Someone Is Trying To Open A Portal To Hell And Others Will Do Whatever It Takes To Stop It – Or So They say…
Ascot Media Group (Press Release) — Houston, TX, May 29, 2011 – F. Paul Wilson, NY Times best-selling author of Fatal Error says it best: “Hank Schwaeble has done it again. Diabolical more than lives up to its title – a twisty turny, demonic rollercoaster ride to hell.”
Diabolical (Berkley/Jove, a division of Penguin Publishing—July 2011) by Hank Schwaeble is the second in the series of pulse-pounding thrillers that are rapidly capturing the attention of readers of the horror/thriller genre. Diabolical puts combat veteran Jake Hatcher back into the dark and deadly world of the Carnates, the beautiful and merciless women he has crossed paths with in the past, only this time a chilling twist makes it personal and forces him to make the toughest decision of his life!
Jake had been lying low in Southern California but he wasn’t surprised when he was asked to jump back into the battle between salvation and damnation to stop those who are hell bent on raising the forces of darkness – only this time it’s the ’why and by whom’ that’s unnerving him.
Vivian Fall is a former nun who believes that a Hellion has escaped the infernal regions and returned to earth on an unholy mission to unleash the forces of damnation on an unsuspecting world. Convinced that Hatcher is the only man with the experience to track down such a demon, she approaches him with an offer he can’t refuse – all the while knowing that Hatcher will be the only man who can get close to it because the Hellion just happens to be his own brother!
Hank Schwaeble is a thriller writer and practicing attorney in Houston, Texas. He has won two Bram Stoker awards for previous books and a World Fantasy Award nomination, and is fast-becoming a talent to reckon with in the world of thriller/horror fiction.

David Liss, Edgar Award-winning author of The Devil’s Company: “With Diabolical, Hank Schwaeble proves he is the real deal and one of the best new horror writers out there. This is a fast-paced, clever, scary, gripping, page-turning monster of a novel.”
Dave Zeltserman, Shamus Award-winning author of The Caretaker of Lorne Field: “I loved Damnable by Hank Schwaeble… maybe one of my favorite horror thriller reads, at least until reading Schwaeble’s follow-up, Diabolical. Everything I loved so much about Damnable is here with the same highly compulsive vibe and a pace fast enough to burn your fingers as you’re turning the pages…What can I say, Diabolical is a HELL of a ride!”
