Not since Betty Eadie’s <i>Embraced by the Light</i> has a personal account of a Near-Death Experience (NDE) been so utterly different from most others—or nearly as compelling.<br /><br />In the thirty years since Raymond Moody’s <i>Life After Life</i> appeared, a familiar pattern of NDEs has emerged: suddenly floating over one’s own body, usually in a hospital setting, then a sudden hurtling through a tunnel of light toward a presence of love. <i>Not so</i> in Howard Storm’s case.<br /><br />Storm, an avowed atheist, was awaiting emergency surgery when he realized that he was at death’s door. Storm found himself out of his own body, looking down on the hospital room scene below. Next, rather than going “toward the light,” he found himself being torturously dragged to excruciating realms of darkness and death, where he was physically assaulted by monstrous beings of evil. His description of his pure terror and torture is unnerving in its utter originality and convincing detail.<br /><b
