Conjuring the Demon

Sometimes, to end a curse, you have to return to where it began.

“Epically brutal and genuinely chilling, this one demands a standing ovation from all horror fans.”—Nick Roberts, author of The Exorcist’s House and Mean Spirited

2024
Howie Burke swore he’d never go back to Newport after the childhood murders that shattered his life. But twenty-five years later, a desperate call from his mother drags him home—and straight into the horrors he thought he left behind.

The town feels wrong the moment he arrives. Old ghosts lurk in the shadows, and something far darker has been growing in his absence. The secrets he and his childhood friends uncovered were only the beginning.

1978
Jessica and Henry Black move to Newport searching for a fresh start. For Jessica, it’s a chance to escape her fanatical upbringing and finally choose her own path—but the town offers a new kind of faith: one built on secrets, sacrifice, and blood.

As the townsfolk take a chilling interest in her, Jessica begins to understand the truth: she isn’t just welcome here.
She’s wanted.
She’s chosen.
She’s necessary.

Two timelines. One curse.
And the only way out… is through the coven that began it.
