Bacchus Death Collective Robert Shepyer

Bacchus Death Collective is the story of a Bacchic death cult of Manhattan elites that are trying to shift the world's current Judeo-Christian value system into a Roman/Hellenistic value system based on the Roman god of wine and hedonism, Bacchus. The nine members of the collective are doomed to a specific death in order to fulfill a prophecy that will usher in the Bacchic age. The prophecy goes: "One must die by fire, one must die by frost, one must die by poison, one must die by hanging, one must die by drowning, one must die by eating, one must die by being eaten, one must die by lust, one must die by suicide, one must survive and all must live in praise of Bacchus."
