Book 1 |
Exiled on Earth, naive angel Gabriel and amoral demon Lucifer — in the human guise of “Gabe Horn” and “Lou Cypher” — form an unlikely partnership as private investigators in Las Vegas. Their adventures take them across the seven heavenly realms, into the nine levels of Hell, through the dream realm of the Dreamscape, and even through time to Camelot. Along the way, the pair encounter a wickedly funny assortment of angels, demons, witches, warlocks, vampires, and other supernatural creatures. Meet some of the most imaginative characters in contemporary fantasy, including an intriguing array of protagonists (Miss Twitch, a Salem witch; Emma, a British schoolgirl and witch-in-training, and Morgan Summers, a Dreamwalker) and antagonists (sadistic witch-hunter Nathaniel Thornhill, a golem, a Paiute Shaman, the corporate vampires of Nosferatu, Inc., trampires, gangsters, and nefarious demons). Some of the vampires include Sharon — she's Jewish, crosses don't bother her; Pandora — trouble follows her like a shadow; Claude — he's too claustrophobic to use a coffin; and Artemus — a 10-year-old boy who's been a vampire for nearly 457 years. But the real stars are the ultimate odd couple, Gabriel and Lucifer, whose comedic banter and improbable escapades will amuse and thrill readers and leave them asking for more.

This deluxe, 904-page Omnibus Edition contains all four volumes in the Halos & Horns fantasy saga, replete with new color illustrations; the comprehensive Guide to the Halos & Horns Multiverse detailing each character, place, and object; previously unpublished essays on the mythos; and the novelette The Pandora Chronicles, a preview of the forthcoming spin-off, Fangs & Fur. Halos & Horns: The Omnibus Editionreintroduces readers to Gabriel and Lucifer, on the lam from their respective realms, Heaven and Hell, seeking sanctuary on Earth as Las Vegas private eyes; their secretary, Samantha Twitch, a witch; a team of vampires that includes claustrophobic Claude, 10-year-old Artemus, Russian spy Valentina, happy-go-lucky Pandora, and Sharon Mordecai, daughter of the local homicide detective. They meet Síofra, an Irish changeling; Asabi, an African emere who travels between Heaven and Earth; and Kaya, a Japanese girl with a deadly secret. Our heroes face many threats, including the Dark Gods who seek to rule our dimension; demons like the ancient Lilith, mother of all succubi; witch-hunters; and deadly Dark Fae creatures. Each chapter is a story, a patch in the fabric of a larger quilt. Now, collected for the first time in a single volume, readers can immerse themselves in the patchwork woven by Keith B. Darrell. “There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” — Hamlet (Act 1, Scene 5). Beneath the prosaic veneer of urban life, mortal humans live in blissful ignorance alongside preternatural and supernatural creatures: warlocks and witches, vampires, werewolves, the Fae, kitsune, and creatures whispered of in African, Irish, and Japanese myths. Seers gaze at the Sands of Time as the golden grains tumble through the mystical hourglass, seeking to divine what the Fates have woven. Through these memorable characters and exotic settings, the author explores the nature of good and evil, free will versus predetermination, man's inhumanity to man, universal versus moral relativism, nature versus nurture, loss of innocence, coming of age, death, love and friendship, the quest for power, individualism, sacrifice, and faith versus doubt, among other literary themes. |
