Demonic world in Raven’s Peak
Maybe there are some other theories about hell and demons that accord with the book more?

I'm only about halfway in so I can't answer this yet, but I was thrown off by Abigail's declaration, too. She said she wants to send Abaddon back to hell. I had trouble with this name because in my experience Abaddon is a Knight of Hell and Sam and Dean Winchester had a hell of a time dealing with her (yes, I watch Supernatural). So I keep picturing the Abaddon in the book as the same Abaddon in the TV show Supernatural.

I agree.Donnavila Marie01 wrote:The confusion on Abbadon's characterization is what makes Raven's Peak unique. The declaration of Abigail keeps us thinking and wondering which compels us to finish the book to look for the answers.

I don't watch the TV show Supernatural, so I can't compare demonic characters. But in demonology Abaddon is indeed a very powerful knight of hell.Christina O Phillips wrote:I'm only about halfway in so I can't answer this yet, but I was thrown off by Abigail's declaration, too.

It is an interesting idea.Amagine wrote:Maybe Abaddon is only extremely powerful when he is in hell. If he is outside of it, his power is weaker and that makes it easier for Abigail to get rid of him.
In demonology Abaddon is a synonym of destruction and death. I think it means that he must be powerful in human world. (Or does he destroy hell? )
Nevertheless a demon of such high level doesn't have to possess someone, doesn't need a body for presence in our world.

That is a unique point of view of demons indeed. You are right, a reader is so confused that he have to finish all the series.Donnavila Marie01 wrote:The confusion on Abbadon's characterization is what makes Raven's Peak unique.

My husband absolutely loves Supernatural. I refuse to watch it because I'm a big scaredy cat when it comes to demons and evil spirits.Christina O Phillips wrote:I'm only about halfway in so I can't answer this yet, but I was thrown off by Abigail's declaration, too.

I love Supernatural too! I can guarantee you, the show isn't as scary as it seems, and in fact, is emotionally complex. Then again, I'm a horror fan, so I'm not sure how my tastes correlate to yours…Kdonegan91 wrote:My husband absolutely loves Supernatural.

On the bright side, the characters are cute.
