Esta patente oscuridad, de Frank Peretti, se encuentra entre las novelas clasicas del genero cristiano de suspense. Publicado por primera vez en 1986, el libro de Peretti establece un estandar del suspense en la narracion de historias de guerra espiritual que rara vez han logrado sus contemporaneos. Teniendo como escenario el aparentemente inocente pueblo de Ashton, Esta patente oscuridad persigue a un intrepido predicador cristiano nacido de nuevo y reportero mientras trata de desenmascarar un complot de la Nueva Era para apoderarse de la comunidad local y a la larga del mundo. Casi cada pagina del libro describe demonios de grotesca apariencia batallando contra angeles de elevada estatura y buen parecer con un nivel de realismo que sobrepasa los sentidos. Sin embargo, los creyentes cristianos y los adoradores de demonios de la Nueva Era pueden influenciar los choques invisibles entre el bien y el mal por medio del poder de la oracion. Las violentas descripciones de Peretti de exorcismos son en especial vividas: 'Habian quince demonios], empacados en el cuerpo de Carmen como gusanos superpuestos, arrastrandose, moviendose, hirviendo, una marana de brazos, piernas talones y cabezas horripilantes'. Este libro no es para los de constitucion debil. Sin embargo, como una muestra del suspense espiritual al voltear cada pagina, es dificil de derrotar."
