Qoute of the Day




I just finished reading this thriller from W.G. Griffiths called Driven (warner books) about a serial killer who uses cars as his weapon of choice and a detective who'll do anything to take him down.

Publisher's Weekly describes it better;

Highly original touches and an impressive flair for atmosphere make this spooky supernatural thriller one that nudges readers to examine spiritual matters while delivering an outstanding level of suspense. Lobster fisherman Karl Dengler is inhabited by the demon Krogan, and partners with other demon-possessed people to commit horrific acts of violence. When Krogan destroys the New York Aquarium's tanks of whales and dolphins, Det. Gavin Pierce's grandfather is one of the spectators killed. In his quest for vengeance, Gavin joins forces with Amy Kirsch, a sassy, drop-dead gorgeous computer hacker who has a homespun "fortune cookie" saying for almost every occasion. Recovering alcoholic Karianne Stordal suffers from her own demon and is commandeered by Krogan to help him commit vehicular homicide. Under hypnosis, she provides clues that help unlock the murders. As Krogan continues his reign of terror, Gavin and Amy turn to a reluctant exorcist-turned-dairy farmer (Buck) who has been victimized by Krogan in the past. The novel features a skillful mix of passages that entertain and frighten, and the plot is fast-paced and drenched in evil. Although the themes are strongly Christian, this is a solid crossover novel that should appeal to many readers of suspense and paranormal fiction. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.

And from that novel, here's a qoute i like. This was spoken by Buck, the reverend-turned-farmer when asked about Krogan:

"A demon's favorite home is furnished with weakness and perversions that match its own individual tastes. Anger, fear, depression, confusion, violence, power, wealth, fame...Our own vanities can make a demon's work very easy. And they don't like it when someone messes up their house. Or worst, evicts them."

Hence, every demon will do anything to bring a prayerful christian down.
