Books like Incubus by Ann Arensberg
In Dry Falls, a quiet agricultural town surrounded by hills, a sudden heat wave and three‑month drought devastate crops while strange births and a surge of sexual violence unsettle the community. Parish rector Henry Lieber, an ardent believer whose faith is shaken, leads a desperate investigation. He confronts an enigmatic evil that takes the form of an incubus, succubus, and even fantastical figures, issuing invisible attacks that leave victims describing it as "he." As the town’s natural order breaks, Henry must rely on limited Christian counter‑magic to withstand the invader that continues to re‑appear, threatening to overrun Dry Falls again and again.
