Max walks in two worlds. He resides in the borderland between the world of shadowy government conspiracy and the world of vengeful ghosts and evil gods, between living flesh and supernatural spirits â€“ between life and death. For Max is the ultimate killer, an assassin powered by the Beast, an inner demon that enables him to kill â€“ and to do it incredibly well. But the Beast inside Max is very real and very much alive. He is all of Max's dark desires, his murderous impulses, and he won't ever let Max forget that he exists. The Beast is Max. So it won't be easy for Max to silence the Beast, though he knows that is what he must do to reclaim his humanity. But without the protection of the Beast, Max the assassin will soon find himself the prey, the target of the spirits of his past victims.

Road to Hell

Oz - One of the most famous literary images to cross over into the dark streets of the real world . . .  Oz - The symbol for all things other.  Over the rainbow.  At the far end of the yellow brick road.  In the shadowy parts of the brain.  Where the witches and the wizards and the flying monkeys are . . .  Oz - something that transcends childhood, adulthood, here, there, inside, outside, the mind, reality . . .  Oz - the soil and fertilizer that Gerard Houarner uses to grow three substantial stories.  Three amazing studies of how the mind, the imaginary and the real interact.  And how they can blur and become fused.
