Gregory Lamberson’s second Jake Helman novel, Desperate Souls, is now available as a trade paperback from Medallion Press!

They’re not breathing. That’s why they’re so still. But that’s not possible . . .

Eleven months after battling Nicholas Tower and the demon Cain, Jake Helman has set up shop as a private investigator in Lower Manhattan. When a woman hires Jake to prove that her dead grandson is dealing a deadly new drug called “Black Magic” on a Brooklyn street corner, Jake uncovers a vicious drug lord’s plot to use voodoo to seize control of the city.

While panic grips New York City, Jake Helman battles gun-wielding zombie assassins, hallucinations, and betrayal at every corner. But voodoo creates more terrors than zombies, and Jake finds himself poised on the edge of insanity as he fights to restore the soul of the one person he trusts.

NEW: Audio book versions of PERSONAL DEMONS and DESPERATE SOULS, the first two volumes in The Jake Helman Files, are available from Audible.com, iTunes, and Amazon. Narrated by Christopher Hurt.

Author Praise for Gregory Lamberson’s Desperate Souls:

“Dark fantasy fans will be impressed by this action-packed, gory, and witty read.”
Publishers Weekly

“Proving that the first Helman novel wasn’t a one-off fluke, Lamberson (who’s also written the werewolf novel The Frenzy Way, 2010) serves up another helping of action, horror, and supernatural mayhem. As in Personal Demons, it’s Jake’s own journey that provides the story’s dramatic anchor—with all this otherworldly stuff going on, Jake’s efforts to save the life of a friend provide a nice counterpoint. Another fine novel from this increasingly interesting writer.” 
~ David Pitt, Booklist 

"Make no mistake about it. Greg Lamberson’s second outing into the world of Jake Helman is breathtaking and relentless. This is the occult detective genre done right, with finesse, charm, and nonstop action from an author at the top of his game. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Lamberson’s literary approach is cinematic, bold, and an all-or-nothing bombastic explosion of thrills, chills, and heart-pumping storytelling."
~ Bob Freeman, The Occult Detective 

“With as much action-packed fighting scenes as Personal Demons, plenty of twists, some genuine scares, and a world where just about no one can be trusted, Desperate Souls is a surefire hit for anyone who loves cross-genre horror stories.” 
The Horror Fiction Review 

“There were also a few surprises that blindsided me to the point where I remember saying, “Oh my God!” out loud. The action scenes were exciting, well executed, and had me on the edge of my seat.”
Midnyte Reader 

“Dark fantasy fans will be impressed by this action-packed, gory, and witty read.“ 
Publishers Weekly 

“. . . the best piece that Lamberson has presented to his reading audience.”
~ Colum McKnight, Paperback Horror 

“Greg’s prose floods the reader’s senses with the gritty underbelly of the City That Never Sleeps. You don’t just read it—you practically smell it, hear it, taste it.”
Bloodsprayer.com 

“Gregory has figured out a way to grab the reader’s attention and not let go. . . . The novel had a life of its own, if you will. It managed to present itself as something fresh and never been done before.”
~ John Rizzo, Horrornews.net 

“. . . readers will get the creepy crawlies as they visualize the zombies. . . . Gregory Lamberson is one of the bright new stars in the horror world.”
~ Harriet Klausner, Midwest Book Review, “Klausner’s Bookshelf”
