“The Great American Catholic Horror Novel”
Remembering was merely the beginning of his nightmare...
A recovering alcoholic seeking to rebuild his life and relationships, Bruno Nolan, older brother of a popular priest, suddenly recalls being sexually abused as an altar boy.
The brothers struggle on opposite sides to uncover the secrets about the past. Msgr. Tom DeLaval, whose unspeakable sins threaten to undo powerful members of the Church hierarchy, flees, only to fight back with blackmail and black magic.
As familiar as today’s headlines and as suggestive as their worst implications, The Harrowing is a modern psychological horror story. It’s about forbidden lusts and repressed memories, corrupt priests and good priests, brave victims, crazy victims, sex, scandals, ancient evil, mind control, mysterious murders, and ecclesiastical politics.
