Book description
For Mary Stevenson Crye, a beautiful young housewife, life had been
wonderful. Loving husband, two delightful children, meaningful existence
in a small Southern community. Then it all fell apart: with the sudden,
unexpected death of her husband, Stevie must struggle to earn a living
as a free-lance writer.
When her typewriter - the sole economic support for her surviving
family - breaks down, Stevie begins to receive demonic messages through
the machine, the prelude to a living nightmare of satanic emissaries,
ghouls from beyond the grave, and the revelation of an unrequited curse
over the Crye household.
For Mary Stevenson Crye, the nightmare is about to begin . . .
