About the Book

You have rented a secluded cabin in the wilderness of a beautiful Redwood forrest. You're trying to relax on the back porch in the midst of these new and strange surroundings, when your eye catches a hint of motion toward the rear of the property where the trees are thick whiledarkness is setting in. Your hair stands up on the back of your neck; the thought of being watched by someone or something from the dense thicket.

After calling out to the ghost, he finally emerges. It is an old bearded man still partially obscured by the trees and shadow. You approach him cautiously and he finally speaks. You are told a strange and frieghtening tale of the previous tennants of this place that you are in.

What unfolds is a truth that is stranger than fiction about a man that was called the Devil Man because of the way he twisted his Afro hair into two points at the top of his forehead. He was the subject of great fear because he commanded the area of this place wearing Speedo trunks, a cape and a 45-caliber gun strapped to his side.

As the story unfolds you are both excieted and cautioned of the things that happened here. Being a writter, you see the makings of a new book, but the risk of developing it could cost you your life.
