The Commandments and "All Becomes As Wormwood" are now available at Fictionwise. They made the front page for New Horror.



The collection opens as Rev. Sutton Conway acquires a biblical artifact, which bears Hebrew-Phoenician script dated at 2500 years old. The script has been translated, revealing a copy of the Ten Commandments. The church encases the stone slab in a special display case. Conway discovers untranslated text on the back of the slab and sends the copied text to be translated. Strange things begin to happen among the members of the congregation. Ten stories, each formulated around a commandment, then unfold, followed by the conclusion story.

"Angeline Hawkes stands out as someone special... 'The Commandments' is a righteous testament to both faith and plain good storytelling!"--Charlee Jacob, two-time Bram Stoker Award winning author of This Symbiotic Fascination and Dread in the Beast.



While researching for a university assignment, Alex discovers that Chernobyl isn't the deserted wasteland the rest of the world believes it to be. He uncovers unrest and carnage in a population determined to unleash their vengeance upon the world.

"All becomes as Wormwood will certainly make a lot of techno-phobes and environmentalists out there squirm in their respective reading chairs.... Angeline Hawkes purveys the wasteland that is Chernobyl years after the meltdown and reports what she sees. Alex has permission to travel to the abandoned city to add some verisimilitude for a school report and perhaps take a few photographs. Alex discovers (after his motorcycle breaks down, of course), that Chernobyl isn't as deserted as the world thinks and it seems the city has one last, horrifying gift for the world."--HorrorScope

"Angeline Hawkes' imagination seems to tend toward a Lovecraftian-meets-George Romero-in-a-dark-alley sensibility."--Robert Butterfield, Necropsy: The Review of Horror Fiction

Congratulations, Angeline!


I purchased All Becomes as Wormwood, and while I was there I also got:


  • The Orb of Orion

  • On Dragon's Wings

  • The Wizard of Lairne

  • The Charmed Sword of Isgor


Now, my question is:
Since they are all part of the Isgor Chronicles is there any particular order they should be read in?
