Do we die with our flesh? Or do we live on? DEVIL'S TOLL asks: what happens to our consciousness when we die? Despite the current appetite for supernatural suspense fiction, no other novel to date has dared to explore the concept of the Aerial Toll Houses, a time-honored religious belief that at the moment of death, our souls must encounter supernatural toll houses guarded by demons seeking their last chance to snatch us away to eternal damnation. The existence of the Aerial Toll Houses is an ancient doctrine in the Eastern Orthodox Church-a doctrine that persists to this day. DEVIL'S TOLL, written in a deceptively light-hearted tone, leads the reader on a death walk with a modern woman through her mysterious premature demise and the harrowing of her soul by malevolent unearthly beings masquerading as humans. Over three hundred years ago poet John Milton wrote: "Millions of spiritual Creatures walk the Earth Unseen, both when we wake, and when we sleep." Do YOU believe?
