Customer Reviews

A book you'll remember for years to come.

I read this book about ten years ago, and I still look for it any book search i can find. It mesmerized me; rivoted me to my seat. It captivated me and still hasn't let me go. My advice? Read it but not in an empty house alone. (Bring your cross.) Certain scenes will stay with you. The ground splitting, the goats on the alter, the crucifixes having fallen upside down. A spiritual journey for the scientist, a life and death battle for the priest, that will make you see the world in a whole new light.

Chilling and Creepy: Stays With You For Days and Days

Golgotha Falls is the story of a small Catholic church in outstate Massachusetts that comes under satanic attack, the scientists who want to study the phenomena, and the Jesuit who wants to exorcise the demon and reconsecrate it. In addition to the suprenatural elements of the story, there is a deep psychological struggle between the three main characters as they interpret the events around them. One of the more effective horror stories I've read simply because it's so creepy at the same time it seems totally plausible. It ranks with the great Christianity-based terror novels like The Exorcist for sheer believability and imagination. DeFellita expertly humanizes his characters so that the demonic attacks seem all the more real and personal. The Harvard lecture scene made me cringe - it's not to be missed. Truly one of the creepiest horror stories you'll find.
