Demon Drink by Kris Ashton
A night out becomes a nightmare in this dark supernatural novel that blends demonic possession, occult rituals, and the chilling consequences of temptation.
Times are tough in Black Wattle. Drought and forest fires have ravaged the town and its lifeblood, tourism, is on the wane. Nobody is feeling the pinch more than divorcee Shirley Goodsall, who is trying to keep the historic Ironstone Hotel afloat while quelling animosity between her ex-husband and their teenage daughter. So when the business manager for a microbrewery, Damon Prince, offers her a promotional deal that includes free kegs of beer, it’s a deal that seems too good to be true.
And it is. Shirley’s elation
soon turns to horror as she discovers she has unwittingly helped Prince unleash
dark forces in her town. Black Wattle’s residents are plunged into a nightmare
of infection and blood-curdling transformations. Shirley and a handful of
survivors band together to try to foil Prince’s fiendish plot, but Prince is no
ordinary man. He will stare into their souls and turn their most shameful
personal demons against them…
Fans of King’s earlier novels such as ’Salem’s Lot and Needful Things will revel in every ghastly, page-turning detail of Demon Drink, a master class in small-town horror from Australian Shadows Award Winner, Kris Ashton.
