Ray Russell was een meester in het horrorgenre, wiens korte verhalen, romans en scenario's vaak de donkerdere krochten van de menselijke psyche verkenden. Zijn meesterwerk, het korte verhaal "Sardonicus", wordt beschouwd als een hoogtepunt van de moderne gotische vertelkunst, met een sfeer die zo tastbaar is dat het werd bewerkt tot een filmscenario. Russell blonk uit in het creëren van spanning en dreiging die de lezer nog lang na de laatste pagina bijblijven. Zijn bijdragen worden geprezen om hun originaliteit en huiveringwekkende effectiviteit.

Teenager Susan Garth was "a clean-talking sweet little girl" of high school age before she started having "fits"--A sudden aversion to churches and a newfound fondness for vulgarity. Then one night, she strips in front of the parish priest and sinks her nails into his throat. If not madness, then the answer must be demonic possession. To vanquish the Devil, Bishop Crimmings recruits Father Gregory Sargent, a younger priest with a taste for modern ideas and brandy. As the two men fight not just the darkness tormenting Susan but also one another, a soul-chilling revelation lurks in the shadows-one that knows that the darkest evil goes by many names
