Dark Night of the Soul is the second book in the Tales of Blackwater, Texas series, and the follow up to book one -- Night of the Wolf. On Halloween in the piney woods of East Texas, most folks are thinking of football and trick or treat, but Chief BC Carnot, of Blackwater knows it is so much more, for nothing is as it seems -- certainly not in the sleepy town -- where the chief's friends all begin to see the angry spirits of this Texas town rise again. If it was not enough to deal with his new nature as a lone werewolf, BC has a dysfunctional shaman cousin, a spooked best friend and a complicated love life spinning out of control while every manner of ghost, ghoul, phantom and fiend is climbing up out of his or her grave to reckon some old score. All truths will be laid bare, and everyone's faith tested, and some will be laid low on this magical night. The day approaches. Dia de Los Muertos -- Day of the Dead? You bet, for the dead may just outnumber the living, if the boys of the Blackwater PD don't wrangle some souls.
