Fiction
Fans of The Historian won’t be able to put down this
spellbinding literary horror story in which a Columbia
professor must use his knowledge of demonic mythology to
rescue his daughter from the Underworld.
Professor David Ullman’s expertise in the literature of
the demonic—notably Milton’s Paradise Lost—has won him
wide acclaim. But David is not a believer. One afternoon he receives a visitor at his campus office, a
strikingly thin woman who offers him an invitation: travel
to Venice, Italy, witness a “phenomenon,†and offer his
professional opinion, in return for an extravagant sum of
money. Needing a fresh start, David accepts and heads to
Italy with his beloved twelve-year-old daughter Tess. What happens in Venice will send David on an unimaginable
journey from skeptic to true believer, as he opens himself
up to the possibility that demons really do exist. In a
terrifying quest guided by symbols and riddles from the
pages of Paradise Lost, David attempts to rescue his
daughter from the Unnamed—a demonic entity that has chosen
him as its messenger.
