Satan's Swine (The Cleansing, #2)

by John Wooley, Robert A. Brown

Overview

1935. Welcome back to Mackaville, Arkansas, a a small town in the Ozarks where nothing is what it seems. Strangers are suspect. And the townsfolk harbor horrible secrets.

WPA Folklore Project worker Robert Brown — the man with the extrasensory powers he calls his "seventh sense" — finds himself surrounded by black magic. After a brutal rattlesnake attack, Robert faces an invasion of feral hogs — including a couple who turn out to be more than animals. Unsure who he can trust, Robert escapes to St. Louis with David Garland Jefferson, a man obsessed by the unspeakable terrors of his past. 

The unearthly horror continues in this second volume of the critically acclaimed trilogy The Cleansing. Robert must keep his friends close and his enemies closer if he hopes to survive the impending doom closing in on him—and everyone else in Macaville, Arkansas.

About the Author

John Wooley made his first professional sale in the late 1960s, placing a script with the legendary Eerie magazine. He's now in his sixth decade as a professional writer, having written three mass-market paperback horror novels with co-author Ron Wolfe, including Death's Door, which was one of the first books released under Dell's Abyss imprint and nominated for a Bram Stoker Award. His solo horror and fantasy novels include Awash in the Blood, Ghost Band, and Dark Within, the latter a finalist for the Oklahoma Book Award. 

Wooley is also the author of the critically acclaimed biographies Wes Craven: A Man and His Nightmares and Right Down the Middle: The Ralph Terry Story. He has co-written or contributed to several volumes of Michael H. Price's Forgotten Horrors series of movie books and co-hosts the podcast of the same name. 

Robert A. Brown has spent most of his working life in public education, serving as both a reading specialist and a principal, but he has also authored several nonfiction pieces dealing with the Great Depression and its popular culture, including western movies and the so-called "Spicy" magazines of the period. His work includes a piece on the legend of cowboy-movie star Tom Mix tcommissioned by the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. An internationally known collector of such nostalgic items such as movie paper, radio premiums, and pulp magazines, Brown supplied the art and wrote the text for Kitchen Sink Press's popular trading card series Spicy: Naughty '30s Pulp Covers and Spicy: More Naughty '30s Pulp Covers, which quickly became sold-out collector's items.

Brown initiated what became The Cleansing, writing letters on authentic period stationery to his old friend Wooley, using his deep knowledge of the 1930s to portray himself as the WPA employee beset by rural horrors who became The Cleansing's protagonist.
