I also urge you to check out the works of Konstantinos (in my top friends). The rituals in DEAD SOULS are real, and can be found in his book SUMMONING SPIRITS.
"Dead Souls is creepy, atmospheric, and explosive -- keep a light on and a gun loaded when you crack this baby. Another outstanding thriller from Michael Laimo."
Douglas Preston, author of The Monster of Florence.

My third horror novel, THE DEMONOLOGIST, was published in May, 2005. MY NEW NOVEL, DEAD SOULS, IS IN STORES NOW!

I'm also the author of the dark S/F-Suspense novel, SLEEPWALKER, which came out in Limited Edition hardcover from Delirium Books, publisher of my two short story collections, DEMONS, FREAKS, AND OTHER ABNORMALITIES, and DREGS OF SOCIETY.
More recently, my short fiction has found its way into the pages of IN DELIRIUM, A WALK ON THE DARKSIDE, LOST ON THE DARKSIDE, HOT BLOOD XII: STRANGE BEDFELLOWS, SURREAL MAGAZINE, INHUMAN MAGAZINE, THE BEST OF EPITAPHS, plus many more anthologies and magazines.
