Demon of the Night

By: Darrell Case

Narrated by: Gregg A. Rizzo

As a child, Max Furman is abused at the hands of his mother. Numerous times, she tells him she should have smothered him when he was an infant. He is unloved and unwanted. The abuse and neglect deadens his heart. When his sister Katie is born his mother dotes on her the love he craves. His hatred for his mother peaks one afternoon when he is fourteen. As Katie is sleeping, he smothers her. His sister becomes his first kill.

As an adult, Max develops into a serial killer of children, stealing their mother's love. For eighteen years, he operates undetected, killing boys between the ages of four and seven. He buries their bodies where they are never found.

Then Max makes a fatal mistake. Yearning for recognition, he begins displaying the dead children. Now the FBI is on the trail of the one the news media has labeled, "The Ghost."

Seeking a place to hide he sees an ad in a Christian publication. Using a bogus resume, he becomes pastor of Waynesburg Baptist Church.

Angels Andrew and Antoine were created at the same instance. They became best friends and explored heaven laughing talking serving The Lord. Then came the rebellion. Each one chose a side. Andrew stayed loyal to The Lord while Antoine joined Satan's forces. After the fall, they became enemies sworn to battle each other for the souls of men.

Yet Antoine can never forget what he has lost. Nor can he wipe from his mind his future in the lake of fire. Antoine becomes Max's personal demon assisting him in all of his kills. Time is running out for Max and Antoine soon they will pay for their crimes.
