Kindle Edition Amazon Erica House Book Publishers Category:  Horror Publisher: Erica House ISBN-10:  1893162060 Type: Fiction Pages: 315 Copyright: Dec 1 1999 Price: $4.79 (eBook) Teenage girl flees for her life from a supernatural horror, unwittingly exposing those close to her to the ancient evil that spawned it. A Co-Ed flees out of the Canadian woodlands pursued by a horrible creature, while a beautiful psychic is stalked by a deadly stranger. These incidents take divorce attorney, Kyle Morrow, far beyond the courtroom, into a realm that exists between light and darkness... a land of nightmare and shadows... the battleground where good and evil clash, in a struggle for Morrow's life, his sanity, and ultimately his very soul. "Twilight Dynasty" is a tense, supernatural thriller that tells the tale of lives forever changed by Morrow's encounter with the master of this twilight dynasty.  Excerpt Amanda Stewart's long blonde hair whipped about her face in the chill night wind. Sweat glistened from her comely face and ran in rivulets to soak her tattered halter-top. Her shapely legs pumped wildly beneath the ragged remains of her navy mini-skirt. The underbrush slashed at her ankles as the rocky ground punished her naked feet. She was thankful to have escaped, but her life was still at risk. She fled without direction through the benighted Canadian woodlands, trying to outdistance her pursuer. She reached the bottom of a grade and started across a wooded stretch of terrain. A root caught her right foot and she fell forward, striking the ground hard and twisting her ankle. Looking back over her shoulder, she could make out a shadowy shape circling above the treetops. She could sense those evil, glowing eyes scouring the countryside for her. She stifled a cry and lay completely still until it passed. She was terrified because she knew that her pursuer was not of this world.

The Charlotte Austin Review
Twilight Dynasty: Courting Evil is a thrilling and frightening tale that is impossible to put down. It should definitely be read with the lights on. A novel you won’t soon forget, even if you try.

The Rotarian Magazine
The past haunts us in countless ways... Smith's novel of the supernatural, set in a lush, green Canadian landscape, delves into 'the mysteries of the mind, and the very secrets behind man's existence.' As protagonist Kyle Morrow discovers from past-life regression sessions, there are worse things than memories to spring from the past to destroy mankind. Morrow, a divorce attorney who is drawn into a twilight realm of nightmare and shadows, is forced to do battle with evil creatures intent on destroying his soul and the souls of others near to him.

Painted Rock Book Reviews
Terrorizing horror story! ...TWILIGHT DYNASTY: COURTING EVIL is formulaic horror complete with successful evil, demons from hell, heavenly visitors, and magical spells. Though seemingly by the book, Barry H. Smith provides his audience with a terrific terrorizing tale that compares the modern day New Age movement with early Judeo-Christian roots. Fans of in your face horror will devour this story line and demand more novels from Mr. Smith.
