Fifty years ago, Father Leo Bonaventura, a young exorcist, cast a demon out from a young boy in Central America. The demon, Asmodeus, vowed revenge. Now the demon has returned, in the same town where Bonaventura is a retired priest nearing the end of his life. In a series of not-so-coincidental events, the possession of a young girl brings together an unlikely group of people, all of whom are linked in their pasts in some way: A group of paranormal investigators, including twin psychics. Robert Lockhart, a defrocked priest with a dark secret that only the twins know. A father whose dead wife was a college girlfriend of Robert' s and once conjured an evil spirit with him through a Ouiji board. Now they must all join forces and help Father Bonaventura rid the town not only of Asmodeus, but also the plague of poltergeists that have followed the demon into our world. AUTHOR: A life-long resident of New York' s haunted Hudson Valley, JG Faherty grew up and still lives in a small town filled with Revolutionary War graveyards and battle sites, haunted roads and houses, and UFO sightings, all of which definitely influenced his writing. He is the author of nine novels, eleven novellas, and more than seventy-five short stories, and has been a finalist for both the Bram Stoker Award (The Cure, Ghosts of Coronado Bay) and ITW Thriller Award (The Burning Time).
"Strap in tight for JG Faherty' s THE WAKENING-it' s a wild ride that spins through forty years of demonic possession, giving the traditional ' good versus evil' a 180-degree twist of the head when the saviors aren' t so saintly, and the demon draws the characters in like moths to a flame that turns out to be a blow torch. Told in a countdown style that' s effectively nerve-jangling, there' s lots for horror lovers to chew on. " -- Patricia V. Davis, author of THE SECRET SPICE CAFE trilogy and writer/producer of Lyvia' s House.
