A genuine “don’t read with the lights out” breakneck horror story with a central theme of overcoming vs. giving into your vices.  “But you can”t surprise a thing that lives inside you”

Explicitly detailed demon possession story with subtext about a failing marriage and giving into the nasty thoughts in the back of your head.

This book had great suspense, and the tension was top-notch. 

The author's imagery was almost artistic at times, which made the premise of the story that much more intense.
