The Witch and the Priest of Lies

John Baldwin Large, a professional musician and chaplain, presents The Witch and the Priest of Lies. This narrative centers on Julie Bernard, a high school psychologist in an old New England town. Her life shifts after she witnesses a satanic ritual at a Native American holy site through her dreams. The ceremony ends with worshippers butchered and an inexplicable horror unleashed upon the community. Julie must confront an ancient struggle between good and evil while uncovering secrets about the town and her own past. Large draws on gothic and supernatural traditions to explore these themes. He uses his background as a singer-songwriter and religious leader to frame the story. The book suits readers interested in psychological horror rooted in specific local legends. It may not appeal to those seeking fast-paced action or non-fiction accounts of real rituals. Large lives in Massachusetts with his wife and two cats. His dual role as an artist and chaplain informs the tone of this work. The narrative does not rely on complex academic theory but focuses on personal revelation and supernatural dread. Julie’s journey is one of confusion turning into clarity about her connection to the events. The story remains grounded in the quiet setting of New England, contrasting domestic normalcy with dark occult practices.
