Cvlt

A brutal blend of cult horror, splatterpunk, and transgressive fiction, Cvlt returns to the Lonely Motel as a cult deprogrammer confronts an enigmatic member of the Children of Dinah—and three supposed miracles that may come at a horrifying price.

"This isn't a story about forgiveness, Michael. This is about wrath." Michael Enhart, a cult deprogrammer, thought he'd seen and heard it all. That is, until he meets Gloria. A member of the secretive Children of Dinah cult, Gloria is cunning, enigmatic, and far more than he bargained for. Enhart plans to break down her defenses and bring her back to her birth mother. Gloria proposes a counter-offer: if she can prove to him three genuine miracles, he'll set her free. But the Lonely Motel has plans of its own. Because no miracle comes without a price. And there can be no healing without pain. Cvlt is a standalone novel set at the Lonely Motel. It is not necessary to have read the other books in the series to enjoy it, though your appreciation for certain elements about the motel will be enhanced.
