Diablero

by Toby Tate
Diablero by Toby Tate
Unrated

Literally carving out a name for himself in two short years as Blackbeard the Pirate, Edward Teach met his end at the hands of a British Navy Captain off the shores of Ocracoke Island, North Carolina. After removing Teach's head, the captain ordered the body tossed into the water, then watched in horror as it swam three times around the ship before sinking into the cold, dark Atlantic. Blackbeard had often boasted about being in league with the devil - but it was more than a boast. Three hundred years later, the demon known as DIABLERO has been reawakened, and now there will be Hell to pay.

Reviews:

"Blackbeard is fertile ground for pure evil, and Toby Tate's DIABLERO does the subject justice. A well-crafted read." - Steve Alten, NY Times best-selling author of MEG and GRIM REAPER: End of Days

"WOW! Talk about a killer book! From Virginia and North Carolina, to the Caribbean and back, this book is spellbinding." - from Goodreads.com

"Diablero is the perfect matchup of Lovecraft's Great Old Ones and Pirates. Ancient evil, modern intrigue, and a fast pace will have readers hanging on the edges of their seats." - David Niall Wilson, author of DEEP BLUE, THIS IS MY BLOOD and VINTAGE SOUL

"Tate's skillful treatment of Blackbeard as both an apparition of horror and an empathetic victim is a wonderful twist on the character. Think you know pirates? Think again, and don't miss this one." - Tracy Rud, author of SEA BEGGAR
