  Lucifer by Moonlight - A Modern...

  According to ancient scripture, Lucifer was cast out of heaven as a result of his disobedience, gaining freedom for mankind in the process. In Spain, local legends tell that the fallen archangel appeared in an earthly body, thousands of years ago. As the Child of Light, he was rocked on a mysterious stone cradle by a woman from the East.
  Seeking to uncover secrets held for centuries, Patrice Chaplin's research into her book The Stone Cradle evolved naturally into Lucifer by Moonlight. From the material she discovered, the rebellious archangel surfaced into the modern day – treading his way down dark streets, forever trying to make sense of his destiny. In London, he is seen as a man of exquisite taste and blinding charisma, habitually breaking hearts. Alternatively, as Lucie Fur he is a high class hooker, walking the streets of Kentish Town whilst trying to avoid his old enemy, the Elysium Fox from Thebes.
  Chaplin – celebrated novelist and memoirist – takes us to the timeless Stone Cradle, where the old red-headed trickster, absorbing beams from the moon to feed his brilliance, lies waiting for his obligatory earthly reappearance. But could things turn out differently this time? Might his veneration of children and unexpected care for others change his fate? As Lucifer returns to the Stone Cradle with his dying friend, the morning light reveals the glories of Venus, the place for which he yearns. Will there be atonement – or even redemption – for the tired archangel's past misdeeds?
  Illustrated with colour pictures by Melissa Scott-Miller, this imaginative new work is a thought-provoking fable for our time.

  The Willows is one of Algernon Blackwood's best known creepy stories. American horror author H.P. Lovecraft considered it to be the finest supernatural tale in English literature. He wrote in his treatise "Supernatural Horror in Literature", "Here art and restraint in narrative reach their very highest development, and an impression of lasting poignancy is produced without a single strained passage or a single false note."  "The Willows" is an example of early modern horror and is connected within the literary tradition of weird fiction.

  The story is about a family who moves to a castle haunted by the ghost of a dead nobleman, who killed his wife and was starved to death by his wife's brothers. The home of the Canterville Ghost was the ancient Canterville Chase, which has all the accoutrements of a traditional haunted house. Descriptions of the wainscoting, the library panelled in black oak, and the armour in the hallway characterise the setting. Wilde mixes the macabre with comedy, juxtaposing devices from traditional English ghost stories such as creaking floorboards, clanking chains, and ancient prophecies.

  The darkness has always been a symbol of fear and pain among the people. It is a jovial sum of all things evil in the world and a reflection of humanities lowest point of existence. The darkness is a consumer of light while it cannot capture the light whole, it is a great tempter for the unseen realms to take on their marching orders.

Their weapons of choice are fasting and praying while reading the word of God gives them strength for the battle. 
  
  Satan has placed a wager that the Christ Walk team will not succeed with their new assignment to Edenville, Michigan. A place for which massive evil of all forms has risen, and the heavens have been alerted of its fury. Satan's assignment is to do what he does best, distract the group from achieving their purpose. The Christ Walk team must make it to Edenville, Michigan before the darkness consumes the entire city. Will they be able to stave off the grip of Satan while in Memphis? Or will they too succumb to the drum of the evil one?
