A modern-day teenager named Randy becomes fascinated with the occult after discovering an ancient and mysterious book titled ‘Lamps of the Devil’. As his obsession grows, strange and increasingly sinister events begin to occur. His parents grow concerned as Randy begins to change, becoming distant and increasingly fixated on dark forces. As the influence of the book deepens, Randy finds himself drawn into a world of black magic, unaware of the true cost of dabbling in forbidden knowledge. His descent forces those around him to confront the power of evil – and what it takes to resist it. Hear the story in CBS Radio Mystery Theater!
