The Gatekeeper by Vanderbilt Brabson lll
Joshua Dawson, a young minister and director of the local youth center has no clue his life will never be the same when he meets with a very desperate and distraught man, Carl Steadman, who arrives at Joshua’s office and tells a bizarre tale of a shape shifter, Desiree, who targets her victims for their souls. One bite from this demonized seductress and Desiree becomes an extremely addictive aphrodisiac, and once a consort; a man will surrender anything to continue seeing Desiree until there is nothing left to prove his devotion but his soul.
Joshua launches his own personal investigation of Steadman’s story. He follows Desiree to a nightspot, where he deliberately encounters her in the parking lot. However, this encounter catches Joshua totally unprepared for the unsettling witness of Desiree’s paranormal abilities. His basic instincts for self preservation scream from within to run from this woman as fast as he can and not look back, yet strangely he hears his own voice arranging a meeting with her instead.
Desiree agrees to meet with Joshua only if he comes alone. When the two meet, Desiree attempts to seduce him, but he successfully wards off her initial advances. However, hell hath no fury like a Desiree scorned. Desiree secretly launches an offensive campaign to seduce this young minister and destroy his relationship with Susan, his fiancée. Joshua launches his own offensive, enlisting the help of his father, Pastor Dawson and others to deliver this demonized seductress from Satan’s hold on her.
Inspiration for The Gatekeeper From The Author. The Gatekeeper came to me as I endeavored to write a gripping and unusual story about a young lady crying out from deep within and fighting for her very life. The Gatekeeper is the portrayal of this young lady, Desiree, whose attempt to escape her tragic childhood unfortunately has disastrous results as she seeks refuge from individuals who turn out to be members of a satanic group. Before long Desiree finds herself indwelled and in bondage to a very powerful demon who gives her the ability to shape shift at will and easily seduce very wealthy men by her physical beauty.
Tormented by constant nightmares and voices, Desiree discovers she is as much a victim to the powers of darkness as the men she victimizes. There seems to be no hope and escape for Desiree until she meets a nice looking young man, Joshua, the director of the local youth center and an assistant minister at his father's church. Nevertheless, the powers of darkness move Desiree to destroy Joshua through a series of deceptions and attempted seductions, but Joshua stubbornly refuses to give up on Desiree, and thus begins the age old struggle between good and evil and light and darkness, because Joshua is convinced Desiree can be freed from the dark entity which controls her life.
