A nightmarish battle that tests sanity…
Homicide Detective Marion Paul, on a quest to discover why his brother spiraled into endless madness, steps into an obscene world of witchery and Satanism that plagues Small Town America, where the demon woman, Terra Drake, orchestrates the murders of its citizens and the enslavement of their children. The trail of blood and death traces back to Biblical times, and her hand has touched the most notorious of serial murderers throughout history.
Marion, having seen the worst of human nature, rushes headlong into her cult of witches and a wolf-beast for the ages. He is against odds where there is no defense, not by gun, knife, or fists, a nightmarish battle that tests his sanity and entraps his family. Should he lose this cat-and-mouse trial of wits and courage, everyone he loves will surely die.

“Terra’s Sabbath sets up Dean Patrick’s trilogy for an eagerly anticipated final.”
I previously reviewed author Dean Patrick’s novel, “The Lady Mephistopheles.” It introduced Terra Drake, a beautiful demon for the 21st Century. The protagonist — her prey — Steve Paul fought a valiant but doomed effort againts her, hampered by personal, destructive vices that Terra Drake exploited. The sequel — part 2 of a planned trilogy — has been released, and “Terra’s Sabbath” is a superb dark horror literary work. Terra’s main opponent in this novel is cop/detective Marion Paul, and yes, he’s Steve’s brother. Marion Paul is a tougher adversary for Terra, but what he encounters in battling demons more than once has him struggling to retain his sanity. The opening passages in the novel provide a bizarre frightening, very descriptive ritual that includes a child sacrifice. Readers learn more background on Terra Drake, her past, her original name, and exactly why she is in the 21st century gathering followers. She and her allies destroy both souls and contemporary civilization.
“Great ending.”
I am loving this series so far. This book had a particularly good ending, and I can’t wait for the third!
