The satanic succubus, Laura McBride, hungers for
revenge. ‘Laura’s Wrath’ takes the reader from
the unjust execution of Laura’s husband Robert during
the American Civil War to the 1960s and into the lives
of a husband and wife, the Westons, whose only crime is
researching family ancestry.
Satan and Laura manipulate the couple through a series
of mutual nightmares and the use of the husband’s model
train layout to accomplish Laura’s final act of
retribution for her husband Robert’s unjust execution.
Can the Westons and their parish priest survive Laura’s
Wrath, or are they doomed?

From the Baryon Online
Review 119:
"The story begins in July
1865 with a Union trial and execution of Laura McBride’s
husband, Robert. He has been accused of passing
information to the Confederates and is sentenced to
hang. Father Timothy O’Brien knows who the real traitor
is, but is bound by Canon Law of Confession not to
divulge his name, even though an innocent man will die.
As Robert is hanged, Laura’s baby
dies and she calls on Satan to grant her revenge. Father
O’Brien goes to the Bishop to ask for an exorcism, but
is never seen again and his town of Amberville is wiped
away and lost to history.
In 1965, Charles Weston begins
looking into his family tree and goes to the church
archives to find out about Father O’Brien. While in the
archives, he has a strange vision and his entire world
is overturned as Laura makes her presence known.
He and his wife, Maria, are integral in her plans for
final demonic revenge.
Model trains running without
power, strange dreams, and an unexpected pregnancy are
only some of the events that make for an interesting
novel of revenge extending beyond time.
This is an interesting novel that
will appeal to the fans of Ira Levin and V.C. Andrews."
