After a large storm, the small town of Hillside is plagued by mysterious events. Animal attacks in second floor rooms. Storms hanging over the town for days at a time, with no sign of letting up. People going missing without a trace. Others slowly going insane after witnessing events that are almost impossible to describe. And finally, a mysterious surge in the population of stray cats, who continue to be at the heart of every strange event. Stuck at the centre of it all are teenagers Rose Jackson, a sullen introvert who feels lost and abandoned by the rest of the world; Destiny Lane and Faith Fairchild, childhood best friends, queens of their high school, and tag team bullies; and Detectives Lowe and Matheson: partners and occasional friends, forced to rely on each other more often than they'd care to admit. Thrust together through an unlikely chain of coincidences, they will be forced to adapt to their new situation and form new alliances fast, or be left behind to fend for themselves. And as the fear and panic continue to spread, with no reason to believe that there is an end in sight, the only group capable of saving the entire town are faced with a difficult choice: Kill to save who's left, or die trying. ~~~~~ Dark, unpredictable, and sometimes tinged with a touch of humour, Demon Storm is a horror novel that's bound to keep you reading until the end.

The world is dying. Heaven and Hell have broken and collapsed, creating a post-apocalyptic landscape that is part purgatory, part platonic world of ideas, blighted by the horrors of the human mind. The sun lies dormant in the east, atop God's tower, while the west is plunged into darkness and haunted by all that lives there. There is no day and night cycle, nothing grows, nothing dies, nothing changes, unless magic is involved. Angels hunt creatures for their blood, to feed it to God so he can finish gestating. Demons kill and destroy aimlessly, their origins inexplicable and unknown. Stranger beings wander the ruins of what's left of the world. Humans need not eat or sleep, caught in a state between life and death. They cannot die or be born naturally, but they can be killed and they can be made. The few that survived with their sanity somewhat intact have locked themselves into warded cities, but their protections are feeble and often ineffective. The Order that united them is long gone, broken into factions known only by the sins for which they have fallen. The Houses that protected them are crumbling, falling into ruin as their members were culled down by angels and demons, as well as their own mad quest to save the world; the Pilgrimage, a vain attempt to steal into Eden and murder God himself. Soon, only the Scions will remain. Those that were left not due to merit, but because they were the last choice for being heroes. Those whose memories and minds are as damaged and eaten through as their world. Those who agreed to take on the mysterious Archons within their bodies and, through that contract, had ancient relics and rituals passed down to them. They converge onto a long forgotten neutral ground, trying to save themselves. A heroic journey through a nightmarish wonderland. A pilgrimage to God's tower, to make the world whole again. To cleanse the world of the horrors infecting it. To kill the God who will doom them all with his birth.
