Big John

A 258-pound teenager named Big John from Los Angeles has a ravenous appetite for bad food. Eating it is the only thing that stops the warmth and tingling in his hands. The only problem is his dream girl, Maggie May likes dream guys. One day, John and his crew, The Zoo Crew, wander into a Madame Bernadette’s Fortune Telling shop in Venice and the psychic gives John the key to winning Maggie’s heart, but when he starts to get what he wants, he finds he no longer wants it.

Big John Hoover and his wife Angela have just moved to Key West from Big Sur, California, for John to pen a book. But John has traded his bad food addiction for Cuban coffee, rum, and cigars. Out of the blue, he gets attacked in his sleep by a shadow being, which sends him and his wife running to a Voodoo Queen for help. Meanwhile, Maggie May flies down from Vermont for a dose of sunshine, staying with her friend Hank Thomas. Everyone is seeing ghosts and John must figure out how to protect himself and his wife before it's too late. Will they see the light before Halloween eve?

The third book in Tate’s Big John Series picks up where Big John and the Island of Bones left off, with Big John Hoover driving a hauling truck to LA with a mysterious companion he picked up outside Key Largo, Florida.

Join Big John Hoover for a wild and invigorating journey through the labyrinths of the mind in this trilogy written by Duke Tate.
