title: The Blood Decanter
author:  A.L. Mengel 
description: When A.L. Mengel and Parchman's Press, LLC published "Ashes", new ground was broken in supernatural storytelling. A.L. Mengel's writing has been called "Mesmerizing" and "Lush and Descriptive". His protagonists are typically angels and demons, and are frequently on a journey of self-discovery or transformation. The novels address many social issues - bigotry and intolerance, violence, alcoholism and mistaken identity.
