Night-child

by John Meyer

This chilling thriller tells the story of a young girl thrown into the mysteriously terrifying world of voodoo against her own will and the life-threatening, dauntless tasks needed to save her, no matter the cost.

Set against the bizarre backdrop of show business, a mother throws her young daughter into the terrifying world of voodoo as she seeks revenge on the father who adores his little girl.

Caught in a frightening maze of cabalistic rites and wanton sex, her body and soul are owned by her mother, and her mind and emotions are no longer her own.

Her father would destroy himself to save her, yet she is no longer a child at all, but a creature of evil, hurled into the horrifying realm of the devil himself.
