Blood and Scriptures

They called him a monster. He called it salvation. From the shadows of 1980s Philadelphia, amidst the turmoil and devastation of a city ravaged by the drug epidemic, emerges Derrick-a man caught between two worlds, driven by vengeance, haunted by trauma, and bound by an unsettling faith. Blood & Scripture plunges into the depths of Derrick's mind through the pages of a forgotten journal, stained with confessions too dark for daylight and truths too disturbing to ignore. Inspired by chilling, real-life unsolved murders, this imagined confessional memoir delves beyond the headlines, exploring the complex psyche of a killer who believed his brutal acts were justified by divine decree. Each murder, meticulously documented, intertwines with Bible verses, cryptic poetry, and haunting reflections, painting a disturbing yet captivating portrait of a man convinced he was cleansing his community of evil. But as Derrick's violence escalates, so does the internal battle between his spiritual convictions and the insatiable bloodlust consuming him. Blurring the line between sinner and savior, prophet and predator, Blood & Scripture forces readers to confront uncomfortable questions: Can redemption ever truly be achieved through violence? Is forgiveness attainable once innocence has been lost to the edge of a blade? Prepare to descend into a gripping narrative where salvation and damnation intertwine, and where every page challenges your understanding of justice, faith, and humanity itself.
