Author Description

What if the most infamous betrayal in history left behind more than just whispers of treachery? What if it stained a place with a curse that echoed through time, claiming new victims with every generation? Over two thousand years ago, a field in ancient Jerusalem was purchased with the thirty pieces of silver Judas Iscariot received for betraying Jesus. Known as Akeldama, or the "Field of Blood," it was meant to serve as a cemetery for foreigners, but its blood-soaked past left it forever cursed. Few know the true origins of the name, or the terrible fate awaiting those who set foot on its haunted soil. Tales of Akeldama is a gripping collection of four contemporary horror stories, where the sins of the past collide with the dark motives of the present. A former Mossad agent, a ruthless American attorney, a Norwegian black metal band, and a landowner from northern Mexico are drawn to Akeldama, where they will confront their deepest fears-and the bloody price for their darkest choices. Bound by fate, they will soon discover that some betrayals never die, and the cost of redemption may be paid in blood. For fans of supernatural thrillers, demonic horror, and biblical dark fiction, this chilling short story collection explores how ancient sins still claim modern souls.
