Insanity's Rapture: A Grimdark Fantasy Horror Novel

Akaran's worst nightmare has come true - and he's powerless to stop her.

In life, the woman in his dreams had been a spy - a murderess, a liar, a fraud, and a thief. Sentenced to burn for her crimes, her screams have haunted his sleep since the moment she was set aflame. Discontent with just tormenting his sleep, her restless spirit now haunts his every step, both as cruel whisper in his ear and a vile vision in his eye as she heralds the arrival of a demonic plague that Akaran can't do anything to stop.

But while she twists his soul into shreds, another killer has turned the streets of Basion City into their private playground. No place is safe - not Medias Manor, not the Repository of Miral, and not even the Temple of Stara. As more people go missing and the bodies pile up, a bloody war in the underworld threatens to spill out of the darkness and into the light.

As both the city and Akaran's mind descend into chaos, only insanity offers rapture.

Insanity's Rapture is the revenge-filled second book in the Auramancer's Exorcism. An immediate followup to Book I, Insanity's Respite, Rapture forces Akaran to confront what's in his mind at any cost - all while confronting his many bloody failures. If you like brutal heroes, spine-chilling creatures, and grisly combat then you’ll love Joshua E. B. Smith’s uncompromising epic.
