Running with the Demon is a novel that weaves together family drama, fading innocence, cataclysm, and enlightenment. It will forever change the way you think about the fantasy novel.
On the hottest Fourth of July weekend in decades, two men have come to Hopewell, Illinois, the site of a lengthy, bitter steel strike. One is a demon, dark servant of the Void, who will use the anger and frustration of the community to attain a terrible secret goal. The other is John Ross, a Knight of the Word, a man who, while he sleeps, lives in the hell the world will become if he fails to change its course on waking.
Ross has been given the ability to see the future. But does he have the power to change it? At stake is the soul of a fourteen-year-old girl mysteriously linked to both men, the lives of the people of Hopewell, and the future of the country.
While friends and families picnic in Sinnissippi Park and fireworks explode in celebration of freedom and independence, the fate of Humanity will be decided. As believable as it is imaginative, as wondrous as it is frightening, it is a rich, exquisitely-written tale to be savored long after the last page is turned.
