Outer Demons

Finding an exorcist in the modern age is no easy feat.

Evelyn Peters is eager to discover everything waiting for her in life, until a near-death experience leaves her feeling uneasy. As the days wear on, so does her patience, leading to unexplained bouts of violence. Strange dreams bring ominous premonitions of a winged demon feasting on her soul.

What's a girl to do about a possession when exorcisms have been discontinued in all but the most hidden of churches? Desperate for relief, Evelyn fills up the car, hits the highway, and takes a terrifying road trip with a demonic passenger.
