The Demon of the Shadows
*The Demon of the Shadows*

When his ex-wife, Margot asks to meet for dinner, Nick's life had long been
in a downward spiral. Plagued by hallucinations and voices that he
attributed to his rather liberal use of alcohol, he was soon to discover
something far more sinister has been at play. Through brilliant research,
Margot had discovered that both she and Nick were possessed by a demon
known only to a seventeenth century Indian tribe. She tells Nick of how the
creature slips unnoticed through time and space and orchestrates its
victims to enact hideous acts of violence upon loved ones and neighbors and
that she and Nick are being beckoned. Its calling is inexorable, its powers
of illusion commanding. Their only hope to break the spell is an obscure
tribal rite discovered by Margot with the help of a discredited college
professor and a tribal medicine man. But, before they can fully enact a
plan, Margot disappears with their daughter Marissa, lost in the autumn
festivals of Clarion. Nick follows, only to fall into the creature's trap
where, in a pitch-dark railroad tunnel, he makes his final stand against
the beast.

About the Author

*Ronald Joseph Scala* grew up in western Pennsylvania on “Poe” Drive,
hence a lifelong interest in horror fiction.

The pivotal event that transformed him from an avid reader to an aspiring
writer occurred in College. Ron came upon an abandoned barn littered with
the remains of slaughtered animals, an ominous scene that became the focal
point of this work.



Ron makes ends meet with a day job as a Radiation Physicist in Ohio where
he lives with his wife and children. Like the Yin and Yang, Ron balances
the rigorous logic of physics with the abstract, imaginary world of horror
fiction.



Sidebar: The fictional fiend in “The Demon of the Shadows”, Ouintan Mantua,
has nothing to do with Ron’s current hometown of Mantua, Ohio. This is but
a strange convergence.
