Satanic Panic: The Midnight Gospel

Retro Horrors: The Lost Decade, Book 1

By: B. Humphrey

Narrated by: Khai Lannor

The devil is in the details…

It’s 1989, and the sleepy town of Ashwood is gripped by fear. Kids are missing, strange symbols are appearing on doors, and parents are pointing fingers at everything from heavy metal to Dungeons & Dragons. The airwaves are full of preachers and politicians screaming about Satanic cults lurking behind every corner. But for B, Crystal, Heather, Mike, and Sam, this is more than just another wild conspiracy—it’s all terrifyingly real.

When the five friends stumble onto an ancient, underground cult known as The Midnight Gospel, they realize the danger is far worse than anything on the nightly news. The cult isn’t just spreading fear—it’s planning a ritual to summon something far more evil than anyone could imagine: Belial, a demon from the depths of the abyss.

Now, with the next full moon fast approaching, the kids must infiltrate the cult’s hidden lair, face down shadowy horrors, and stop the ritual before the darkness consumes their town—and their souls.

But evil never fights fair, and the closer they get to the truth, the harder it becomes to tell what’s real and what’s a nightmare. With every step, the shadows grow deeper. And if they make one mistake... Belial will escape.

Part 80s nostalgia, part occult thriller, and all heart-pounding horror, Satanic Panic: The Midnight Gospel is a pulse-pounding ride through the hysteria of a paranoid decade—where friendship, fear, and fate collide.

For fans of Stranger Things, Stephen King, and retro pulp horror.

This was fun, spooky, nostalgic & addictive!

Loved this one. Took me back to the 80's with all the sensory and descriptive language. The characters were super real and relatable, the story was awesome and the way it unfolded was 5-star worthy indeed. Not to mentions the part where the things happen, I don't want to ruin it for you, but it will haunt me for a long time to come. Super c\scary stuff!
