Mortal Hedonism

This is a sample from Chapter Four “Thicket” in the book “Pazuzu – Emergence” by Matthew Sawyer.

Dil Cortras confronts the fact the demon takes control of his body for acts of mortal hedonism.

“There were parts Dil didn’t like.  He woke up far away outside the safety of the church.  He wore new clothes.  His old ones were gone and so was all his money.  He didn’t remember shopping.  The last thing he recalled was bringing the hacksaw back for Ben.  After that his lack of coherency was if he was sleepwalking.  The events he could remember floated back to him as if they were in a dream.  The voice encouraged him to drink too much.  It wouldn’t let him stop even when he knew he had enough and was becoming sick.  The voice sounded thrilled as if indulging in an orgy of sensations wracking Dil’s body.  Pleasure and pain were one in the same to the voice.  Exhaustion, drunkenness, sleep and a gorged stomach were savored as fond reminiscences.  Dil was the vehicle.  Still the voice showed him what he needed to see.”

My self-published “Pazuzu – Emergence” book is on lulu.com. This is the second book in the “Pazuzu” series.

The third book is called “Pazuzu – Abeyance”.

The first book is called “Pazuzu – Manifestation”.
