The demonologist

Bev Mathers has begun to hear voices that no one else can, and the images that flash through his mind grow more vivid with each passing day. He is entirely lucid, though, and something has taken hold of him that is far worse than madness, working toward an aim no human could grasp.

Bev is little more than a piece moved across a board he cannot see, caught in a scheme driven by hellish powers. His visions, filled with bloodshed and depravity, become more grotesque as time goes on, and some of the most disturbing among them are actually happening. He can feel his mind, his body and his soul being pulled away from him.

The story asks whether the demonologist, the one figure who might understand what is happening to Bev, will offer him a way out or seal his fate forever.
