Nganga

A short story.

Jacksonville Detective Fletch Boatwright’s life sucks. It’s not easy being a white cop in an increasingly colorful world. Fletch has a chip on his shoulder as big as the space shuttle, pops pills like tic tacs and is so unpopular that his own wife and kids hate him. When he shoots and kills an unarmed Afro-Cuban boy and gets transferred down to Miami, his life goes from bad to worse.

Someone’s slaughtering the priests of Santeria, and Boatwright’s hunt for the killer leads him into Miami’s underworld of, in his words, ‘hoodoo and voodoo from every f*cking banana republic in the world.” Before he knows it he is being hunted by the spirit of dead murderer hell-bent on a particularly vicious brand of sadistic and psychosexual revenge.

Damien D’Enfer’s first installation in his series of adult, supernatural short stories, Nganga is part noir crime story, part erotic horror.

“If Neil Gaiman and Raymond Chandler married each other and had a child, his name would be Damien D’Enfer. Nganga engulfs the reader in a tidal wave of blood, sex and magic while maintaining the tension of a page-turning crime story. Nganga is an excellent read, fast, riveting and fearless.” – Doris Wallace, author of "And Doris Wallace Thanks You for Asking"
