult, Kursk Mosnar. Does Battlin’ John Kern possess the strength to face what steps out from the gates of Hell?
A story of horror, twisted lives, sacrifice, and heroism, TORMENTOR reaches deep into the soul and forces one to face their fears and overcome them.
