Both the Silmarillion (and other stories of the First and Second Ages) and Lord of the Rings.

I am not sure. I think "ancient evil" is something that must lie outside the Christian system of concepts, or else most everything will fit. http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gif

One that might fit the bill is 'The Wolfen' by Whitley Strieber.
Though in the end the 'evil' is maybe not evil?
One of the best scares I've ever had I think in a Book. Wonder if many of you here have ever read it?

I may have to ponder this one some more My mind is
not fully awake yet enought to think.

The entire Ice People series (47 books) deals with an ancient evil.
Not ancient as in before time, but 3-7 hundred years back.

From what i've read so far, the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant certainly seems to deal with an Ancient Evil.

"Crimson" by Gord Rollo was quite a bit like "It" by SK...
