We must not put Christ to the test, as some of them did, and were destroyed by serpents. - 1 Corinthians 10:9
When a Dallas-area priest, Father Billy Acosta, believes he's been shown a miracle by God, instead of being uplifted, ensuing weeks of doubt make him demand to see a second one. Driven crazy by what he feels is God's silence, he heads to his church's East Texas summer camp to massacre 99 kids - one at a time - to bring about Divine Intervention. Among the campers are four 14 year-olds - Phil, Mark, Faith and Maia - who are forced to come of age in the Texas woods, cut off from civilization, as their friends begin dying in horrific fashion, convinced as they are that the Devil has come to Earth and is slaughtering the faithful...
Praise for FOUR NAILS IN THE COFFIN:
"This is muscular, original fiction that marks the debut of an exciting new voice in the speculative/dark fantasy genre." - Michael Rowe, editor of the QUEER FEAR anthology series and co-author of TRIPTYCH OF TERROR
"This is an outstanding collection of interesting, original horror fantasy fiction...each story bursts with clear, potent visuals and is powered by a relentless narrative drive, yet there's a definite political/social commentary running through the stories. Wheaton is out to tell a ripping good yarn and he delivers in spades." - Craig Perry, producer, FINAL DESTINATION I-V
"Wheaton's writing is haunting. Days, weeks, even months later, you will find your mind returning to his worlds. Stephen King is no longer my only addiction." - Todd Farmer, screenwriter, MY BLOODY VALENTINE IN 3D, forthcoming DRIVE ANGRY
