SYNOPSIS: When four fathers venture onto the reclusive Johnny "Junk" Curtis's property in search of their missing children, what they find is beyond their worst nightmares; the motive for the hermit's strange junk fetish, the fates of their missing children, and Johnny Junk's greatest secret. A secret he guards at all costs. Can they survive the trap that Johnny Junk has set for them? Will they escape the King Of Souls?

"A chilling story of how far a father will go to find his missing child. Dark and foreboding and extremely well done."
— Barry Hunter, BARYON MAGAZINE

“One of today’s most exciting writers.”
— Ed Gorman, BREAKING UP IS HARD TO DO

“KING OF SOULS is further proof that Brian Knight is a force to be reckoned with in the horror genre. Dark, chaotic, and mean — this one’s another winner.”
— James Newman, THE WICKED, MIDNIGHT RAIN

"In KING OF SOULS, Knight never lets up from his edge-of-your-seat pacing and crisp, visual storytelling."
— Mehitobel Wilson, DANGEROUS RED

“Brian Knight’s writing shines with a dark brilliance.”
— Douglas Clegg, PRIEST OF BLOOD

"[In KING OF SOULS, Brian Knight] took one of my greatest fears and showed me that it could be so much worse that I'd ever imagined. I wouldn't be surprised if on some level I'll always be thinking about this story, on and off, for the remainder of my life."
—Tim Waggoner, from his Introduction
