Gideon Cain is modeled after Robert E. Howard’s Solomon Kane. He is a
1600s Puritan, attempting to find and destroy the demon, Azazel. This volume
contains seven stories by varied authors: The Girl In The Glass Coffin by Ian
Watson; The Scrolls of Destiny by K.G. McAbee; The Shadow of The Valley of
Death by David Wright; The Cave of Ssesaterus by Scott Harris; The House of The
Witch by James Palmer; The Work of The Devil by Brian Zavitz; and The Red Flame
of Death by Van Allen Plexico; plus a poem, Gideon Cain, by David Wright.
This was a nice production, well edited, and all the stories were highly
enjoyable. In picking a favorite I was tied between The Scrolls of Destiny by
K.G. McAbee and The Work of The Devil by Brian Zavitz. Actually, both had
Krakens, a plus for any story. The winner was The Scrolls of Destiny by K.G.
McAbee. But great stories all. The interior art by Rod Davis was also fantastic.
Highly recommended.
