Nearhope

The Rise of the Demons

By: John Regan

Narrated by: Alan Turton

Felix has lost everything. On an ordinary evening, he meets a lonely figure at a service station who needs his help. How can Felix be of any assistance to this man, and where is he taking him? Plunged into blackness and faced with demons from his past, he must fight to help save the future of mankind.

Nearhope, a place populated by the damned, acts as a buffer between the demon’s realm and our world. But the first incursion has occurred. Can the chosen twelve and their leader return evil to where it came from? If they fail, He who reigns over all the darkness will claim the prize he has long sought, and the consequences for the human race will be devastating.

A fantasy horror, where the fight between good and evil rises to a new level and takes the listener on a journey to a place like Hell… only far, far worse.
