Summary
Jack Dawson, a New York City detective, is coping with a number of issues in his personal life. His wife Linda died lately, leaving him to care for his two children, Penny and Davey. He is also forced to confront an exceptionally cruel spate of Mafia criminals' killings, which appear to have been carried out by animals, despite the fact that no live creature would just shred a person to pieces without consuming anything. Finally, his partner Rebecca rejected his final conclusion that supernatural or magical forces were involved in the crimes.
In reality, these beasts were summoned from hell by a bocor named Baba Lavelle. Lavelle thought they were lesser demons due to their diminutive size since the doorway to Hell is not yet large enough to allow larger monsters.
Dawson is astonished at the end of the story to discover that the gateway has grown so large that it has consumed the shed where it is hidden. Tentacles have emerged from the hole and are dragging Lavelle to hell.
When Jack notices this, he concludes that it was only a foreshadowing of a bigger evil to come.
When holy water fails to stop the pit from expanding, Jack uses his blood from a tentacle wound to do it. He is afraid that if he fails, he will have to sacrifice himself in the hole.
The tale concludes with all of the inhabitants turning to mud and Jack hearing Rebecca exclaim "I love you, Jack" in thin air.
