About Despair of the Seer:
In a masterful blend of supernatural horror and alternative history, “Despair of The Seer” transports readers to a nightmarish version of 1980s America where the Cold War has taken a terrifying turn. Through a barrier between dimensions, cosmic horrors from the mysterious Pithos Dominion have leaked into our world, transforming our familiar myths into terrifying realities.At the heart of this dark tale is Paxton Roald, a young man caught in the crosshairs of a monstrous regime. The Controller, a shadowy figure ruling over middle America with an army of flesh-eating super soldiers known as the revenant, wants Paxton for one reason: he’s the key to finding his father, Eugene Roald, the brilliant scientist behind the revenant program.When J’nou, the first and most fearsome of the revenant, attacks Paxton’s mother, the young man is forced to flee. But this is no simple chase—it’s a journey that will force Paxton to confront not only the horrors pursuing him but also the complex legacy of his father’s scientific work. Accompanied by his best friend, Paxton embarks on a quest for revenge that will test the boundaries between justice and vengeance, humanity and monstrosity.Set against a backdrop where government experiments have created unstoppable predators and cosmic horrors lurk just beyond our reality, “Despair of The Seer” delivers a pulse-pounding narrative that combines the government conspiracy elements of “The X-Files” with the cosmic horror of H.P.

Author Bio:
Animating and programming by day, at night Antonio Guadagno secludes himself in his dark library bunker. There, away from the rest of the world, he reads and writes fantasy, horror, and science fiction… with a little poetry, mythology, and thriller thrown in for good measure.
He is a lifelong geek and a devoted Christian, leading his wife and six children in their mutual journey toward adulthood. He loves a good dad joke and enjoys cooking his large family. Wait… sorry. Cooking for his large family.
His love of fantastic concepts, connected stories, friendships, and worlds where evil is truly evil has fed that voice in his head for so long it finally burst, releasing the ideas built up inside. Now this headless author has decided it’s your turn to be subjected to those ideas.
It’s time to open the Pythos Dominion.
