Synopsis:
Cassidy
is a young tattoo artist living in the Little Five Points neighborhood
of Atlanta. She’s always suffered terrible nightmares, and sometimes the
hideous creatures seem to follow her out of her dreams and into her
waking life, though she’s the only one who can see them. Drugs and
alcohol can blot them out, but never entirely chase them away.
When a demonic cult begins to take control of the people in her life, including her younger brother, Cassidy discovers that the unseen world of monsters is very real. She can no longer avoid it. To protect those she loves, she must accept her own hidden supernatural talents and face the forces of evil before the sinister cult achieves its twisted goals and casts the world into darkness.

GUEST POST FROM THE AUTHOR
Demon-Summoning
Do’s and Don’ts
So you’ve cast a circle and you’re ready to bring an
infernal spirit into your home for a visit.
Or are you? Summoning demons
takes care and consideration—it’s nothing to jam in between doing the dishes
and catching the new episode of Walking Dead.
These simple tips will help you put together an exciting
evocation, without all the messy embarrassment of getting your soul ripped from
your flesh and devoured.
DO offer a blood sacrifice. Your guest has traveled across endless
darkness from the lower pits of Hell and will be expecting a snack. Chicken or lizard blood will do nicely for a
lesser spirit. For an archdemon, you’ll
want to sacrifice a human being instead—anything less is considered rude. Virgins are still preferred, but no longer
expected by more modern demons. Finally,
an activity you can do with that annoying neighbor you’ve always wanted to
eliminate from the earth!
DON’T call up the wrong kind of demon. Incubi and succubi will arrive with certain
expectations, because these unholy hornballs only have one thing on their evil
minds at all times. If you’re not ready
for a swingers’ sabbat, avoid them. If
you do summon them, you’re going to need a little more protection that the
typical enchanted circle provides—the beasties get around. Also avoid gluttony demons, because these
corpulent creatures not only look like disgusting mountains of flab with
enormous mouths, they’ll also destroy your snack bar and leave an unpleasant
flatulent odor that takes weeks to remove from your carpet.
DO be polite.
Powerful demons resent being summoned by mere mortals, but minding your
manners can go a long way towards creating a more pleasant evening. When you say, “I bind thee and summon thee,
foul Mephistopheles!” and the enraged horned demon appears in a flash of fire
and brimstone, don’t forget to add, “Thank you!”
DON’T expect them to bring wine or a hot dish. Again, they’ve come a long way and can’t be
expected to carry host gifts up from the abyss.
Also, demon food tends to be rotten and vermin-infested, so how badly
did you really want that casserole, anyway?
DO remember to take pictures! Remember, the only reason to do anything
extraordinary in life is so you can brag to your friends on Facebook. A picture of you and Beelzebub with his host
of flesh-eating flies will totally shut up that one friend who’s always
bragging about the time she met Colin Farrell on an airplane.
DON’T forget to banish! If you don’t send that demon right back to
Hell when you’re done, it may move onto your couch and stay there for
months. Demons don’t pay rent, they
don’t do chores, and they never, ever give up control of the remote. They will, however, watch home shopping
channels twenty-four hours a day and max out your credit card to ordering
useless knickknacks. They won’t take
subtle hints to go home, either, no matter how many you drop—you have to order
them out. Exercise your right to
excorsize!
Following this list is sure to make your demonic encounter a
more successful one! When you summon
horrific spirits from the fiery underworld into your living room, you don’t
want it to ruin the rest of your weekend.
