Mad Shadows: The Weird Tales of Dorgo the Dowser

Fantasy

iUniverse, Inc.

Valdar is a city of swordslingers and necromancers, witch cults and halfhuman races. It's a city in a world of darkness, black magic and creatures of the night . . . a city where demonic entities serve the needs of any witch or magicman who can open a doorway into their domain. This is my city. This is my world. With a special dowsing rod, I can detect the ectoplasmic residue of any supernatural presence or demonic entity and sense the vestiges of odylic power and vile sorcery used in the commission of crimes. I hunt anyone and anything that poses a threat to the people of my city. My name's Dorgo. Folks call me the Dowser. From infernal depths where lost souls mutate into hell-spawned devils, from the other side of the veil that separates the earthly from the unearthly, from an ancient land whose borders cross into other dimensions, Mad Shadows The Weird Tales of Dorgo the Dowser, will transport you to a world where sentient shadows, vengeful vampires, malevolent puppets, and raging werewolves haunt the night . . . a world where life is cheap and souls are always up for sale.

What Happens in Valdar Stays in ValdarFrom infernal depths where lost souls are resurrected as hell-spawned devils; where creatures from the other side of the veil separating the earthly from the unearthly are conjured into existence; where beings from an ancient land whose borders cross into other dimensions slip through to our world ... the adventures of Dorgo the Dowser pit him against sentient shadows, duplicitous women, unscrupulous men, a criminal underworld of humans and semi-humans, malevolent puppets, strange beasts that time forgot, and beings from another world--not to mention zombies, killer fauns, vengeful vampires, raging werewolves, and the most unique pair of jewels you've ever heard of.Armed with a unique dowsing rod that can detect the ectoplasmic residue of any supernatural presence or demonic entity, and sense the vestiges of magical power used in the commission of crimes, Dorgo walks in the shadows of a world where life is cheap and souls are always up for sale.Magic, monsters, mystery, murder and mayhem: all Hell can break loose in Valdar in just one night. And it usually does.Winner of the 2017 Golden Book Award for Best Fantasy."Bonadonna balances the human and the grimness in such a way that one never becomes suffocated. Instead, the humor and wit make the characters seem more real, as some of the characters, including Dorgo, use the humor to deal with the darkness they confront." --Keith West, Amazing Stories Magazine

The Weird Tales of Dorgo the Dowser [Book One]: Mad Shadows

Pulp Hero Press

Dorgo's Greatest Challenge\nDuring an arduous and dangerous trek through the Scarlet Desert in search of the fabled Well of Tears, Dorgo the Dowser and his companions accidentally uncover an ancient artifact buried for eons beneath the blood-colored sand. After a harrowing, action-packed journey through the desert they find the Well of Tears, the repository of God’s tears, and there encounter the ghosts of the Sisters of the Blue Light, the Guardians of the Well. The nuns tell them about the relic of antiquity they found: it is a thing of cosmic evil — a thing not of their world, a thing which must be destroyed. But the answer to destroying that artifact is a riddle Dorgo and his companions must discover for themselves. 
When the Spirit trapped inside the artifact is set free by one of their companions, Dorgo and the others learn that the evil now threatens not only their world, but all the Otherworlds of the multi-dimensional Echoverse. The key to destroying this evil is somehow tied in with the demons seeking to control Echo Gate — the master portal that leads not only to every world in the Echoverse, but through Space and Time, as well. As a great battle erupts on the island of Thavarar, where Echo Gate is located, Dorgo and his companions must unravel the mystery of the thing they found in the desert, and discover the means by which it can be destroyed.

Mad Shadows III: The Heroes of Echo Gate

Only fools fall in love, and hell is filled with fools. Our damned lovers include: Christopher Marlowe and Will Shakespeare, Napoleon and Wellington, Orpheus and Eurydice, Hatshepsut and Senenmut, Abelard and Heloise, Helen and Penelope, Saint Teresa and Satan's Reaper, Madge Kendall and the Elephant Man, and more . . . -- all of whom pay a hellish price for indulging their affections. Shakespeare said "To be wise and love exceeds man's might," and in Lovers in Hell, the damned in hell exceed all bounds as they search for their true loves, punish the perfidious, and avoid getting caught up in Satan's snares. In ten stories of misery and madness, hell's most loveless seek to slake the thirst that can never be quenched, and find true love amid the lies of ages.
