Ok horror story marred by some gross stuff that is not really necessary for the story and thus seems to be there just for shock effect. With the long lead-up the ending is underwhelming. Also several things left hanging and side characters forgotten. For example

the nature of angel/daemon. They send out mails with images to several people, historians, anthropologists  - and that is never mentioned again. The crazy human sacrificing fundie - what happen to him…etc
