“Excellently written, with a twisted, spiraling, unexpected end that will leave you speechless.” ~ TBM Horror Experts
Detective. Angel. Victim. Devil.
A haunting tale of suspense, loss, isolation, contempt, and fear.
On November 1, 1951, war hero John Ashton was promoted to detective. His first assignment: find the district attorney’s missing daughter. But his only lead is Alena Francon, a high society sculptor and socialite committed to Bellevue’s psychiatric facility.
Alena has a story for the new detective. A story so outlandish John Ashton refuses to heed the warning. Alena admits to incarnating Golem, a demonic force, into her statue. A devil so profound he’s infiltrated every part of New York’s infrastructure. Even worse, he uses children to serve as bodily hosts for his demonic army, unleashing a horde of devils into our world.
When Alena’s confidant, Annette Flemming, confirms the existence of Golem, John is sent on a collision course where fate and destiny spiral into peril, and the future of the human race hangs in the balance.
The Devil Is In The Details!
Fans of The Silence of the Lambs, Clive Barker, John Connolly, old Stephen King, and Anne Rice will be fascinated by this edge of your seat psychological horror thriller with a story that tears out the heart of humanity and throws it on a slab to be feasted on.
// Review //
Golem is a brilliantly crafted horror novel perfect for fans of classic horror movies and books.
I could not put this novel down. The psychological horror in Golem is absolutely enthralling and terrifying all at once. Alleva does an excellent job of messing with the reader’s head and making them question themselves throughout their experience with the novel.
Not only are the characters realistic, but Alleva manages to make you feel like you are going through the terrors they are experiencing. Golem transports the reader to a chilling place that is perfect to enter when you want a terrifying experience.
I honestly cannot wait to read Golem again. It truly got me in the Halloween spirit with its mind-twisting plot and excellent characters.
Add Golem to your Goodreads shelf.
