In this nightmarish tale, Pete and Amy try to discover who or what to follow. 

Pete and Amy hear many voices declaring "truth", which is the right one? The situation seems bleak, at best, especially for Pete.

Pete, a successful Mayor, must make sense of what is going on in this world and the world to come. He is haunted by an unknown smell from the darkened anthropomorphic house he lives at, as well as a strange world he keeps reappearing in.

Curious things keep happening as this man is caught in a double life of weakness and strength. On the one hand, he is loved and people understand him as a powerful, prosperous man. On the other hand, he is secretly weak and lost, especially when around his house.

Amy, who encounters Pete later, is a skilled warrior, from a different world. She has reliance on no one. Yet she too, is in confusion at what is happening, and her world crumbles from what she has previously known.

Can Pete and Amy figure out what is occurring before they follow the wrong voice?

This dark christian thriller is filled with suspense, action and a rush of adrenaline, humor and defiance...you'll be on the fringe.

And...

"Encountering Darkness," a christian fantasy and adventure novel, will take you on a thought provoking journey.

Jason Teufel by Teufel6
8 parts Complete
History is written by the victors. It's something we've known for years. The classic biblical tale depicts an eternal struggle between gruesome demons and gallant angels. Good vs. evil. Light vs. dark. But what if this is just another skewed perception of history? What if the truth is so much darker then a black and white tale? Jason Teufel is haunted by dreams of an ancient battlefield field covered with fire and smoke, monstrous creatures fighting legions of angels, and hidden gems that glow with power. Of these nightmares, it is the hall that scares him the most. Cold and dark, he is dragged through a long hallway night after night, the still breath of death bearing ever down on him. When a terrifying vampire by the name of Moragan, kidnaps Jason in the hopes of resurrecting a terrible evil, he is forced to confront the horrors of his mind. Hunted by angels and demons alike, the once cut and dry biblical fiction becomes so much hazier then it had once seemed. Evil fights evil and good seems suspiciously absent from either side. With nothing as it should be, Jason must traverse the bowls of the earth, each step unlocking a new clue to the reason behind the war of Heaven and Hell. As the dreams become clearer, Jason becomes colder. Perhaps a "gift" from Moragan or perhaps something that has always been there, the darkness within begins to change him. Now there is a choice that must be made, with the truth laid bare at his feet, will he cling to the old ideas of history or will he resist the powers that be...
