The Monastery — J.N. Williamson

After piling his pickup into a sky-high snow drift, Dean Knight knew the best chance for survival in this desolate stretch of Indiana winter was the shadowy structure on a nearby hill. The Neva Monastery. Relieved that his family was at least finding shelter with safe, pious people, Dean shuttled his shivering wife and twelve year old son into the "Spiritual home of the Radenyi". But the Knights soon discovered that though these monastics were obsessively devout...they were far from devoted to anything remotely good...

The Neva Monastery was a place where one's darkest desires and most frightening terrors came true. The Radenyi thrived on twisted forms of worship; but whether their erotic rituals and bloody tortures lured or repelled the Knight family, one thing was certain - this cult had a monumental mission, a purpose that was not yet ready to be revealed to the outside world..and that meant the Knight family was not going to be permitted beyond the high stone walls anytime soon.
