There aren't many horror fans that do not have a fascination with witches and the Bible. Most link their doubts and lack of faith with the Bible and even with the possibility of witches living in our own neighborhood. WITCHBLOOD is a very dark, surreal, believable tale of witches and has just been offered to you from the inspired author, Timothy Whitfield. He delves into places that the simple mind never treads, where the cursed dread. He enters deeper than a blackened heart, farther than the ravenous pits of Hell; the bloodline of its dark ancestry has been awakened.

This grisly author gives his brave readers a taste of fear tinged gore and disgust in Biblical proportions.

As WITCHBLOOD opens you are delivered a tangy flavor of evil with no apologies. Have a strong stomach and watch the birth begin. Timothy Whitfield does not hold back but opens with a prologue of this brutal tale; introducing his readers and fans to a girl named Annebella. She's pregnant with something sinister growing inside her and the babes father "The Man In Black" performs his fatherly duty and delivers his offspring most bloodily. He opens her belly causing a crimson deluge heaving forth with the demonic fetus. You are now ripened for the gore-story so sit back and listen quietly as I tell you about the Fall From Evil taking place in Pennsylvania, 45 years later with a new lineage.

The Witchblood descended from the Nephilium, (the fallen angels) and the Saurian (serpentine) lineage believe that by mixing their blood with the Witches --together they can create the Antichrist. This dark tale weaves an intriguing diabolical concept and wicked manifestation of a spiritual essence of the meaning of what it would take to create the Antichrist. The ingenuity of the author and his profound knowledge --offers an air of reasonability to the ultimate doom for its own race and overflowing with many possibilities.

Timothy also creates such care of his characters you feel for them. You understand Nicolas and his pessimistic views and shortcomings, and truly feel for Michele and Rachel.

The question is: Do you believe the rumors of a secret society of witches?

Timothy Whitfield appears to be a voracious author with an insatiable craving for Biblical facts or blasphemy with a plausible creation so wicked, so dark, and yet so possible that you will be on the edge of your seat while you are plunged into a world where darkness dwells. If you love horror, feed off the blood of witches, and enjoy someone that knows his own craft --I highly recommend you conjure up the bravery needed to read this book.

 
 

Synopsis
The Beauty of Decay...

Hell with the lid taken off. That was how Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania was perceived during the latter part of the nineteenth century when the entire city seethed as a cauldron of molten steel, blackening the midday sky with endless clouds of ash and soot. In 1901, beneath a think haze of manganese dust, an evil and malicious graveworm awoke among the immigrant slums and grossly polluted rivers. And there the vile wickedness thrived and grew.

Today, thirteen-year-old Angela Danziger is a living testament to the poisonous industrialization. A brokenhearted albino angel with clipped wings and a tragic past, she is called the Blessed Moonchild by witches and mystics alike. She is a present-day Joan of Arc, and quite possibly humankind's last chance at redemption. But can she survive the merciless onslaught of the festering worms and preserve her angelic lineage--and her own sanity--or will she fall prey to their evil and destructive passions?

"Timothy Whitfield is a gifted author with an innate sense for what most disturbs the human psyche."
--Karen Koehler, author of the Slayer series.
