Crimson Spear: The Blood of Cu Chulainn
Frost's next novel, Tain, is the first in a two-volume collection involving the tales of Cu Chulainn, a character from Irish mythology. Tain, along with the second volume, Remscela, were combined into a single volume, titled Crimson Spear: The Blood of Cu Chulainn.
Crimson Spear by Gregory Frost
The books combine theology, history, and mythology to recount the Celtic tale. In The Pure Cold Light, Frost presents readers with Thomasina Lyell, a journalist who uncovers a secret about mega-corporations' quest to take over the world. Frost's next novel, Fitcher's Brides, is perhaps his most critically acclaimed. In the original legend, women are wary of marrying the wealthy Bluebeard because his wives seem to disappear. When he finally marries a young girl, he warns her not to open a secret closet with a special key while he is gone away. Curiosity gets the best of the young girl and she peeks into the room, only to discover the bodies of Bluebeard's murdered wives.
In Frost's retelling, Reverend Elias Fitcher convinces people that the world will end in , and that he alone can lead them to heaven if they join his utopian community Harbinger.
The charismatic Fitcher takes Vern as his first bride, followed by Amy, and each in turn vanishes within Harbinger. When Fitcher finally weds Kate, she knows it is up to her to expose Fitcher as the monster he really is.

Comprised of fourteen short stories, the collection features such pieces as "Madonna of the Maquiladora," which tells of a giant corporation that manipulates society via religion. The story "Collecting the Dust" features a young child who struggles to thrive in an unhappy family. Other stories, such as "Touring Jesusworld" satirize religion, featuring a theme park devoted to none other than Jesus H. He is also active in the Interstitial Arts Foundation.
