Tojo Smith has a serious problem. He is the number one heel for a small wrestling promotion in Texas. He is also an earthbound demon and his mission is to inspire hatred in people. This is his service to the greater evil. But suddenly, the wrestling fans start to cheer for Tojo. He goes from the most hated villain of his promotion to the most cheered antihero. And no matter how loathsome his actions in the ring become, his popularity soars. When Hell notices this imbalance, Tojo is given an ultimatum: get the hate flowing again or be sent down into the fiery pits!
Genre: FICTION / HorrorTurning Face has become a popular horror/comedy (especially as an Audio Book ) and has been read by thousands of horror fans. It is currently featured in my GRUESOME collection which has done very well since its release a year ago.
March 23rd 1968
Tyler, Texas
Tojo stared sadly at the bloodied and ripped cat collar that sat on the breakfast table before him. His parents looked solemnly at him and clutched coffee cups, though it was nighttime.
"You promised me you wouldn't eat this one," Tojo complained softly. "Poor Mr. Whiskers the 6th."
"I don't know what to say, Tojo," Kelli offered.
"Honestly, we tried to resist this time, son," Darryl threw in. "But it's that damned demonic hunger of ours. It just grabs a hold of us."
Tojo gazed up at his parents. Though they had the appearance of a conservative middle-aged couple that had started a family a little later than most, they were still considered very young demons. But Tojo, even in the guise of an eight-year-old mortal, was very mature already. Sometimes he suspected he was wiser than his parents. Even intelligent demons were prone to give in to their impulses. Tojo was finally starting to realize that a pet was no longer a fair option; for him or the animal.
"I live a lie and wear human skin as a disguise," Tojo said. "I have to keep to myself. I have no friends. You guys can't give me any advice on being a human kid. And I can't even have a pet for companionship."
"We weren't raised on Eden," Kelli reminded him.
"We were born in the pit," Darryl said, grimly. "And we were damned lucky to survive. Wild demons have a tendency to dine on any young they can catch."
Tojo rolled his eyes, recognizing his father's version of the walking-ten-miles-uphill- in-the- snow-to-get-to-school speech.
"We can get you another cat," Kelli suggested.
"No," Tojo said firmly.
