“Psefisato” by Philip Hemplow is a wild and inventive journey into the realms of demonic possession, political intrigue, and apocalyptic machinations. The story kicks off with a bang as Freddie Lloyd, our protagonist, is thrust into a bizarre situation at the Ministry of Defence. The Defence Secretary, Aubrey Prentice, seems to have become a vessel for the demon Forcas, showcasing his supernatural powers by levitating and telekinetically torturing a captive. The narrative takes unexpected turns as Freddie, tasked with managing this peculiar situation, finds himself caught in a web of political maneuvering and paranormal chaos. The fusion of demonic possession and political drama is a unique and compelling premise that keeps the reader on the edge of their seat.
The character dynamics add another layer to the story. Freddie’s reluctant involvement in escorting the possessed MP to the USA, where an evangelical billionaire awaits, introduces new dimensions of suspense and intrigue. Dale Horten’s desire to bring about Judgement Day for personal gain adds a chilling element to the plot, creating a tension-filled atmosphere.
Hemplow’s writing style is engaging, combining elements of horror, political thriller, and supernatural fantasy. The author skillfully weaves together these seemingly disparate genres, creating a narrative that is both unpredictable and captivating. The scenes inside Horten’s spiritual fortress, a former missile silo, enhance the sense of impending doom and add a cinematic quality to the storytelling.
The book successfully balances moments of tension with flashes of dark humor, offering a unique reading experience. The protagonist’s journey and ultimate sacrifice in averting a global catastrophe provide a satisfying resolution to the intricate plot.
