Summary

In "A Time of Terror," Douglas Morey Ford masterfully weaves together narrative and poetry to explore the psychological and societal turmoil of a nation grappling with existential dread. The book employs a fragmented structure and vivid imagery that reflect the chaos of contemporary life, drawing parallels with historical episodes of panic and fear. Ford's use of stream-of-consciousness techniques invites readers into the minds of complex characters, rendering their experiences both visceral and relatable, all while framing their struggles within the broader context of cultural anxieties prevalent in the 21st century. Douglas Morey Ford, a noted scholar in social psychology and literature, draws from his extensive background in human behavior to inform the thematic depth of his work. His research into collective trauma and its artistic representations serves as a foundation for the narrative urgency present in "A Time of Terror." Ford's personal experiences in tumultuous environments further illuminate his observations on fear's pervasive impact on individual and societal dimensions, enriching the novel's emotional resonance. This compelling exploration is highly recommended for readers seeking a profound understanding of fear's role in shaping both personal identity and collective consciousness. "A Time of Terror" is particularly suitable for those interested in contemporary literary fiction that challenges societal norms and provokes critical thought on the human condition.

    Say hello to Mike Lucifer, Spiritual Consultant. He’s back in town to take care of business. Unfortunately, when business is good, things must be very, very bad. 
 
After two years trying to run away from his past, Mike Lucifer’s back in his office less than ten minutes when a persistent young woman shows up asking for help: her boyfriend’s been possessed by a demon. 
 
That’s exactly the kind of mess that drove him from his hometown of Boston to a sunny beach—and the bottom of a bottle—in the first place. But there are some problems that even booze can’t drown, and while Lucifer may be no hero, his dwindling bank account provides a thousand reasons to take the case. 
 
No sooner is he back in the game then the complications and corpses start to add up. The boyfriend’s not possessed—he’s dead. The tech company where he worked is looking shadier by the second. And Lucifer’s client definitely knows more than she should…about everything. The deeper Lucifer digs, the more he wonders if whatever sinister entity lurks behind this case wants him to be the last to die…
