Writer of the Horrific and Surreal

Reviewer: Jason Warden

The Last Church takes the reader into a world where Peter Clement, a failing businessman, is about to lose everything his father worked his whole life for. His life, in his estimation, has been a complete failure, everything he tries fails until he comes across a book in the antique shop his father left him. He learns all of his dreams can come true, but as with any promise of that magnitude there is a price, the price is blood, A price he is more than willing to pay. Once the contract is signed everything he touches is golden,and although the book states that after twenty years the book must be passed on to another he finds a loophole in the contract and intends to become the devil himself.

With Christianity failing and the church itself dying out, only the last member of the Order of the Black Snake, an organization who has fought against the holders of this book, is left to fight against Clements will.

Pletzers does a masterful job of asking the reader to suspend their disbelief and takes them on a wild ride in which World War IV is about to erupt and Peter holds all of hell in the hilt of his dagger and intends to release it upon the earth.
This is a must read for anyone who loves horror, science fiction, or religious style fiction as it crosses all genres, but does so with style, leaving the reader blazing through the pages and wanting more.
