Daryl is the webmaster for Centre County Reads, so we are all excited about the publication of his first book. It has received great reviews in Publisher's Weekly (starrred), Library Journal and Kirkus (review journals that librarians use). It is an alternate history where humans are randomly possessed by demons and one unhappy soul decides to fight back. It will be released on Tuesday, August 26th. Daryl will have a signing at Barnes & Noble on Sunday, September 7th at 3 PM.
