    About this ebook

    See the feature film's premiere in October 2012 on Chiller!

    **********
    For eighteen-year-old Johnny Petrie, the dilapidated farmhouse in Maine meant a way out. When the letter arrived saying he had inherited an estate from a man he'd never heard of before, Johnny knew he could finally escape the hell of living with his religious zealot mother and drunken father. He didn't realize that the hell he was moving into would be far, far worse.

    The previous owner of the estate was Benjamin Conroy, a man obsessed with securing eternal life for himself and his family--even if he had to kill them to do it. Conroy's ultimate ritual, a perverse ceremony of blood and butchery, went hideously wrong, denying him the immortality he sought, leaving him and his family dead. But now that Johnny has arrived at the house, Conroy's spirit will have a second chance....

      The Demonologist was better, but not bad, anyway.
    • 4/5
      This is the first Michael Laimo book that I have read, and it has definitely left me wanting more of his work. So many writers fall short, leaving me feeling disappointed and with a resolve not to give them anymore of my money. But every once in a while a writer will come along that captures my imagination and my loyalty as a reader. With books like this one, I can see that Michael Laimo is quickly going to become one of those writers and his books are going to work their way into every nook and cranny in my house.This book was creepy, bloody, and well written - everything you need for a good horror novel.
    • 4/5
      A great read for any horror fan!
