Includes...

The Curse of Cain: When a necromancer is admitted to Vilokan Asylum against her will, and she evokes the ghost of Cain's murdered brother, Abel, he'll have to do more than treat the patient... he'll have to confront the ghosts of his past, literally.

Razing Cain:After agreeing with the new Vampire Council to take on their newest batch of younglings, and help them tame their blood cravings, things quickly get out of hand at Vilokan Asylum. Dr. Cain will need more than a "blood suckers" support group to get a handle on the issue. He'll require the aid of Baron Samedi... of course, when the Baron is involved, his help almost always comes at a cost.

Cain and Angel: A fallen angel has a change of heart. Samyaza, aka "Sam," just can't stomach the big guy "downstairs" and his propensity for torture, fire, and all that devilish crap. But he's burned his bridges with the celestials, too. When Sam comes to Vilokan Asylum, he hopes Cain's experience with the guy "upstairs" can help him find his own path on the narrow road between the warring leagues of angels. But when the Archangel Michael is sent to arrest the "unfallen" angel, Cain must approach the Divine for the first time in several millennia to advocate for his patient.

Theophilus Monroe is a fantasy author with a knack for real-life characters whose supernatural experiences speak to the pangs of ordinary life. After earning his Ph.D. in Theology, he decided that academic treatises that no one will read (beyond other academics) was a dull way to spend his life. So, he began using his background in religious studies to create new worlds and forms of magic–informed by religious myths, ancient and modern–that would intrigue readers, inspire imaginations, and speak to real-world problems in fantastical ways.

When Theo isn’t exploring one of his fantasy lands, he is probably playing with one of his three sons, or pumping iron in his home-gym, which is currently located in a 40-foot shipping container.

He makes his online home at www.theophilusmonroe.com. Head over there and click the link at the top for a FREE BOOK! Theo loves answering reader questions—feel free to e-mail him at theophilus@theophilusmonroe.com if the mood strikes you!

Great read

This is the first book in the series and it did not disappoint. I love this series. World-building is exceptionally well done, and very descriptive it was just an incredibly well done job with a very unique spin not your typical werewolf story. Characters were very well developed so much so that you came to like and care about these characters. The plot and story line are well written, and is wrapped up into a clear and concise closing. The storyline follows the main character Cain yes that Cain the one that killed his brother because of jealousy as a result he is cursed to be a werewolf. The plot line is full of murder, mystery, and plenty of shifter, witches, vampires, and voodoo action, and it is set in New Orleans. This book is a page-turner full of twists and turns, and surprises coming around the corner it certainly kept me guessing. It also kept me up all night long burning the midnight oil, and I absolutely could not put this book down. I highly recommend this series if you love fast-paced action, thrillers, mysteries with a touch of the supernatural ok more than a touch, and anything to do with werewolves as long as you are not looking for a romance with sparkly vampires and hot studly shifters you won't find them in this book. There is an extremely slow burn romance very slow paced it will be interesting to see how he resolves those two characters in his next books, and what he has in store for his other characters. The main focus is of the mystery surrounding the events taking place, and solving it. I did not see the villain coming or the reason for the actions behind the actions. This is one author I will continue to keep my eye on, because he has proven to be a fantastic storyteller, and it is a good thing that he is extremely prolific so there is always a new book out if you can't wait until the next book in the series comes out which as I said before he is very prolific there's always another book coming out in the series oh did I forget to mention that there are actually three books within the same volume? If you can't wait to go on to the next book in this series then you can go on to another series that he has out and switch back and forth between the many different series he has published, but be warned some of these series are connected so if you don't mind being a little lost I say go for it, but if you want to know the storyline you need to follow the chronological order of the books in each series. Yes even the series are interconnected or at least three of the series are that I know of so far. To wait between the next book coming out though is extremely fast the wait is never that long. This author is very gifted and talented I'm so glad that I was able to find him, because he has given me hours and hours of reading enjoyment.

Dr. Cain is indeed the original Cain of the Bible, who killed his brother.
Several thousand years later, he’s still here on earth, a reformed soul who lives with the regrets of his past, while assisting other magicals with therapy and healing.

In book 1, Cain attempts to help Annabelle Voodoo Queen by admitting a querulous patient. Unfortunately Cassidy, the patient, is quite unhappy (but being possessed tends to create darker emotions) and she bring back Cain’s brother Abel and an assortment of evil minions. Once Cassidy breaks out of the asylum, pandemonium reigns and N’Orleans citizens are in peril and Cain must confront his past or everyone in his life will perish.

In book 2, after resolution and completion for Cain with much of the past, hopes for some down time are not to be. The Vampire council calls upon Cain for support and he reluctantly agrees to host some fledglings vampires (until their blood cravings are tampered down). Unfortunately for everyone Baron Samedi becomes involved and suddenly there’s a battle of life or death for everyone involved.

In book 3, Cain entertains angels. Samyaza has been a Watcher and an angel in Heaven, as well as downstairs with Lucifer’s crew. Samyaza approaches Cain in the hopes of intercession with Heaven to get him back in, but things change when He’ll shows up and wants Sam back, regardless of what he wants. The stakes have never been higher - and all three stories are told by master
storyteller Theophilus Monroe with humor, compassion and flare.

This has been a fascinating and fabulous read and I’m off to search for more stories in this series. Loved the underlying themes of remorse, regret, redemption and healing, good and evil, darkness and light.
Absolutely a worthwhile read.

The Curse of Cain (The Vilokan Asylum of the Magically and Mentally Deranged), my twentieth read from author Theophilus Monroe and the first book of a new series. Another well-written & enjoyable read/listen. I was given an Authors Direct copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. I also own the Kindle version and was able to read along while being read to. I look forward to my next read from this author and in this series. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018)

I have been wanting to read The Curse of Cain for a while now but kept putting it off for one reason or another. My thoughts after finally getting around to reading it are why did I wait so long? I wish I had read it sooner. The Curse of Cain is not the first book by Theophilus Monroe that I have read and it definitely won’t be the last.

I got my first glimpse of Cain in The Blood Witch Saga. I knew right then and there that I had to read The Curse of Cain and now. I had to know more about this man or werewolf that is called Cain. I loved that Cain came from the Bible. I loved that werewolves, vampires, and Witches lived together in the same world. I like that there is more than one paranormal creature in the story.

I love this world that was created for The Curse of Cain. I love all the characters, especially Cain. I can’t wait to dive into the next book The Mark of Cain in The Vilokan Asylum of the Magically and Mentally Deranged series. I can’t wait to see what more this world has to offer. I can’t wait to see what Cain has on his plate in the next story. I love the cover of The Curse of Cain it fits perfectly with the story.

I also liked that there is a place for younglings who have just been turned to go to stay safe. Vilokan Asylum is a place for these younglings to go to learn how to deal with just being turned. Vilokan can help younglings to hopefully one day be able to live in the world with humans without destroying the world and the humans who live in it.

I highly recommend The Curse of Cain to all fans of vampires, werewolves, Witches, and the paranormal world. Grab your copy of The Curse of Cain today and join Cain on his many adventures!
