Answer 1

Summary :
In a peaceful Vermont courtroom humanity will be called to trial by endless evil. Ancient and implacable - armed with sensuality, delusion, and horrible death - it will join itself to human weakness in an unholy alliance. Against it stand on imperfect human beings, caught in a world-spanning struggle in which they have everything to lose - for all of us - and only human strength to help them.

Review 1:
This is the stuff that reading is all about. Every book should be like this book. John Farris is in so many ways better than anyone else. He is in every way equal to King. I used to read him a long time ago. I would borrow his books from the library, you know the old hard back copies that were almost going to pieces. Funny to think of all the people before me who stayed up late at night with that very same copy of the book reading the very same pages, licking their index fingers and turning each page with such anticipation because that's what a John Farris book will do to you. It will cause you to bring home a dilapitated copy of a book that is probably infected with all manner of disgusting germs from hundreds of peoples' saliva, and knowing this full well you will still bring this book to your bed and enjoy every minute of OCD anxiety it causes you because John Farris is THAT good. Love this and every other John Farris book i have ever read. But this one was by far the best and definitely on my top 10 best horror of all time, and i have read a lot!

Review 2:
A demonically possessed young man commits a horrible murder, or the spirit controlling his body does, and now the forces of darkness want the boy taken to trial. Anyone that stands in its way is destroyed in rather gruesome and disturbing ways. Although the book goes way over the top, would you believe on unfortunate soul being dispatched via the commode?, the book never becomes silly. It remains a suspenseful and scary ride to its harrowing conclusion. Highly recommended.

Review 3:
This is my first novel by John farris I read. I did see The Fury years earlier,so I decided to try reading one of his novels. I can honestly say it was a fun read, lots of gore and physical descriptions of the evil events. I must also add that Farris does like to put in alot of sex, and can be pornographic at times, I didn't expect it from a horror novel, but what the heck it was still fun. If you liked THE EXORCIST This would have been a worthy companion to that story.
IN A NUTSHELL: Guy becomes possessed by a ruthless spirit, guy gets arrested and goes to court for murder. Now the spirit wants to prove in court that he legally exsists. How you ask? By putting on a "Demonic Show" for the Jury. This is when it gets wild, thats all I'll say. ENJOY!
