The world didn’t end, so I had to open the bar…

In Portland, Oregon, a city known for weirdness, the weirdest of the weird drink at Zoth. Where occult symbols and horror movie posters cover the walls. Where patrons play at occultism. Where live-action roleplayers meet twice a week.

Where the "gruesome foursome" meet for lunch on Wednesdays. Four men who might actually wield dark powers because they worship dark gods.

Where today the bar's owner, Clark Phillips, learns the horrible truth.

Sects and the City, a twisted novel of dark urban fantasy, featuring a hidden world of occult forces underlying our daily life. Fans of pulp horror, secret societies, conspiracies, and the Cthulhu Mythos will love this book! From Stefon Mears, author of The House on Cedar Street, Devil's Night, and the Edge of Humanity series.
