"The Congregation" by Aric Mitchell is the nightmarish biblical aftermath of Cain and Abel.  Following the Lord's promise of vengeance, the story hopscotches through history in an arcane blood bath that seems unstoppable.  The story is superbly complicated by the number of background tragedies that float through the author's dissertation like so many scurrying roaches!  I think the complication is like a dare to understand at a deeper level and the plot to this story is layered so thick, you'll need a shovel to dig your way out.  I really liked the characters and the creep factor of this book is well into the goose flesh range.  Can't wait for your next book, but you won't mind if I cross myself before I pick it up, right?  Terrific job and I would recommend this novel to anyone who loves a great horror story!
