Bound by Misery. Marked by Sin. Set Free by Death. PENANCE by Rick R. Reed

Sept. 27, 2011 - PRLog -- San Francisco, Calif.; Barely into their teens, without homes, they dwell in neon shadows, the violent eddies of urban America. They trade their innocence for money, abuse their hopes, and then a monster comes…

A monster without fangs or claws, but more deadly. Because of them, he has lost everything: his wife, his family. And he vows to clean the streets of Chicago…for good.

One of the street kids and a man of the cloth form a desperate pact. Together, they will find the madman whose basement has become a chamber of horrors…

In their October 2006 issue, Unzipped magazine said, “You could call him the Stephen King of gay horror.” And Dark Scribe magazine said, “Reed is an established brand—perhaps the most reliable contemporary author for thrillers that cross over between the gay fiction market and speculative fiction.”

To date, Reed has fifteen books in print, and his short fiction has appeared in more than 20 anthologies. Rick joined Untreed Reads in 2010 with his best-selling short story Crime Scene and recently re-released his classic horror work Obsessed through Untreed Reads as well. His novel, Orientation, won the EPPIE Award for best LGBT novel of 2008.

He lives in Seattle, WA. Visit him on the web at http://www.rickrreed.com.
