THE GOD MOCCUS IS BORN FOR THE BETTERMENT OF EARTH IN THE BLACKNESS WITHIN

New horror anthology from Apex Publishing Senior Editor Gill Ainsworth promises a better future, but not for all

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

[Lexington, Kentucky] – It won’t happen naturally, but has any god ever been conceived in a natural way? Moccus, the Real God, will come into our world as all gods should: reborn through science. No part of the planet will be outside His influence, immune to His powers.

The future might not be easy, but it will be better. Perhaps not for mankind, but Moccus’ thoughts are with the planet as a whole. Often harsh, never forgiving, He preaches His agenda: Earth’s fertility at all costs.

Comprised of thirteen loosely linked stories, THE BLACKNESS WITHIN is a horror anthology that unfolds the story of Moccus with a coherent, novel-like feel. From Europe to Australasia to the Americas, no part of the world escapes the Real God’s influence. Camille Alexa, Steven L. Shrewsbury, and 11 other established and emerging authors contribute their considerable talents to weave together the story of the planet’s brutal savior, coming in 2010 from Apex Publishing.
