When Darkness Ruled by Jim McMahon tells the disturbing and ominous tale of the beautiful and haunted Ann Miller, a nurse with the face of an angel and a serious demon problem. Derryville, Alabama, a newly built town in 1920, offers hope and a new life to those coming to fulfill its promise. The people moving there expected change in their lives but never imagined it would be brought on by a battle between Hell's minions and the forces of Heaven, with one of their own at its center. It seems an ancient evil that once assisted Delilah in the destruction of her lover, Samson, is again hiding behind the angelic face of a beautiful woman and is helping her settle an old score-one soul at a time. Together, she and the thing that possesses her prey on those who are willing to sacrifice everything for love. Written in masterful and blood-chilling prose, When Darkness Ruled is a book that will give you reasons to stay up late at night and then to sleep with the lights on.
