The Demon's Call

“You want to know what it will be like if the demon takes a host? It will be as though the sun has gone out.”

The Demon’s Call is the first part of the Dark Places sequence. This exciting fantasy fiction taps into the deep core of folklore and legends that exist at the heart of the British and Celtic psyche. Elements of forgiveness and redemption are exposed to give the story more depth and ground it in reality.

A hundred years ago a demon broke through the boundary between the Unseen Realm and the Mortal World. One man sacrificed himself to bind it, but when the wards he conjured are weakened, the demon’s influence begins to be felt again. Believing in demons seems out of this world, but when Aidan Morgan’s best friend commits suicide, Aidan begins to question the truth behind ancient folklore. Confronted by the possibility that an external force compelled John to take his own life, Aidan is thrown into a world of supernatural forces. Fearing he will be the next victim he knows of only one person he can turn to for help. As the demon’s power grows its influence spreads, and Aidan is forced to confront his own past, as he and his allies race to prevent the demon’s final manifestation – but will any of them live long enough to be able to stop it?

“For as long as I can remember I have written stories in my head, creating encounters between heroes and monsters based around my own beliefs and personal experience with the paranormal. The story of Aidan, Gwyn and Eldritch is one that I have carried around with me waiting to find a home in which the ideas I had could develop. When my husband and I bought an old chapel in the foothills of the Cambrian mountains, the landscape lent itself to the story,” says Kim.
