Dawn Of The Demon
Forged from darkness, driven by rage…
Fifty years ago, the Demon of Cold Christmas carved a path of horror through a quiet town, leaving behind a trail of butchered children and broken families. Then, just as suddenly as it began, the slaughter stopped. No killer was ever found. No answers ever came. The legend was born…and it never died.
Now, beneath a cursed blood moon, the nightmare is rising again.
Izzy is missing, held captive by a shadowy cult hellbent on awakening the ancient evil that once stalked the woods. With time running out, her friends retreat to a forgotten Cold War bunker, joining forces with Dr. Foster, a reclusive occult expert with secrets of his own. But trust is fragile, and darkness wears many faces.
Haunted by visions she can’t explain, Meridia races to uncover the truth, even as her growing powers threaten to consume her. Meanwhile, sadistic killer Silas Grady lurks in the shadows, hunting with a purpose no one yet understands.
All roads lead to Crooked House, the decaying heart of an old evil. But is it salvation they’ll find there…or damnation?
In a town steeped in secrets and stained with blood, some legends are more than stories. Some demons never die.
Will they stop the ritual before it's too late…or will they all fall to the Demon?
“It blows my mind how this series keeps getting better and better!”
“I was not prepared for the ending; it really disturbed me. Can things get any worse?”
“Full of twists and turns with the unnerving sense of menace running throughout it’s pages.”
“No longer a rollercoaster ride, this Masterpiece is akin to free-falling. Exhilarating and terrifying!”
