Author: F. Paul Wilson
Premise:
A man raised by foster parents, finds out he is the heir of a notable scientist... and that he is a clone. And his pregnant wife may be harboring something very evil inside her.
My Take:
If you are a fan of the author's Repairman Jack series, then this book in series called The Adversary Cycle is a must read. Both are different sides of the bigger opus Wilson calls The Secret History of the World. It took about 2/3 of the book to figure out how it all ties together. This man has an obsession trying to find out his biological parents. He inherits a mansion and lots of money from a Noble Prize winning scientist, then finds out his true identity and that he is actually of clone of the scientist. In the meantime, a secret sect of the church is preparing for the arrival of Satan. They find out the man is a clone and think he's the Anti-Christ, but then realize it's the unborn child. It's not Satan, but a force of Evil which is in constant battle with another opposing force with mankind as the prize to the winner. The book is a great read, as usual, from one of the lesser known horror author.

Proud to admit that I am a horror junkie. However, my definition of what falls under the realm of horror entertainment is fairly wide. Horror is an emotion experienced differently by individuals. These are short reviews of the movies, television series, novels, comics, albums, and any thing else which crosses my path if I feel like falls into the wide world of horror entertainment.
