Cratch

A Slavic family in an American City Balmoral becomes the latest victim of a generational demon curse of no known escape. Tihomir Goralski on the cusp of adolescence and his parents and Busia try to cope in a city of many immigrant families crammed into a tiny ethnic community. Some of the families harbor dark secrets and fears. The Goralski family is such a group. Unfortunate Fate and poorly chosen circumstances upend Tihomirs course until he finds a friendship in Dr. Zeis a government scientist and Brother Henry a Roman Catholic Church investigator of cultural demon myths. Each helps provide hope for Tihomirs future and for the future of his illegitimate daughter Sylvia. Their combined efforts may one day save the world or at least postpone subjugation planned by ancient otherworldly beings.
