Belial: A Short Story (EBOOK)

Father Mallory thought he’d left the world of exorcisms behind. But when a desperate mother pleads for help with her daughter—ten-year-old Mira Ferrin, once sweet, now violent, foul, and unrecognizable—he’s pulled back into a world of shadows. Despite his creeping doubt, he reluctantly agrees to perform the rites he knows so well. Armed with the tools of centuries of tradition, Mallory steps into Mira’s room, but what he finds there unsettles him to his core. Something that challenges not just his faith, but the very foundation of what it means to be human—what it means to endure. Belial is a psychological horror story about belief, identity, and the quiet terror of being unmasked. What begins as an attempt to cast out evil becomes something far more intimate: a reckoning with grief, faith, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.
