A near death experience transports Jamie Burroughs into The
Maze, a realm built by angels and demons and filled with traps and riddles for
those haunted by their mistakes.
For Jamie, The Maze becomes a terrifying journey through a world of darkness where his soul and the lives of those he loves hangs in the balance. With his family in danger and his soul in peril, Jamie is forced to reevaluate the kind of man he truly is as he struggles to escape The Maze before it’s too late.

Praise for
Jason Brannon
“Jason
Brannon shows us a place of reckoning and judgments, of creatures that wait to
ensnare us. The Maze is a novel of damnation and deliverance, of corridors
fortified with death and spirituality. I found a bit of myself in The
Maze." ~ Steven Lloyd, author of The Wooden Box
“From his
style, you’d think Jason Brannon was the dark double of Ray Bradbury. He cares
more about character and realism than most writers I’ve read and his plots flow
like well-orchestrated music. Indeed, Brannon’s writing has a classical feel,
reminiscent of the best traditional work in the genre, even when he’s going for
gut-wrenching terror and torture in-extremis." ~ Michael Arnzen,
International Horror Guild Award winning author of Grave Markings (Dell Abyss)
“Brannon’s
work reminds me of the glory days of The Twilight Zone, when it was in black
and white and carried bylines like Beaumont and Matheson. Often surreal,
sometimes disturbing and sometimes enlightening, there’s real substance in his
tales that few of his contemporaries can match.” ~ Mike Oliveri, Bram Stoker
Award winning author of “Deadliest of the Species”

The maze was complex and mysterious, and like snowflakes, no
two mazes were identical. Each labyrinth
was built from the blueprint of a man's life and tailored to fit his soul. Sins and virtues alike were included in the
architecture. Yet, in this case, the
transgressions were far more plentiful.
The
cobblestone steps lay covered in thick tangles of thorny vines. The air stank
of decay and decadence; the hallways were encrusted with black ice and sin.
Angels roamed the hallways with hammers and chisels, feverishly writing on the
walls. Some carved instructions for the tortured soul who would soon find
himself trapped inside. Others planted clues for his escape. Demons skulked in
the darker places and searched for hiding places to deploy traps. Others
sharpened weapons.
Only two outcomes awaited the man who
would soon be imprisoned within the walls of the maze. The angels hoped for
redemption. The demons hoped for death.
Men had stumbled in the darkness of
the maze before and given up their souls willingly in order to escape. Others
solved the puzzles within, realized the true potential of this place, and
became new creatures. Transformation was the key to freedom from this
particular prison. However, some never figured that out and stumbled in
darkness forever.
Asterion had a special role to play.
Inside these twisting, turning passageways, he was the law. Neither angel nor
demon had a stronghold here. The decision to escape the maze or wander in
darkness belonged entirely to the lost soul. The choice couldn't be forced. The
demons, however, always looked for an advantage. Often times they cheated,
going outside the maze to find a way to gain the upper hand. The moment the
minotaur heard flute song, he knew what they had done.
They had called for reinforcements,
and The Piper had finally arrived.
Asterion watched as imps hefted
pickaxes, pushed carts filled with rock, raised new walls, set snares, and
consulted the blueprint for the labyrinth to make sure all of the appropriate
sins would be included in the architecture. Conviction or destruction of the
heart depended on that more than anything else. As they worked, Asterion heard
them snickering to themselves. The demons thought they were clever calling in
The Piper. What the demons didn't
realize was that the angels snickered too.
Prayers were being offered up by the faithful, and their prayers were
being heard.
The war had begun.
