No one should play with the dead, especially when Raymond Faustanetti is around. For twenty-four years, the veteran cremator has burned bodies at the old cemetery; its a job he takes very seriously. However, not everyone shares his dedication to the deceased. His new boss, Everett Cochran, pompous son of the wealthy, new owner, doesnt get Ray at all and insists on aggravating his freak employee whenever possible. But the cremator wont back down. And that dark determination often creates sparks between them that rival the flames roasting the corpses. When an attractive girl named Alex wanders among the tombstones, both men are drawn to her. Ray refuses his primal urges to keep his haunted past buried. But nothing stops Everett who is determined to have her. With Dads money as bait, he seems to get his wish. Soon, a twisted relationship develops, and Ray senses impending trouble for the girl. All he wants is to be left alone, but circumstances thrust him into real life with every bit of evil that goes with it. As the demons of his past are reawakened, Ray must decide if vengeance is truly history or whether protecting the dead requires eliminating the living.

He doggedly pursues several leads uncovering some unwelcome family secrets, which threaten fatally devastating outcomes for many lives.
This book is stoned. This book is high. This book is the product of an illegal mind, the spawn of an outlawed consciousness. Separately these stories, essays, poems, and jokes don't mean much. So I cleaned them up, dumped them out onto paper, and then rolled up a big joint of words. And this is the result. It smolders with imaginative horror, mystical speculation, hyper-vivid dreams, disconnected humor, and nebulous memories. There are words all over the place, stray lines and ideas leading no where, weird scenes flaming up and then dying down, characters drifting in, and then stumbling out amidst swirling poems and rambling psychedelic thought-talk. That's why I call it The Book of Smoke.
Being a fiercely determined young lady who has always taken care of herself, Billie Jo was extremely surprised to find herself the victim of target practice for this insanely arrogant, completely revolting individual, who is obviously somewhat removed from reality if his current actions are any indication. Never in a million years would she have believed she would have let her guard down long enough to find herself here in this place with this person, fighting for her life, but unable to speak at all due to the duct tape and the gag he’d stuffed into her mouth. He’d already kicked her so hard, so many times, she was sure she’d lost the baby. Alex would never forgive her for allowing this man to kill their child. She prayed he would finish the job and end her suffering, but she knew in her heart that he wanted her to suffer further. After all, she hadn’t chosen him. In fact, she was completely repelled by him, always had been.
