The Carl Hildridge Journals

About the Book

This story is a gothic thriller that tells of a woman named Alice Sparks, who came to possess special abilities after entering an old dilapidated mansion that was possessed by the souls of those who were damned there by a servant of Satan named Hildridge. Hildridge had escaped Satan’s wrath by hiding inside one of his diaries, which Alice Sparks came upon while searching for antiques and relics she could sell in a nearby town. She became possessed by the escaped servant, Hildridge, who prompted her to vow and decrepit things to the townspeople in the nearby community. This led a small group of policemen to search for her and what they believed to be a journal that possessed diabolical incantations and that had the ability to open a portal for Satan himself to enter the world of the living. While seeking out the possessed woman and the journal, they encountered Satan’s forces, which sought to prevent the group from stopping Satan’s coming.

About the Author

Hello, I’m Arthur Richter, the author of The Carl Hildridge Journals. This the first of a trilogy that came to me when I was traveling the United States at sixteen, riding the rails down South. That’s right, I would listen to hobos telling their tall tales just to pass the time. I thought I would tell one of my own. Of course, leaving a lot more to tell for the others to follow. I hope you become as enthralled as I did when I wrote them. They do become pretty enthralling.
