Back cover

Incantations of black magic unearthed unspeakable horrors in a quiet town near Providence, Rhode Island. Evil spirits – whose memory lived on in half-understood legends and vile superstitions – lurked in underground caverns . . . waiting to be unleashed.

Driven by the spirit of his dead ancestor, a master of the black arts, Ward delved into his forbidden past and resurrected the darkest evil from beyond the grave . . . a supernatural force so gruesomely relentless that it twists genius to madness and kills without offering the mercy of death!
