When Darkness Ruled

When Darkness Ruled by J. T. (Jim Tom) McMahon tells the troubling and ill-omened tale of the stunning and possessed Ann Miller, a nurse in the rural town of Derryville, Alabama, circa 1920. The town, built to offer optimism and a new life to the adventurous souls who move there, is destined to become the center of an epic fight between good and evil, with the beautiful and haunted Ann at its center. The good people of Derryville are unlucky enough to come under the influence of Ann’s dark world and are themselves destined for disaster, as one by one the evil inside her exacts terrible retribution and revenge—one soul at a time. Set against the backdrop of the consequences following the war to end all wars and the newly imposed challenges of prohibition, Derryville is torn between the light and the darkness that can rule men’s souls. If anything is true for the hapless Ann Miller and her fateful companions, it must be that good will triumph over evil, but in this case the final result is anything but certain. Written in hard-hitting and uncompromising prose, When Darkness Ruled is wonderfully complex fiction. In a crowded occult marketplace, Author Jim McMahon brings a vision and literary style to his work that sets When Darkness Ruled apart from the pack. Readers will find much that will chill, excite, and entertain. When Darkness Ruled is a must-read that will be sure to please horror and occult fans, but it will also electrify anyone who enjoys a great story well told.
