James Herbert - The Shrine
THE SHRINE [02-05-4.9]
By: James Herbert
Synopsis:

COME WORSHIP AT THE SHRINE
If you are lustful, your most carnal desires will
be fulfilled.
If you are greedy, wealth will be yours for the
taking.
If you are holy, you will learn of a force greater
than all your dreams of the divine.
If you are a disbeliever, you will be converted or
you will be destroyed.
Bow before the shrine and little Alice, the angelic
child who stands before it and casts her light over
the world ...
... as the flames of hell leap up to conquer
heaven
itself. . . .
