I understand the power of dreams to be haunting. I once had one where I was gripped by the figure of death and he held me down and whispered in my ear and I couldn't move. I was paralyzed, looking at this black emptiness within a black cloak. When I woke up, I still was paralyzed. I realized it was sleep paralysis, but the dream I've never forgotten.
Reading Soulcreek has been a fantastic experience for me, and I'm sure everyone who invests the time to read it will get the enjoyment I have, and the auditory experience is indeed excellent. My friend and I often talk about the mysteries and influence of what may be the underlying nature of the demons. He has a penchant for cosmic horror, whereas I tend to be affected by the spectre of things very real we're powerless to stop.
Whatever happens in the story, I do have my own speculations, yet they tend to rely more on science fiction. So I'm wondering just what kind of can of worms humanity opened up in the past story wise. The allure of the mystery and what's beyond is captivating to be sure, and for me, what Carl Sagan said still rings true for me - Science is a candle in the dark.
And like the protagonist of the story, knowing is the only way to move forward.
