Black
magick is alive and well in Berkeley, California....
A magician destroys the archetypal avocado and every last one of the
purple fruits disappears from the face of the earth. When the Berkeley
Blackfriars are called in to investigate, they discover that the
magician was not working alone and that avocados are not the only
things slated to disappear. In order to stop those responsible they
must face their own demons before heartbreaking disaster grips the
world.
The Berkeley Blackfriars are not your
standard-brand
priests—they swear like longshoremen and aren’t
above the
occasional spliff or one-night stand—but if you’ve
got a
nasty demon on your ass, they’re exactly the guys you want in
your corner.
A thrill ride from beginning to end, THE KINGDOM combines suspense,
tragedy, whimsy and horror in almost equal measure. Its world is
peopled with characters that are poignant, complicated and maddeningly
human. Laced with a rich mythology worthy of “Buffy the
Vampire
Slayer” and the smart religious iconoclasm of Garth
Ennis’
Preacher comic book series, THE KINGDOM is an utterly unique adventure.
