About this book

In a quiet New England town, three high school boys begin their flirtation with the occult and make a deal with the devil that ultimately unleashes a wave of demonic terror. Forced into wrenching self-appraisal, Paul DeKorte, the town minister, is confronted with the devastating truth: False and misleading teaching from his pulpit is Satan's key in bringing Valley Falls to the brink of destruction. Today greater numbers of adults and young people are being attracted to the occult.
