The Dislocated Man — Thomas Thompson

Domonic is a young man dislocated from reality, unable to distinguish the boundaries between dream, fantasy and the waking world. When he finds himself constrained to a hospital bed, the treatment the doctor gives him takes the form of a chess game, and the pieces on the board shape Domonic's story. Stepping through the game is the Watcher, a fallen angel who seeks to finally bring about victory for Samael, the Venom of God. But there are others in Hell who fight to maintain Lucifer's fragile hold on power. They would thwart the return of Samael, and so the Watcher must use Domonic himself, a man who has broken free from the prison of time to help turn the tables in his favour.
