Bob Constantine (no relation to the other Constantine you may have heard of) is a down-on-his-luck exorcist-for-hire. Nondenominational. He roams from town to town, from city to city, inexorably drawn to the homes, businesses, and even places of worship that have become temporal homes for terrifying, malevolent spirits. Poltergeists. Screaming Mimis. Apparitions. Banshees.
You see, Bob is one of the rarest of humans: a necropath, with the talent to see and communicate with the spirits of the dead. And demons, obviously. Demons are real, by the way. Bob should know, as he’s had once chasing him since his powers first manifested when he was a teen—hence the roaming.
Except… Bob’s got a bit of a secret, and it’s not just that he can talk to ghosts. Turns out all the hauntings he’s been exorcising… might be… um… his fault. Sort of.
Bob's an exorcist on the run from the demons of his past.
Coming in early 2025.
This book is a bit of an indulgence. I love the DC comic character John Constantine—even the Keanu Reeves movie. And I got to thinking, “wouldn’t it be kind of cool if there was some other guy with that same last name, no relation, who was this super down-and-out non-badass?” The Constantine movie opens with John performing a real exorcism… what if my hero did the same thing, only in a very low-brow way, as a means of supporting himself? My characters are definitely less gritty, a bit more resigned, and far more likely to take the path of least resistance—which can definitely be a bit of fun!
