Stone Cold Bastards

By: Jake Bible

Narrated by: Jeff Hays

Only a ragtag team of gargoyles stands between humanity and extinction.

Hell has released its ravening horde of demons, leaving most of humanity a puke-spewing, head-spinning mess of possession.

Humanity’s last hope? A team of misfit gargoyles - including a cigar-chomping, hard-ass grotesque - come alive and ready for battle during the End of Days. They guard the last cathedral-turned-sanctuary atop a bald knoll in the North Carolina mountains.

Gargoyle protection grudgingly extends to any human who can make it inside the sanctuary, but the power of the stonecutter blood magic, which protects the sanctuary, may not be enough when a rogue grotesque and his badly wounded ward arrive.

All the hounds of hell are on their heels. The last sanctuary is about to fall.

Critic reviews

“Misfit stone warriors against the demon apocalypse - a bloody good story!” (Gail Z. Martin, author of Shadow and Flame)

“Stone Cold Bastards is the most fun you'll ever have with the apocalypse. I'm not sure which I love more - the hillbilly-styled grotesques, the polite demons, or guts, gore, and mayhem.” (Diana Pharaoh Francis, author of the Crosspointe Chronicles Series)

Great concept but a little lacking

A great concept that was a little lacking in character development. Semi-spoiler alert: the ending has more than a hint of Deus Ex Machina. An enjoyable listen none the less.

Don't Go messing with a Grotesque/G

Amist the chaos of a post apocalypse world (?) lays a safe haven for the still remaining members of humanity after a horrible series of event. Among those G's Mordecai, a cigar chomping G who is thrust upon a journey for 1 thing, but soon evolves into something else entirely. Come read a book that is so good in my opinion that I gave it 4 stars.
