This is the first book in the Ultimate Supernatural Horror Box Set.  I bought it because Blake Crouch and Jack Kilborn had books of theirs in this set and I knew I liked their writing, but I hadn't heard of F. Paul Wilson before.This is a very Catholic/Christian based book but not a preachy one.  Like The Da Vinci Code, Wilson uses religious stories as a backdrop for his own.  I absolutely loved it...up until the end.  I didn't hate the ending but this is where it really got supernatural and preachy.  Not religiously preachy, more like anti-religiously.  And I didn't disagree with the message...in fact, he essentially put into words how I feel about religion.  It just seemed a bit over-the-top in it's execution.Regardless of the 'less than fantastic' ending, and really it's just my opinion as others may love the ending, this is a book that will make me seek out more books written by Wilson.
