THE BIBLE REPAIRMAN By Tim Powers (4820 Words)
Although the theme is black magic the setting is disturbingly real.
Vickery, haunted by the ghost of his deceased daughter from a botched exorcism, lives a marginal existence amid ghosts and occult dealings in a world where souls are commodities. His routine shatters when a widow hires him to rescue her living daughter, kidnapped by a cult leader practicing voodoo-like rituals involving dybbuks and soul-trapping. The mission forces Vickery to confront his past sins, including the murder that tainted his soul, and seek redemption through a perilous spiritual showdown.
