Detective Franklin Monroe isn't easily unnerved. A missing persons lead from an old preacher sends him to an old religious woman's house. Wandering room after room filled with bodies and graffiti pentagrams, Franklin's unshakeable faith in the empiric falls into question. Evil and danger permeate the remote home. What happened to Kayla Adams? And what was unleashed inside the old Woodson mansion?Detective Franklin Monroe isn't easily disturbed by much and always finds the thread of logic in every case. He is certainly less prone to superstition than his partner, Hugo. When they follow up on a lead from an aging DCS case after an elderly caregiver dies, they don't expect much based on her mental condition. Her final days were spent raving of demonic activity. But inside the home, every inch of her dilapidated house challenges Franklin's unshakeable faith in the empiric. As they discover room after room filled with bodies, the detectives are compelled to investigate and discover answers for two questions. What happened to Kayla Adams? And what kind of hell was unleashed inside the old Woodson mansion? Father of the Esurient Child was originally published in Fear & Trembling Mag (Feb 2008) and was revised/expanded into a novelette in 2016
