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

    Oh yes...
    I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. - Edgar Allan Poe

    Bunch together a group of people deliberately chosen for strong religious feelings, and you have a practical guarantee of dark morbidities expressed in crime, perversion, and insanity. - H.P. Lovecraft

    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.

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
    When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

    bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    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?

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

    some are born to the endless night.

    From what i've read so far, the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant certainly seems to deal with an Ancient Evil.
    Never be cruel and never be cowardly. And if you ever are, always make amends.

    You are a walking talking Doctor Who encyclopedia to me.
