Johannes Cabal the Necromancer.

This is one of my favorite humor horror novels. A bit twisted, a bit unexpected. I just read it again after several years. I'd forgotten that it's also sad because Johannes Cabal is so lonely. But, how can he not be lonely? He's despicable. But, a genius. His brother, Horst, is smart, charming, strong, handsome and a good dresser. Why do all the good ones have to be vampires. Hell, have you ever tried dating a vampire? It's a draining experience.

The author, Jonathon L. Howard, says he got the idea from Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes, which we all know and love. Where does an evil carnival come from? Howard found the spot where the devil parks his carnival.

Hey producers, need an idea for a movie or streaming show? How about Johannes Cabal and his good-looking (though dead) brother?
