"A potent fusion of intelligent horror and thrilling mystery. Guaranteed to captivate readers who crave atmospheric chills and cerebral scares." ~The Prairies Book Review, 2025
"The Vessel is ... a book that will appeal to fans of dark fantasy and supernatural thrillers who enjoy complex characters and intricate plot twists." ~ Literary Titan, 2025
Former intelligence agent Jack de Sombras thought he left behind a life of secrets when he and his clairvoyant partner, Tessa Wells Lancing, opened an executive protection firm, focusing on clients endangered by threats far beyond the ordinary.
As Tessa wrestles with uncontrollable precognitive visions and Jack's relentless skepticism strains their trust, a deadly chase begins through San Francisco's eerie fog and Jack's traumatic past. The deeper they delve, the clearer it becomes: their adversary is a master of forbidden rites with a terrifying ability to blur the line between sacred and monstrous. An unyielding preacher of twisted liturgy who will do anything to be reborn.
Haunted by her disturbing visions, pursued by a deadly family past, and hunted by a dark resurrection cult, Jack and Tessa must confront their greatest fears - a horror that refuses to stay dead and love that may never come to life. Can they unravel a ritual of blood and betrayal before an unstoppable evil is reborn?
The Vessel, The Praetorius Files #3, where reality fractures into myth and madness, survival isn't just a matter of bullets and bravery - it's a fight to keep the darkness from claiming body and soul. From the award-winning author of The Skin Thief and A Place of Fog and Murder.
T. E. MacArthur, author, artist, historian, and amateur parapsychologist wannabe living in the San Francisco Bay Area. She wrote the Steampunk series, The Volcano Lady and the Gaslight Adventures of Tom Turner, as well as the Noir-punk mystery, Lou Tanner, P.I.: A Place of Fog and Murder. She has also written for several local and specialized publications, anthologies, and was an accidental sports reporter for Reuters News.
Her storytelling changed direction recently to embrace the paranormal, her lifelong obsession, with her newest novel set in the Four Corner region of Colorado, not far from where she grew up.
She's always been in love with ghosts, ancient curses, magic, and things that go bump in the night, and wants desperately to tell you all about it. Just ask her.
