author:  Andrew Pyper 
description: Smart, inventive.this is what demonsliving or otherwise, human or notdo best: they mesmerize, they seduce, they stop us in our tracks.<i>The New York Times Book Review</i><br /><br />"An intense and satisfying supernatural story...The novel underlines Pyper's growing reputation as one of the most talented successors to the inimitable Stephen King."<br /> <i>Daily Mail</i> (UK)<br /><br />"Pyper is a master architect of dread...Compulsive and nerve-jangling, <i>The Damned</i> is a story about personal hells and the relationships that haunt us."<br /> Lauren Beukes, author of <i>The Shining Girls</i> and <i>Broken Monsters</i><br /><br />"Prepare yourself for a sleepless night or two once youve settled in with this smart, suspenseful and absolutely terrifying book that takes the bad seed concept to a whole new level. Pyper has the unique ability to take us to the darkest places and convince us that the things we find there are not only entirely possible and real, but that we might just take some piece of them back with us once we close the cover and turn out the lights."<br />  Jennifer McMahon, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Winter People</i><br /><br />Its an uncommon novel that moves a reader, and a rare one that frightens them, but only the most extraordinary accomplish both at the same time. Enter <i>The Damned</i>, a tour de force that sinks sticky claws into the soft dark places in your psycheand refuses to let go, no matter how you squirm. <br /> Marcus Sakey, author of <i>The Blade Itself</i> and the <i>Brilliance</i> Saga<br /><br /><b><i></i></b>Pyper has a knack for imbuing the ordinary with palpable and frighteningly plausible horror. . . . [His] pacing, as well as the novel's length, is perfect, and his evocative description of Detroit, a city desolate in its decline, comes off as both sad and poetic at the same time. A treat for fans of intelligent treatments of the supernatural and rock-solid writing. <br /> <i>Kirkus Reviews</i><br /><br />The author of relentlessly award-winning best sellers [] returns with more supernatural thrills. <br /> <i>Library Journal</i><br /><br />In this literate supernatural thriller . . . as in the best horror, Pypers keen eye for the quotidian makes the fantastic feel plausible. <br /> <i>Publishers Weekly</i><br /><br /><i>The Damned</i> guarantees many sleepless nights. . . . A novel that will get your heart racing without insulting your intelligence. . . . A supernatural thriller narrated by the author of a popular memoir in the heaven tourism genre is a brilliant conceit. <br /> <i>The Globe and Mail</i> (Canada)<br /><br />As well-written as it is chill-inducing . . . Pypers story darkly explores the connection between two siblings thats forever, but maybe not in the best sense. . . . A masterful conceit.<br /> <i>USA Today</i>, 3.5 out of 4 stars
