John Sinclair - Episode 12

The forces of darkness are gathering. All they need is the soul of John Sinclair...Cascabel is a deformed creature who lives on human flesh - despised, desperate, and hunted. The Great Sourette is a failed stage magician at the very end of his life. When their paths intersect, a dark plan is set in motion, a plan that brings them to Samdon Isle, a small cluster of rocks near the coast of Scotland. Here, underneath the twisted ruins of a forgotten castle, lies a gateway to the underworld. All they need now is John Sinclair - their messiah. Only his soul can open the gate and unleash hell on earth...Detective Chief Inspector John Sinclair works for Scotland Yard's Special Division, an elite unit that deals with extraordinary cases. DCI Sinclair is a battle-hardened veteran of Afghanistan, a man who's been to hell and back. This time, he's not just fighting to save our world. He's fighting for his soul... John Sinclair is the reboot of Europe's longest running horror series. Originally conceived in 1973 and still running strong, the John Sinclair novellas are firmly rooted in the finest pulp tradition, true page turners with hair-rising tension, exquisite gore, and a dash of adventure. John Sinclair combines the dark visions of Stephen King, Clive Barker, and the X-Files with the fast-paced action and globe-trotting excitement of James Bond.A hero so suave and dashing, he makes James Bond look like a grubby detective sergeant, a plot that reads like it came straight from the great vaults of Hammer, and enough action and derring do to keep even the most ardent pulp fan smiling with glee...
