Seerstone

A Supernatural Thriller

Seerstone is a thoroughly researched, tension-wrought tale of greed and how it dazzles and threatens, sometimes using the most arcane and unearthly means, to conquer a man and his family and to wring seemingly impossible changes, potentially enormous changes in the life of Dayer Preston, who, with his wife, has always striven to work toward the light, as they understand it. The story takes place at the dawn of the nineteenth century in Williker Township, a cold and dying place in western New York State at a time when it seemed that there was no magic strong enough to make things right, to bring forth abundance from an earth that withheld its bounty, despite mans best efforts. Despite the magic that stirred the spirits of heaven and earth. It is a strange and unearthly time. It was an era in which an average, everyday person knew that if you put a few hairs in a glass of water, they would turn into worms overnight, and that to assure prosperity, lamens scrawled with magic words would be placed behind the mantel. The line between magic and reality was blurred, and so the arrival of a ritual magician at your door on an early spring night wasnt much to be noticed, not even when he began to bring a struggling farm family closer and closer to the line between objective reality and a world ruled over by magic words scrawled on a page. It is a tale of mystery. How much can the magician Walters bring forth? How much of what he says are lies? And how much of what he possesses can bring forth bounty and potential wealth from an unforgiving earth? How much is simply evil? And can it be controlled? And why is Dayer Preston so necessary to the grandest of all the magic rituals that awaits them?
