Victor Galloway had everything. Wife, son, career as a prominent surgeon. Everything. One day, while working in his garden he has a heart attack. Struggling to the porch he phones for help. When the ambulance turns to take him to Holy Evangelical Lady of the Lake up he thinks that everything is going to be OK. That is until he hears one of the doctors say "you would have had a fifty-fifty chance... if we hadn't answered the call". When Victor finally wakes up he is dead.

You would think that at this point things couldn't get any worse for him – WRONG! Death is the least of his worries.

Dark Resurrection is an unusual horror tale with a unique storyline. The characters are convincing and well detailed. Sometimes, in horror tales, I find the non-horrific characters are a little 2-dimensional. This is not the case with John Karr's story. Although this is a fairly long book I can honestly say that at no point did I feel that the story lost momentum. Quite the opposite.

John Karr is a skilled author and I look forward to reading more of his work in the future.

Synopsis
  Victor Galloway is a prominent surgeon and family man living in northern Virginia. When he suffers a heart attack while his family is away from home, he claws his way to the phone and somehow dials 911. The paramedics arrive, smile down at him, and quickly give him a lethal injection.
  Victor's life is ending, but his nightmare is just getting warmed up. Close to death and strapped to a gurney, he is rushed to Holy Evangelical Lady of the Lake where Randolph Tobias, CEO of H.E.L.L., greets him in the emergency room. "I need your skills as a surgeon to harvest the living and feed my people, Victor. Join us and you may remain with your family. Join us and you will never die again."
  Sensing the evil exuding from the doctors and nurses around him, Victor rejects Tobias'  offer. But Tobias is too powerful to be denied and Victor is pressed into the ranks of the undead. Like them, Victor craves human flesh--but at the same time he is different. Risking the lives of his wife and son and the wrath of the beast residing in the tunnel below, Victor attempts to stop Tobias from preying upon the living...
