The Fetch (The Retro Terror Series #1)
A novel about two sorcerers clashing over the summoning of a powerful evil entity.
Jake and Isabelle engage in a war defined by their magical alignments. His commitment to good magic contrasts sharply with her use of black magic for personal bidding. The turning point arrives when she calls forth the Fetch, an entity of immense malevolent power. This action shifts the conflict from a simple duel to a complex struggle involving deception and control. The text examines the limits of containing evil through character interactions rather than abstract theory. It appeals to those who enjoy the specific flavor of late twentieth-century television horror. The narrative does not offer easy answers regarding trust or morality in the face of such power.
The book operates as a pulpy, campy homage to made-for-television horror movies from the 1970s and 1980s. It integrates themes of Satanic Panic into its supernatural narrative structure.
