This Present Darkness by Frank E. Peretti
1.0
I remember really loving this book as a teenager growing up in the church. I'm re-reading it with a much more open mind, and I find that even in just the little bit I'm re-read that it feels hokey and too black and white. It's been full of clichés so far - a small town which used to be a bastion of glory is now rundown and full of demonic spirits. This is especially true because of the annual festival the town throws. But just how tangled up in small-town life are these demonic influences? Well, we're about to find out!
If it gives you any idea what kind of ride we're in for, the book uses the term "Oriental" to describe a person/angel. I'm also not loving the bias against higher education and Psychology in particular. And Marshall Hogan has just complained about a pastor being to into "saving the whales". Honestly, may not finish this book.
It has now also referred to something difficult as an "indian arm wrestle". If nothing else, the publisher should update to remove these racist phrases.
