Based on true events, this haunting story from the 1970's has never been made public until now...

Forewarned that ghosts may haunt his new residence, Doug Conroy rents the hundred year-old house, anyway. But as soon as he moves in, paranormal phenomena strike without warning and soon escalate into a battle of ‘good vs. evil’.

This ordeal takes place in Marin County, across the Golden Gate from San Francisco. As a newcomer to California's entertainment industry, Doug strives to balance his Midwestern values with the counter-culture pursuits of organic gurus and new-age idealists. Then...his career is interrupted by ominous events that threaten his sanity and...possibly his life!

For readers who want a thrilling, yet believable haunted house story, they will find The Soul Beyond Darkness a refreshing alternative to cliche' horror stories that capitalize on shallow "blood-and-guts" plots. On the contrary, herein lies a suspenseful chronology of terrifying encounters with the dark side of the spiritual realm.

5.0 out of 5 stars The first real good story I've read in years., March 1, 2003

First real good story I've read in years.
I was very, very impressed with this story. I liked many aspects of this story. It was more than a typical horror story. Also, this is a book somebody can read and enjoy without the vulgarity found in so many other books. I recommend this to anyone like me who hasn't had time to read alot of books, but when I do, it had better be good!

5.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing! Couldn't put it down!, January 10, 2003

Shelly Morrisette (Mt. Pleasant, MI) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Soul Beyond Darkness (Paperback)

I read this book during a week I was supposed to be studying for final exams (4th year broadcasting major). I just kept on and on, reading one chapter after the next because everytime I tried to stop thinking about this story, it kept coming back into my head so I couldn't concentrate on anything else. This book was a lot different than any other mystery or horror book I ever read. It was very suspenseful without being extreme or gross like most of those other books of the same genre. Maybe that's because this was a true story. Anyway, I liked everything about this story - especially the characters. The author (Ebright) seemed to know just when to change scenes or add a little levity here and there so I wouldn't get too worn out by the heavy subject matter of ghosts or demonic entities. It seemed to be a good balance...I was hooked into reading the whole book within two-a-half days! And the surprise I discovered was that unlike any other scary book I've read, this one left me feeling more positive about myself and my own spirituality. (Incidentally, I used this book as a basis for my semester project to adapt a book to a one hour screenplay.)

5.0 out of 5 stars A Soul beyond Compare, March 22, 2003

This review is from: The Soul Beyond Darkness (Paperback)

Yes, I liked this book. I finished reading it in under 24 hours. That is a compliment all by itself! I thoroughly enjoyed the story and would definitely recommend it to anybody who likes a good believable ghost story; however the first three chapters are slow but interesting. Then, the story really grips you and demands you continue reading it to find out what happens next. You can't put it down. I found the characters to be everyday people that you can empathize with and I would read more books by this author if and when they become available.
