A Symphony in Green — Rick Wayne

Months later, just as the boy's family is settling into a new community, another child is attacked, then another, each left as before, terrified and locked away inside themselves. With his father is unable to accept the truth, the little boy must stand alone against a predator no one even believes exists. That is, until an unlikely stranger - an exiled chef, sick and near death - appears with an electrifying revelation: about the child, his ghastly secret, and their connection to the gathering darkness that stalks the planet. "A Symphony in Green" is an occult novella about the possibilities of redemption and the fourth course of The Heretic Arcanum.
