Demon, Judgement Day

From the author of The Plague, Judgement Day comes the sister book, Demons, Judgement Day.

Where does it start? A little want or need as a child that slowly grows into desire. We are all human and we all face the reality of the imperfection of being. Desire comes in many forms. For some, it's narcotics, an artificial high while fully knowing that the high will bring an equivalent low. That low conveniently providing the need for the next high. For some it's food. While they are fully aware that every bite takes them closer to their end, they are compelled, driven for the next mouthful. For others, it's games of chance. They find their fix in the cards or the roulette wheel. The thrill of the game. The challenge of all or nothing only to find that the house always wins. Then there are those who find sex. Not in its basic, natural form but in a perverse way that is only satisfied in its most extreme manner.

Ultimately, most people find a way to manage their desires as they grow. They recognize the demon within them; battle it and contain it as best they can. Then there are those that are simply unable to manage it and thus become victims of their demons. These demons lurk constantly just below the surface, even for those who are able to contain them. What would it take for them to grab control?
