Black Easter

The Devil's Day #1
by James Blish
Black Easter (The Devil's Day #1) by James Blish
Unrated

Black Easter is also known as Faust Aleph-Null.

For aeons, the forces of darkness had tampered from afar with the earth and its inhabitants, until, in the ominously near future, Theron Ware, Doctor of Theology and Black Sorcerer of fiendish powers, conjures the fallen angels into the world of the flesh to deal more directly with those who would enlist the aid of the Evil One.

Retained by shadowy megalomaniac industrialist Baines to assassinate the Governor of California, Theron finds the means to unleash the demons of the underworld for one night of apocalyptic horror – to reign unopposed over heaven and earth, or to fall before the magic of the Monk of Monte Albano.
