Bodie

In one terrifying week, Nick Thomas is torn from his peaceful life in a small coastal Oregon town and it thrown into a to-the-death battle within the world of the supernatural. After Janet, his wife, and their unborn son are murdered, he learns a shocking truth about his wife. Before they'd met, she was a member of a cult known as The Family. The dark secret kept hidden by The Family is that its leader, Zakarias Adams, rules his followers from beyond the grave. Janet was Adams' daughter and a member of The Family, until she could no longer endure the suffering The Family spread as it preyed on the living. For Adams, his daughter’s betrayal could not go unpunished. His minion hunted her down and killed her. Once Adams had her brought to him, he would hold her for eternity in his nether-world of the undead. When Nick discovers his wife has been condemned to an existence worse than Hell itself, he has to free her. In Bodie, a deserted town in Texas, in the basement of an abandoned house, he finds the barrier separating the world of the living from Adams' world of the dead. With the help of Christian prayer and Cherokee Indian mysticism, Nick cuts through the barrier and crosses over. In death, he battles Adams for Janet's and his soul.
