About the book:

In the fall of 1965, a young boy is savagely disemboweled in the presence of his friends at an abandoned Schuylkill County Pennsylvania coal mine by an unidentified creature. During the investigation, which follows, a Philadelphia Television reporter learns about a terrible legend, which surrounds the disastrous history of the mine, as told to her by a local eccentric old codger. She hears a tail about an 1895 mine disaster in which three coal miners were trapped inside the mine, about a mile below the surface. Legend says that one of the miners in an act of desperation, sold his soul to Satan in order to get revenge on the family of the man responsible for his being trapped there. She learns how the man was reported to have been transformed into an immortal soul-sucking demon that must remain trapped in the mine until he can gather ninety-nine souls for his master before gaining his freedom to seek his revenge on the decedents of the original mine owner.
How do you kill what can’t be killed? How do you stop the unstoppable? Welcome to a place where terror reigns, where unspeakable horror and demonic savagery is the norm; where lost souls writhe and struggle for a freedom that may never come. Welcome to Coogan’s mine; the home of Devil Dan.
Excerpt from "99 Souls":

The Mary thing continued to float ever closer toward Ferguson, his heart pounding so severely that he believed he might be having a massive heart attack. The Mary apparition’s lips had thinned, turned black and curled back into a sneer, its eyes covering over with a dull gray film, its flesh withering and oozing with festering sores.

One such pustule appeared on the forehead above the thing’s eye and burst open spewing a yellow-green puss, which oozed down the mottled skin into the filmy eye below. The thing’s fingers were sprouting long brownish, blackish yellow fingernails, which split open at the ends, the fingers wiggling slowly as if anxiously trying to grab for Ferguson. Maggots and worms crawled between the fingers. These rotting extremities were reaching out to him, reaching out FOR him.

Ferguson took another step backward, even closer to the mine. Just inside the mine the creature waited patiently, knowing that in just two or three more steps this Ferguson man would be his. Maggots began to emerge from the festering soars on the Mary thing’s skin as patches of gray flesh started to slough off its body, revealing white bone protruding from where the skin had once been. The creature’s left eye fell from its socket dangling by its muscles on her cheek as a patch of skin on the forehead above the eye slid down hanging in a flap revealing the white of the skull. Still, the Mary thing continued to advance closer.
