Mississippi Brimstone A Novel of Possession and Prayer
In the humid shadows of New Orleans, where the Mississippi carries both sin and grace, Father Victor Hale has spent decades standing in rooms where the air itself turns against the light.
A scarred exorcist of the Church, Hale has faced the Enemy more times than he can count. He bears the marks-physical and otherwise-of battles most will never believe. When sixteen-year-old Claire Laveau begins to speak in tongues older than Scripture, to bear marks no human hand could make, and to laugh with a voice that is not her own, the veil between worlds thins once more.
What begins as a girl's curiosity with a Ouija board becomes a war of wills: a demon that remembers every failure, every doubt, every name it has ever heard spoken in prayer. Hale knows the signs. He knows the smell of brimstone that follows. He knows the laughter that mocks faith until it breaks.
With a reluctant young priest, a steadfast nun, and a terrified mother at his side, Hale enters the rite-not to prove anything to the world, but to save one soul from being claimed forever.
But the Enemy does not fight fair. It remembers. It waits. It speaks the names of the lost.
Mississippi Brimstone is a slow-burn Catholic horror novel of spiritual warfare, doubt, redemption, and the cost of standing between the innocent and the ancient dark. Perfect for readers of The Exorcist, The Rite, and Southern Gothic tales that linger long after the final page.
Warning from the author (Father Victor Hale): These pages contain descriptions of possession that will unsettle even the stoutest heart. The rites of exorcism are not games; they are weapons entrusted to the Church. Do not attempt what is described here. If you are troubled in spirit, seek a priest. Speak in the confessional. Pray the Rosary. Keep a blessed candle burning. But do not tread these pages lightly, nor alone in the dark hours when the house is silent.
I have seen what happens when the veil thins. I bear the scars. May God preserve you from ever needing to bear your own.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Victor Hale Priest and Exorcist New Orleans, 2025
