Description

Once a mob enforcer, Isaiah Coleridge now works as a private investigator, but when a seemingly straightforward murder case pulls him toward a powerful patron, the investigation quickly stops behaving like ordinary crime. As clues lead into mysticism, hypnotic suggestion, fringe science, and the shadowy reach of a violent pagan cult, Coleridge finds himself confronting forces that blur the line between human corruption and something far older. Laird Barron’s distinctive blend of literary noir grit and cosmic dread turns the pursuit of truth into a study of power—how law, capital, and influence can corrode survival from the inside out. With its bleak momentum and unsettling atmosphere, *Worse Angels* delivers a high-stakes descent where every answer feels like it comes with a cost.
