"An extraordinary psychological horror book. Excellently written, with a twisted, spiraling, unexpected end that will leave you speechless." TBM Horror Experts. Detective. Angel. Victim. Devil. On November 1, 1951, war hero John Ashton was promoted to detective. His first assignment: find the district attorney's missing daughter. But his only lead is Alena Francon, a high society sculptor and socialite committed to Bellevue's psychiatric facility. When Alena's confidant, Annette Flemming, confirms the existence of Golem, John is sent on a collision course where fate and destiny spiral into peril, and the future of the human race hangs in the balance. Fans of The Silence of the Lambs, Clive Barker, John Connolly, old Stephen King, and Anne Rice will be fascinated by this edge of your seat psychological horror thriller with a story that rips out the heart of humanity and throws it on a slab to be feasted on.
A haunting tale of suspense, loss, isolation, contempt, and fear.
Alena has a story for the new detective. A story so outlandish John Ashton refuses to heed the warning. Alena admits to incarnating Golem, a demonic force, into her statue. A devil so profound he's infiltrated every part of New York's infrastructure. Even worse, he uses children to serve as bodily hosts for his demonic army, unleashing a horde of devils into our world.

This book is made for nightmares, and my goodness it is devilishly good!
Golem is the perfect socialite that everyone seems to admire, but Alena knows what Golem really is. While she tries to sever the connections that continuously haunt her, the soul’s of the living are dangerously at stake. Meanwhile, new detective John Ashton investigates a high profile missing persons case when their paths collide during his visit to the psychiatric hospital. Is Alena crazy? Or is there something much darker lurking among the living?
If I could give Golem more than 5 stars, I would. This spine-tingling, nightmare inducing story haunted me for days…… just as a good horror book should.
Did I also mentioned the book includes multiple gems of history scattered throughout its pages? Alleva successfully incorporates demonic villains, ancient folklore, and historical details creating not only a fantastic psychological horror, but also a historically inspired one! I highly suggest you also read the author’s note at the end (and yes….. wait until the end!) to get some background on what inspired the story and how it came to be. I promise it’s worth the read.
Haunting, dark, and creepy – Golem is by far one of the best books I have read in years.
