*** Finalist, The SPR Book Awards, 2021 *** When evil comes calling, it's time to find out what you're made of. A hateful demon devouring lost souls. A young man whose spirit is dying. And an East Asian megacity where the everyday heroes are humankind's last, best hope in the struggle against evil. In league with a corrupt priest, a body-swapping demon has bought young Kino Lim's soul. The demon loathes gays, and Kino's the perfect young, homosexual, in denial. Known as Samon, the demon wields superhuman powers. He can slow time and disappear enemies into thin air. He has a horde of living zombies at his command. All but invincible, Samon murders everyone who gets in his way, and it won't be long until he tracks down Kino in the outskirts of Taipei. Kino's last, best hope is a motley bunch of plucky his boy-next-door Taiwanese roommate, a trigger-happy lesbian cop, one crazy rideshare driver with fists even faster than her mouth, and a cleaning lady who moonlights as a witch. With the help of a blind woman time traveling from the future and a mystical force that lives beneath Taipei, will this band of spunky warriors find a way to defeat all-powerful evil? Set in buzzing Taipei and sultry Singapore, "To Kill A Demon" is a fast-paced tale of gothic horror that races forward to a twisty, jaw-dropping finale. Its lush prose and powerful themes—sexuality, identity, courage and solidarity, the power of love, family, and friendship—will stay with the reader long after turning the last page. If you're a fan of horror or dark fantasy by grandmasters like Stephen King, Shirley Jackson, or Neil Gaiman, you're going to love "To Kill A Demon." And if you enjoy spicy horror and David and Goliath underdog stories full of sass, this book is for you! Scroll up and grab your copy now!
