The Land of Grace
By Mike Burrell
Genre: Fiction, Thriller, Horror
Looking like Elvis and sounding like Elvis are not enough for tribute artist Doyle Brisendine. Deep in his heart, Doyle wants to be Elvis. After performing in front of a wildly enthusiastic group of seniors, he realizes the absurdity of his fantasy and sees a dead end looming. Then he thinks he’s died and gone to Elvis heaven when a beautiful young woman takes him to a replica of Elvis’s Graceland. He first thinks he’s landed in some kind of amusement park staffed with actors playing characters from Elvis’ life, including some of Elvis’s relatives, the Memphis Mafia, and an impersonator who looks like Elvis in his last days. But he quickly learns that he’s in the midst of a zealous cult built around the worship of the King, led by a ruthless high priestess called Mama. Soon he discovers how close his dreams lie to his nightmares.
