I just finished Drago Descending by Greg Gifune...who you may ask and that's the problem. I discovered Greg Gifune crawling the net and searching for dark horror fiction, horror that does not rely on gratuitous violence,horror that does not inundate you with sexual depravity but rather horror that makes you question and think about the world we live in and the evil that surrounds us. Drago Descending essentially confronts the age old question if we we believe there is good in the world, if we believe there is an afterlife then it stands to reason there must be some form of hell. So in essence the book is a battle between good and evil and those who would sell their souls to attain some kind of immortality. This is the second book I have read by Gifune and the main protagonists are flawed they are people living at the extremes of society who are trying to assimilate and make sense of their individual existence. Private Investigator David Drago is a former policeman and Gulf War veteran struggling with his combat experiences, his time spent in the psychological ward of a veteran's hospital, and the darkness of his past. When he is approached by a mysterious client who hires him to locate his missing fiance, Jesse Greenlaw, Drago hesitantly takes the case. The problem, Jesse is also David's former girlfriend, and an integral part of the murky past still haunting him. Drawn into a world of pornography, where Jesse was working at the time of her disappearance, his investigation leads him into a labyrinth of violence, sexual intrigue, black witchcraft, and satanism. The deeper he digs, the deeper Drago descends into a dark netherworld haunted by terrifying visions of angels and demons alike, and where nothing is what it seems. David Drago is trapped in a nightmare, and there is no escape.
I have his latest book on order "Gardens of Night" but unfortunately as he is little known here in the UK it has to be sourced and bought from the US, but I will certainly look forward to reading and reviewing. Do visit his web site at
