Growing up shouldn't be this dangerous.
Eight year-old Cameron’s life teeters between terror and sanctuary. With his only refuge the local library, he faces a neighborhood psychopath, brutal family tragedy, and a demon-obsessed mother in the grips of an apocalyptic cult. When Cam turns eighteen, the doomsday cult tightens its grip, and his journey spirals into homelessness, drugs and alcohol, and the violent criminal underworld of 1980s New Jersey and Philadelphia.
Can he learn The Truth About Demons before it's too late?
Witty, funny and fierce, The Truth About Demons is a relentless rollercoaster of heartbreak and hope, featuring larger-than-life characters that could easily grace a movie screen. Amid shattered dreams, and haunting events is a deeply moving, coming-of-age story packed with plenty of laughs, some tears, and enough heart to make even the demons blush.
The Truth About Demons is available on Amazon for Kindle Unlimited.
