The Demonists by Thomas E. Sniegoski

5.0

I like scary movies and scary books, but they need to be honestly scary, not just gratuitous slasher blood and guts muck. Sniegoski scared the crappe out of me many times as I read this; definitely horror way more than UF. Cringe-worthy horror of the finest kind. Vivid wording that made me pretty much gag in reflex. If I could draw, I'd be able to recreate on paper the demonic creatures Sniegoski creates with words, so meticulously are they described. Not boring meticulous...more like *gack* want-to-kewp-up eloquent.
John and Theodora are hosts of a paranormal investigation television show and one night it goes horribly wrong. That is the first domino in a cascade of events that are seemingly disparate but are tragically tied together.
Ancient cults, paranormal hunters, government agencies, all find themselves in the thick of evil.
Superbly written and I can only hope that there will be a next in the series.
Definitely recommend.
