Demon Summoned In 17^th Century Courtyard Religious Site

STRATFORD, CT – APRIL 16, 2011 – Everyone has skeletons in the closet, though some refer to them as demons, clawing, controlling, obsessing.  Within a real life 17^th century Courtyard turned religious site, among its mysterious Druid circle and rock-built altar, reveals the origin of local fiction author Tina M.E.’s gothic novel Dantalion of the Goetia.

The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places by the U.S. Dept. of Interior and is considered by some “vaguely disturbing”, according to Elizabeth Mills Brown (1916-2008) Architectural Historian.

Dantalion, an immortal angel of God, has fallen from grace and is condemned as one of 72 demons of an ancient 17^th century grimoire referred to as The Goetia meaning sorcerer or mage.  He seduces a mortal college girl and practitioner of the occult named Laurel, who summons his true demonic form in the Courtyard of the Undead, creating an unexplainable relationship of love, obsession, and redemption.   

The novel goes deeper than any typical gothic romance.  “Sometimes we face something so strong it blinds us, sometimes to the point of obsession, and there is strength in the human spirit to see us through,” says the author.
