Product Description

After he is struck by a car bomb in Iraq, Marine reservist John Kern starts to hallucinate. He sees spirits, forgotten gods, and the man he beat to death back when he boxed professionally. While he recovers in Germany, Kern gets caught up in a plot by a cult of ghouls to resurrect a medieval Prussian torturer. With the help of his newly found second sight and those around him—a fawning nurse, a concerned priest, a drunken fellow soldier, and a transsexual alchemist—John tries to thwart the fiendish plan and its creator, the necrophiliac leader of the cult, Kursk Mosnar. Does Battlin’ John Kern possess the strength to face what steps out from the gates of Hell? A story of horror, twisted lives, sacrifice, and heroism, TORMENTOR reaches deep into the soul and forces one to face their fears and overcome them.

Customer Reviews

Indomitable
Steven Shrewsbury's Tormentor is a bold, in your face thrill ride that recalls the fiction of Robert E. Howard, Edgar Rice Burroughs, and other such luminary literary juggernauts who understood how to deliver action and suspense with a heavy hand, leaving the reader breathless and hungry for more.

Not for the faint of heart nor for those who are the sensitive types, this supernatural thriller is guttural and real. Tormentor is full of larger than life characters that you'll find yourself invested in despite their more than human flaws...

Make no mistake, Tormentor is an audacious and adventurous novel that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

My one complaint is that it was only 276 pages. I was having so much fun, I just didn't want it to end...
