Book Overview

For more than three decades, bestselling novelist John Saul has been summoning macabre masterpieces from the darkest realms of his imagination. With each new book, his instinct for playing upon our deepest dread has grown only stronger and more sinister. He's never been afraid to push the boundaries of suspense and confront us with what frightens us most. After his father's untimely death sends fifteen-year-old Ryan McIntyre into an emotional tailspin, his mother enrolls him in St. Isaac's Catholic boarding school, hoping the venerable institution with a reputation for transforming wayward teens can work its magic on her son. But troubles are not unknown even at St. Isaac, where Ryan arrives to find the school awash in news of one student's violent death, another's mysterious disappearance, and growing incidents of disturbing behavior within the hallowed halls. Things begin to change when Father Sebastian joins the faculty. Armed with unprecedented knowledge and uncanny skills acquired through years of secret study, the young priest has been dispatched on an extraordinary and controversial mission: to prove the power of one of the Church's most arcane sacred rituals, exorcism. Willing or not, St. Isaac's most troubled students will be pawns in Father Sebastian's one-man war against evil-a war so surprisingly effective that the pope himself takes notice of the seemingly miraculous events unfolding an ocean away. But Ryan, drawn ever more deeply into Father Sebastian's ministrations, sees-and knows-otherwise. As he witnesses with mounting dread the transformations of his fellow pupils, his certainty grows that forces of darkness, not divinity, are at work. Evil is not being cast out . . . something else is being called forth. Something that hasn't stirred since the Inquisition's reign of terror. Something nurtured through the ages to do its vengeful masters' unholy bidding. Something whose hour has finally come to bring hell unto earth.

From J. Kaye's Book Blog

I've been a horror fan since the day of Jaws and The Amityville Horror. So whenever a horror book makes it to the New York Times Best Sellers list, I've got to read it. The reason is I'm chasing the boo factor. I just love those scare-the-pants-right-off-ya novels; and let's face it, John Saul's books ranks at the top.

From Start to Finish

This book dealt with different peoples lives, and sometimes that can be confusing, but not this book. I was captured into, once reading one chapter, I found myself starting the next one. I could not put the book down at least not for long. I wanted to read what happened in every chapter, until the end.The book kept me spell bound, and the ending was so good, that after finishing it, I could actually say I read a good book,...

One of Saul's best story lines.......

Saul's thriller is fantastic... It's a demonic-possession tale set in a Catholic school in Boston.

Two boys Ryan's age have vanished from St. Isaac, and a mystery begins. By the end of Ryan's first week at St. Isaac, one of the missing boys has been killed...
