Fiction Friday: Hideous Beauty

A thrilling tale of good versus evil, perfect for this shadowy time of year.

There are currently a lot of ghosts and goblins in my neighbor’s front yard. Thankfully they’re plastic and gauzy fabric. But that’s not to say these things don’t exist. While our human eyes don’t see the spirit realm, I believe it’s real. Jack Cavanaugh’s new release, Hideous Beauty, delves into the what if’s and maybe’s of spiritual warfare. Here’s a blurb:

Every day invaders slip across our borders to infiltrate our government, our schools, our neighborhoods. Homeland security can't stop them. The armed forces are no threat to them. Powerful and unseen, they cannot be stopped. They have been doing this for millennia.

On what should have been the best day of his life, Pulitzer Prize–winning author Grant Austin learns of a plan to assassinate the president of the United States. Every attempt to sound the alarm is thwarted, and Grant soon finds himself at the center of an even greater battle that predates time as he stands alone against ancient powers and unspeakable evil--evil that can only be described as a hideous beauty.
