On Halloween night, following an unnerving phone call from his diabetic mother, Hale and six of his med school classmates return to the house where his sister disappeared years ago. While there is no sign of his mother, something is waiting for them there, and has been waiting a long time.
Written as a literary film treatment littered with footnotes and obscure nuances, Demon Theory is even parts camp and terror, combining glib dialogue, fascinating pop culture references, and an intricate subtext as it pursues the events of a haunting movie trilogy too real to dismiss.
There are books about movies and movies about books, and then there's Demon Theory- a refreshing and occasionally shocking addition to the increasingly popular "intelligent horror" genre.
The mythology of North America is a cultural treasure house, but many of these myths and legends are hidden away in various old and rare books. It would be difficult for the average person to track down and collect this material because the rarity of some of these books makes them hard to find and expensive. So this vast body of wisdom lies out of reach of most people… until now. We hope you enjoy this work as much as we enjoyed the 9 years of research and collecting that went into its creation.

Readers will discover the truth about murderers, serial killers, and bank robbers whose stories have become myths and legends.
