A dual-timeline horror novel about an exorcist's legacy and a staged haunting.
This work examines how past violence echoes through generations. The narrative links the 1967 events at Weston State Hospital with the 1997 schemes of Adam Hill.

The later timeline reveals the financial motivations behind revisiting these horrors. The book relies on the tension between genuine occult danger and manufactured spectacle. It explores the cost of profiting from tragedy and the inescapable nature of familial bonds.
The narrative spans from 1967 West Virginia to 1997 Ohio. It draws on the tradition of amateur exorcism and references the Amityville haunting phenomenon as a cultural touchstone for profit-driven fear.
