Demonic possession is a messy business. It has been occurring since the beginning of recorded time. Only within the last hundred years or so has religion begun to see it more as a sickness of the mind than one of the soul. Prescribing pills instead of exorcisms has become the norm. It's better to be sedated than burned at the stake. As a result, troves of people receive Xanax instead of a holy cleansing.
Eli lives in the mountains of Alaska with his girlfriend, Kumi, content with his slice of life and the peace that comes with living in the middle of nowhere, until an evil entity begins to relentlessly pursue him. Unfortunately, Eli can't tell if something nefarious is after him or if he's just losing his mind. Thanks to years of horror movies and scary books, the lines between reality and fiction are blurred, making his dilemma that much harder to solve.
That's what the scary things that wait for us in the dark want, though, right? For us not to believe they're actually there. We're much easier to attack when living in blissful ignorance of reality.

So this one ended a bit (actually quite) abruptly, but I really enjoyed it aside from that. The only qualms I have are the story was written in a kind of weird third person omniscient style that got kinda confusing, part in his head and part judging him. And typos. And heroin mentioned like ten times. Other than that, definitely recommend!
