Stellar review

"Daniel P. Coughlin terrifies me. Not his writing. Him. He's scary. But you can tell it through his writing. He writes stuff that's scary because it's too true. And too human. Do we really all want to know that, underneath our creepy crawly skins, we are the creatures that Dan would make us out to be? Of course we want to know. In fact, once we pick up a Daniel P. Coughlin book, we can't put it down. We dare not put it down. We must turn the pages, faster and faster and faster, and get through it and then slam the damn thing down. And wipe our brow and have a drink and thank our lucky stars for something, anything, maybe just for being alive. And then we count the days until the next Dan Coughlin book so we can start the process all over again. Thank god he writes faster than most of us can read. And what wonderful melodious slicing and dicing words he uses to weave his tapestries of human existence and the melodramas we foment and embrace. But, enough from me. Time to read Mr. Coughlin now."

Synopsis

On a hot August morning in 1980, Father Leslie Gardner is called upon to expel the viscous demon Sammael from a young, drug-addicted woman, Donna Shaney.  Father Gardner deploys his skilled trade of demonic warfare and the exorcism is successful. The demon Sammael is sent back to hell, but not before vowing to seek revenge.

Now, thirty years later, a strange and violent event occurs.  Sammael is finally allowed to return from the dark pit of hell.  Throughout the night, the demons vow to destroy, kill, and desecrate everything standing in their path to Father Gardner.  

With Sammael finally having the chance to seek revenge, the age old battle of good versus evil begins. But two questions remain; can Father Gardener find the strength to renew his faith, even after losing everything and remain victorious? And will there be death, for many...or a vile end for him...
