THE DEMONOLOGIST
Book ID/图书代码： 00200012B52136
English Summary/英文概要： Professor David Ullman is among the world’s leading authorities on Christian religion and myth. Not that he’s a believer. He sees what he teaches as nothing more than entrenched fiction - the "things that go bump in the mind". It’s why when he’s offered a trip to Venice to be a consultant on a case study based on his expertise as a "demonologist" he accepts, seeing it as a free vacation for his teenage daughter and himself. But what he witnesses in an attic room at an address amidst the decadent splendour of the old city will change what he believes forever. Terrified, David races back to his hotel. But now he has the unshakable feeling that he is no longer alone. And that the voice that passes from his daughter’s lips before she jumps from the hotel’s roof belongs to a being he has long studied, but until now never thought could ever be real... Deeply haunting and utterly compelling, The Demonologist is a powerfully moving tale of darkness and demons from the new master of modern horror, Andrew Pyper.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： David Ullman教授是一位研究基督教與神學的學術權威，他雖然曾經致力精研《失樂園》與《惡魔學說》，強烈衝擊一般大眾對『惡魔』的認知與思維。他傳授宗教信仰和神話故事，但事實上他自己並無信仰，不相信任何鬼神學說。David認為自己教授的《惡魔學問》無非只是一些虛構的想象，只是把自己的研究看作是一本精彩絕倫的小說而已…
因為『惡魔學家』的專業背景，有人邀請David到威尼斯擔任其中一件靈異事件案例的調查。他很快欣然接受，因為這剛好正是他和十多歲女兒到威尼斯免費旅游一次的絕佳機會。他卻從未料想到，在這座腐朽城市其中的一座古老閣樓，他親眼目睹永遠改變所有信念的一幕，他相信這次親眼看到惡魔的存在。
David萬分驚恐逃回下榻的旅館，尾隨其後的惡魔卻讓他的女兒從旅館頂樓跳了下去，當他女兒跳樓前口中念念有詞的呢喃之聲，而聲音他似乎再也熟悉不過。被這一切深深沉迷其中不可自拔，他是否能找到挽救女兒的機會?(CL)
