Note: Andrew Gould is having a book signing for his novel "Angelica" at the 'Canteen' in Angelica (40 W. Main St.) on Friday Nov. 17 from 6-9 p.m.
Andrew Gould, a man devoted to both practicing law and the
art of writing good fiction, has completed his new book “Angelica”: a ferociously vivid depiction of a breaking
point in the ages-old supernatural battle between good and evil.
While the horror genre has been deluged as of late with
eerie stories of demonic possession, Gould provides a fresh take on the subject
by having the intruding agent be an angel with good intentions. Not only is this book a well-researched and
engaging work of fiction, Gould asserts that, “Angelica is also a message for a
world facing grim and troubling times and perhaps a guiding light to lead a way
out of the darkness.”
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Andrew
Gould’s thrilling tale brings Susan Tompkins to see her pastor, Michelle
Heller, about her son Kyle’s unusual symptoms.
When she admits that the most recent doctor she had consulted suggested
an exorcism as a possible cure, Pastor Heller immediately feels out of her
element and seeks the help of Franciscan Friar, Daniel LaBeau.
Being a man of considerable experience with paranormal
events real and fake, Father LaBeau quickly realizes that this is not a typical
case of demon possession. When the three
realize that not only is ten year old Kyle possessed by the angel Gabriel but
that one of his own family members is part of a well-laid plot to kill him,
Susan, Pastor Heller, Father LaBeau and Kyle go on the run. In a corrupt society, the group finds members of the conspiracy to kill Kyle at every turn and turn their focus on the boy’s survival until the prophecy foretold by the angel Gabriel can be fulfilled.
Readers who wish to experience this dynamic work can purchase “Angelica” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes and Noble.
Gould attended St. Bonaventure University. Here is another quick blurb-
Andrew Gould, '08, History Major
My honors project was a novel titled "Angelica." Creative writing has always been a hobby of mine. Also, I had always been interested in demons and angels and the theology behind those two spiritual topics.So I figured instead of simply writing a history thesis, I'd incorporate research on those two topics in a creative way. The result was "Angelica." Never did I have so much fun doing a project. More importantly, I couldn't have been prouder of my accomplishment.
Gould attended Thomas Cooley Law School in Lansing, Mich., and is now a practicing attorney in Easton, Pa.
