The first three books are currently available: The Devil and Preston Black , Hellbender , and The Revelations of Preston Black . The next installment, All Saints , is due out in February 2018. Hellbender was Jason's thesis novel for Seton Hill University's Writing Popular Fiction Graduate Program , where he is now a mentor and guest lecturer. The novel won the Arthur J.
