title: Demonized (Five Star Paperback)
author:  Christopher Fowler 
description: ?Fowler?s strength lies in the way he unveils the darker side of the ordinary: Demonized is scary precisely because it?s so familiar? fresh and thought-provoking? elegant and playful prose? Guardian ?Thrillingly taut, perverse and nasty imaginings? Independent on Sunday ?Placing his artistry somewhere between HG Wells, Iain Banks and Ian McEwan, Fowler manages to pull off a collision of black humour, thematic elegy, and dark, disturbing imagery through his elegant and energetic prose? Big Issue in the North The horror is subtle, the humour black, and the overall effect disturbing? The Good Book Guide
