Pedantry and mastery are opposite attitudes toward rules. To apply a rule to
the letter, rigidly, unquestioningly, in cases where it fits and in cases where
it does not fit, is pedantry... To apply a rule with natural ease, with
judgment, noticing the cases where it fits, and without ever letting the words
of the rule obscure the purpose of the action or the opportunities of the
situation, is mastery. -George Polya, professor of mathematics (1887-1985)

Children of Chaos
Greg F. Gifune
Delirium Books 2009
In a torrential downpour, Phil, Jamie and Martin-three teenage boys-encounter
a strange and enigmatic man covered in horrible scars who will change their
lives, their destinies and the very fate of their souls forever. When their
encounter leads to murder, they realize this eerie stranger may not have been a
man at all, but something much more.
Thirty years later the boys-now men-lead tormented lives filled with
horrifying memories of the scarred man. Phil is a struggling writer, divorced,
with a daughter and a mounting drinking problem. Jamie is a defrocked priest
with depraved secrets and horrible addictions, and Martin, a madman who thinks
himself a god, has vanished into a desolate desert region of Mexico and
established a feared and violent blood cult. When Martin's dying mother hires
Phil to find her son and bring him home, Phil embarks on a perilous journey
that will take him from the seedy streets of Tijuana, to a dangerous and
allegedly haunted stretch of desert Mexican road known as The Corridor of
Demons. At the end of the road, in an old and previously abandoned church,
Martin and his followers wait in the Hell-on-Earth they've created deep in the
desert. There will be only one chance for redemption, one chance for
salvation, and one chance to stop the rise of an antichrist's bloody quest for
demonic power.
From the void, came chaos. These are its children.
