On Halloween night, following an unnerving phone call from his diabetic mother, Hale and five of his med-school classmates reutrn to the house where his sister disappeared years ago. While there's no sign of his mother, something is waiting for them there, something that's been waiting a long time. Written as a literary film treatment, Demon Theory is equal parts camp and terror, combining glib dialogue, fascinating pop culture references, and an intricate subtext as it pursues the events of a haunting movie TRILOGY that turns out to be all to real.
After reading Jones's "All the Beautiful Sinners" I was compelled to try another. This one is different, in a haunting sort of way. I put it down three times before I finished it, but was glad I did when I finally did finish it. Remember, it is written as a film treatment (so you get the perspective and set up of a script) and it is the 'vision' of three of the characters. If I had to label it anything, I would call it a "metaphysical mystery story for the pop culture genre enthusiasts"
