As children we knew there was something under our beds, that creatures lurked in the darkest corners of our rooms, and we were terrified about what was in the closest. But as we grew, our parents convinced us it was just in our imaginations and there was nothing there that could hurt us. What if they were wrong? What happens when what we believed to not be possible suddenly is possible? And everything you believed in is suddenly no more? Baptism by Fire is the story of Demonologist Dwayne Claud.
