War can do terrible things to the hearts and minds of even the best of men, but for U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Tyrone Banks the senseless deaths and unnecessary violence in Vietnam have beaten him down and smothered the compassion and good that was once inside of him. Grief stricken and suicidal; the extreme guilt over the awful things he’s done pushes the young Marine beyond his breaking point until death feels like his only remaining option.
Rather than eating a bullet, Tyrone volunteers for Tunnel Rat duty hoping to finally find release but instead of his carefully planned honorable death, what the Marine finds down in the dark is a backdoor to Purgatory, a secret entrance into the afterlife where he’ll get one last chance to right all the terrible wrongs that constantly haunt him. It won’t be easy, though. Nothing worthwhile ever is. If Tyrone thought the things lurking in the jungle of Vietnam were bad, what’s waiting for him on the dark side of Heaven is worse.
Much, much worse…
"With THE DARK SIDE OF HEAVEN Rollo turns his considerable talents toward military horror and the result is as unique as it is impressive. Like nothing fans have read from him before, Rollo weaves a chilling tale of a young Marine straddling the thin line between horror and fantasy, damnation and redemption, and ultimately, life and death. Highly recommended for fans of both horror and dark fantasy."

"Rollo is the best new horror writer I have come across in years. if he continues to horrify us with his brutal and amazing tales of the macabre, then I believe we have a new master of horror on the rise."
