Inhaltsangabe

The Calling . . . where nightmares chronicle the past--and predict a horrifying future; where a Victorian mansion is thought to be haunted--and the truth is far worse; where a mysterious stranger is either a guardian angel--or the devil in disguise, and where a 600-year-old cult of demon worshippers isn't history--but just waiting for . . . The Calling.

The Sarasin family's move to northern Michigan is meant as a getaway from the stressful big-city life of suburban Detroit. Instead they find themselves engaged in an epic struggle . . . with a demon, their new house's sinister past and with themselves. From a mysterious stranger who stalks them, to a hotel clerk who describes their house's former owner as "a doctor not of the living . . . but of the dying," from sounds of digging and voices under their house to an enormous "stone circle" used for Satan worship in the forest behind them, from the discovery of journals describing demon calling to a sheriff who may be "one of them," the Sarasins are plunged into a seemingly unstoppable descent as pawns in a game where the future of the world depends upon their ability to stop the creation of an immense "gate"--a pathway between the world of the living and that of the revengeful dead.
