It is a world like our own in every respect . . . save one. In the
1950s, random acts of possession begin to occur. Ordinary men,
women, and children are the targets of entities that seem to spring
from the depths of the collective unconscious, pop-cultural avatars
some call demons. There's the Truth, implacable avenger of
falsehood. The Captain, brave and self-sacrificing soldier. The
Little Angel, whose kiss brings death, whether desired or not. And
a string of others, ranging from the bizarre to the benign to the
horrific.
As a boy, Del Pierce is possessed by the Hellion, an entity whose
mischief-making can be deadly. With the help of Del's family and a
caring psychiatrist, the demon is exorcised . . . or is it? Years
later, following a car accident, the Hellion is back, trapped
inside Del's head and clamoring to get out.
Del's quest for help leads him to Valis, an entity possessing the
science fiction writer formerly known as Philip K. Dick; to Mother
Mariette, a nun who inspires decidedly unchaste feelings; and to
the Human League, a secret society devoted to the extermination of
demons. All believe that Del holds the key to the plague of
possession-and its solution. But for Del, the cure may be worse
than the disease.
"Look out, Lethem Daryl Gregory mixes pop culture and pathos,
flavoring it with Philip K. Dick. Pandemonium possesses every
quality you want in a great novel, and the good news is it's only
his debut."
-Charles Coleman Finlay, Hugo and Nebula Award-nominated author of
The Prodigal Troll
