Falter Kingdom Summary

Falter Kingdom: A Novel by Michael J. Seidlinger

Hunter Warden just wants some peace and quiet. He wants to watch unboxing videos and be lulled to sleep by the monotone voices and smooth talking YouTube hosts. He wants his parents that are always working to either totally leave him alone or be around for once. After a few beers, Hunter decides to get away from it all and go for a run in Falter Kingdom. When you run the gauntlet at Falter Kingdom, a tunnel next to a park on the outskirts of suburbia where local high school kids go to drink and smoke, one of two things can happen -- nothing or you catch a demon. The cold spots, locked doors, scratches on the wall, and disappearing laptop immediately alert Hunter to the fact that a demon is haunting him. He knows the signs, he's seen the videos of people that are possessed, and everyone knows someone that has had to get an exorcism. Hunter knows that he should get rid of it, but he can't help but enjoy the company of H, despite this demon's sinister intentions.

His is a kingdom without borders. --Joshua Mohr, author of All This Life One of Vol. 1 Brooklyn's Best Books of August High school is a time of endless exorcisms, and Michael J. Seidlinger captures the demon-expelling days of senior year in Falter Kingdom with tenderness and honesty.
