The city's underworld ignites. Reeling from the attack on their territory, the old guard of the criminal syndicate known as "The Friends" declares war. To hunt the monsters who have invaded their city, they hire a young, ambitious gangster, Johnny Fava, who sees this bloody mission as his only chance to earn his place and live up to his father's legacy.

This next installment of "To Make the World Obey" follows two parallel hunts. As Johnny begins his investigation into the city's seedy underbelly, Detective Deborah Samson is forced to beat answers out of a rival pimp, only to find herself caught in the crossfire of a brutal gangland retaliation.

This extended release delivers the next hour of the narrative, a descent into the fractured world of organized crime and a desperate police investigation, where the lines between law, crime, and vengeance have completely dissolved.

Written, produced, and narrated by Derrick Heisey with immersive sound design, this multi-layered narrative weaves together detective noir and visceral horror into an unforgettable nightmare.

New installments of "To Make the World Obey" release every Thursday. New original horror stories release every other Wednesday on the Nightmares & Grief podcast.
