Allan and Coral seem to think so, since they call for an exorcism. Allan's father Thom believes his wife is wrong to think the ceremony has left Dean in worse danger. But if she's alone in seeing the terrors that are gathering around him, how desperate will her solution have to be? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Ramsey Campbell Special Editions.\u003c\/b\u003e Campbell is the greatest inheritor of a tradition that reaches back through H.P. Lovecraft and M.R. James to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and the early Gothic writers.
