A failed exorcism unleashes demons in this modern horror novel by Thomas E Sniegoski.
The narrative begins with a publicity stunt gone wrong. John and Theodora aim to solidify their reputation, but the ritual fails catastrophically. Their television broadcast becomes a site of violence, allowing demonic entities to enter the world. Theodora loses her mind to these spirits, becoming a vessel for evil. John’s subsequent search for a cure exposes a conspiracy far larger than his personal loss. An ancient malevolence uses this chaos as a foothold to invade Earth. The story balances intimate marital drama with epic supernatural warfare, showing how one couple’s failure can alter the fate of humanity.
This work sits within the modern horror genre, specifically focusing on the intersection of television media and paranormal investigation. It reflects contemporary anxieties about public spectacle and supernatural intrusion in everyday life.

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Sniegoski effectively merges intimate marital conflict with global supernatural warfare, creating a tense narrative where personal failure triggers catastrophic consequences. The premise of a televised exorcism gone wrong offers a fresh take on traditional possession tropes by grounding them in modern media dynamics. While it lacks the atmospheric subtlety of gothic horror, it excels in pacing and stakes. This book is best suited for readers who enjoy contemporary horror with action-oriented plots and clear demonic threats. It may disappoint those seeking slow-burn psychological depth or historical settings, but succeeds as a thrilling entry into modern demonology fiction.
