A powerful ally has gone insane and threatens to expose supernaturals to the entire world, damning the innocent and the guilty in equal measure.

For John Cook, the day all hell broke loose started like any other - sipping on a fresh, steaming mug of joe. Well, the blood might have actually come from a guy named Joe, technically speaking.

But figuratively speaking, John got caught with his pants down.

Because somewhere in a distant room illuminated by hellfire, a fierce enemy learned a terrible truth. Armed with the Spear of Destiny and power bestowed directly from Lucifer himself, a man is finally set to achieve his long-awaited revenge.

And the most powerful demon lord in existence has been summoned from the pits of Hell and given a target. Asmodeus will not stop until his master’s bidding is fulfilled, and a soul is claimed.

And a military force, armed with deadly silver rounds, has set a trap.

The clock is ticking, and it’s not the timer for John’s microwave burrito....

Tick-tock. Tick-tock, John Cook. The foundations of civilization are crumbling, and the only way to hold it up is to sacrifice a few pawns....

Even if those pawns are some of his closest friends.

Enter the Mouth of Madness and join John as he faces a truly impossible quest. Hopefully, he puts his pants on, first, but no promises.
