The Demonologist

Professor David Ullman is among the world's leading authorities on demonology. Not that he's a believer. He sees what he teaches as a branch of literature and nothing more. When he's offered a luxury trip to Venice to be a consultant on a case study he accepts, taking his teenage daughter with him.Amidst the decadent splendour of the city, David makes his way to the address he's been asked to visit. What he witnesses in a tiny, dark attic room shakes him to the core. A man heavily restrained in a chair, speaking in tongues. Can he really be a living example of demonic possession? As David watches in horror, the man speaks in his dead father's voice, saying aloud a secret only David and his father knew. Terrified, David races back to his hotel to tell his daughter to pack, desperate to leave. But now he has the unshakable feeling that he is no longer alone... Deeply disturbing and utterly compelling, The Demonologist is a powerful tale of darkness and demons from the master of modern horror, Andrew Pyper.
