Demon's Door (Rook Book 7)

The seventh Jim Rook novel from the master of supernatural horror - Remedial English teacher and psychic Jim Rook has been feeling out of sorts all summer, and on the first day of the Fall semester he runs over and kills his pet cat, Tiddles.

From Booklist

Jim Rook, the community-college remedial English teacher and investigator of strange phenomena, returns for another adventure. It begins somberly: Rook accidentally runs over and kills his beloved cat, Tiddles. But then one of his students gives him a basket with an unusual gift inside: Tiddles, looking and acting as if nothing had happened. The student tells Jim that this is a gift from Kwisin, a Korean spirit—or perhaps demon—who is expressing gratitude, in advance, for something Jim will do for her (naturally Jim figures this probably isn’t a good sign, and, as usual, he’s right). As with the previous Rook novels, the story is frightening without being terrifying, with a hero who’s a regular guy who happens to possess some psychic abilities that enable him to cross over the boundary between the real and the surreal. A solid entry in the series. --David Pitt
