Forty years ago, a demon visited the small town of Devonshire, Illinois. And it never left. It waited, hidden amongst them all, pretending to be one of them, allowing its hunger for them to fester and grow. But now the demon will wait no longer. Its hunger can no longer be contained. It is up to high schooler, Joe Madsen and his friends to stop the creature before it can completely consume the town in flames.

The Waiting Demon

 Excerpt from Demons Among Us by Bucky Fasbinder and Bernard Ronstein, pg. 140 – 


 “Who’s to say he won’t ever come back, you know? All those other ghosts came back and I have to admit it chilled me a little to see them. But even so, I have to say that right now, I miss Harry MacGreggor most of all. He was my friend, and I looked up to him…” 


 Harry felt like he’d been struck by a train. He’d been hit hard before, many times in college as a linebacker, and he’d been tossed around by huge men as a wrestler, but that would be like comparing the sting of a bee to the blast of a shotgun. 


 With inhuman speed, the demon shot into him and slammed him through the doorway. Its blazing shoulder burned into his chest. For a moment the creature’s dark eyes bored into him and a feeling of pure despair swallowed him up, drowning him. In his ears, the faded screams of the spirits cried out.
