Not all magicians go to schools of magic. Adam Binder has the Sight. It's a power that runs in his bloodline: the ability to see beyond this world and into another, a realm of magic populated by elves, gnomes, and spirits of every kind. But for much of Adam's life, that power has been a curse, hindering friendships, worrying his backwoods family, and fueling his abusive father's rage. Years after his brother, Bobby, had him committed to a psych ward, Adam is ready to come to grips with who he is, to live his life on his terms, to find love, and maybe even use his magic to do some good. Hoping to track down his missing father, Adam follows a trail of cursed artifacts to Denver, only to discover that an ancient and horrifying spirit has taken possession of Bobby's wife. It isn't long before Adam becomes the spirit's next target. To survive the confrontation, save his sister-in-law, and learn the truth about his father, Adam will have to risk bargaining with very dangerous beings ... including his first love.

Product Description 
The second book in David R. Slayton's Adam Binder series 
 "[A] thrilling, well-crafted sequel…An emotionally rich page-turner." --Publishers Weekly 
They are my harvest, and I will reap them all 
Returning to Guthrie, Oklahoma for the funeral of his mysterious and beloved Aunt Sue, Adam Binder once again finds himself in the path of deadly magic when a dark druid begins to prey on members of Adam's family. It all seems linked to the death of Adam's father many years ago -- a man who may have somehow survived as a warlock. 
Watched by the police, separated from the man who may be the love of his life, compelled to seek the truth about his connection to the druid, Adam learns more about his family and its troubled history than he ever bargained for, and finally comes face to face with the warlock he has vowed to stop. 
Meanwhile, beyond the Veil of the mortal world, Argent the Queen of Swords and Vic the Reaper undertake a dangerous journey to a secret meeting of the Council of Races . . . where the sea elves are calling for the destruction of humanity. 
 Review 
"In 'Trailer Park Trickster', David R. Slayton doubles down on everything that made his first book great: a complicated world, dangerous magic, a likable protagonist, dark family secrets, and, of course, authentically painful (or is that painfully authentic?) love. I can’t wait for more!" --Gregory Ashe, author of the Hazard and Somerset mysteries\n"[A] thrilling, well-crafted sequel to 'White Trash Warlock'…The interweaving of Adam’s and Vic’s quests builds satisfying tension on the way to an unresolved ending that sets things up nicely for the next installment. The result is an emotionally rich page-turner." --Publishers Weekly\n"Slayton’s book gathers up pretty much every modern fantasy trope, turns them upside down, and shakes them…The elves who show up would have Tolkien rolling in his grave, which is my highest endorsement, and the LGBTQIA+ rep is all around outstanding." --BookRiot on 'White Trash Warlock' (book one of the Adam Binder series)

The living cannot be allowed to infect the dead. 
Adam Binder has lost what matters most to him. Having finally learned the true identity of the warlock preying on his family, what was supposed to be a final confrontation with the fiend instead became a trap that sent Adam's beloved Vicente into the realm of the dead, where none living are meant to be. 
Bound by debt, oath, and love, Adam blazes his own trail into the underworld to get Vicente back, and to end the threat of the warlock once and for all. But the road to hell is paved with far more than good intentions. Demons are hungry, and ghosts are relentless, and what awaits Adam in the underworld is nothing he is prepared to face. 
If that weren't enough, Adam has one more thing he must do if he and Vicente are to return to the world of the living: find the lost heart of Death herself.
