Watson Fort Worth Star-Telegram A mesmerizing and melancholy narrative voice lends chilling credibility to this exceptional supernatural thriller. --S.J. Watson Publishers Weekly (starred review) A road tour of American-Gothic grotesquery. Effective, literate, nightmarish. --S.J. Watson The Sunday Telegraph (UK) It's impossible to ignore the devils and demons who have a tangible presence in this story, but the novel's deeper pleasure comes from the analysis Ullman applies to these horrors . . . Bring on the devils. --S.J. Watson The New York Times Book Review Pyper is an intelligent writer, steeped in Miltonian symbolism, gifted with language . . . This artful literary exploration of evil's manifestation makes for a sophisticated horror tale. --S.J. Watson Kirkus Reviews Smart, thrilling, and utterly unnerving. Pyper's gift is that he deeply respects his readers, yet still insists on reducing them to quivering children. I like that in a writer. --Gillian Flynn #1 New York Times bestselling author of Gone Girl The intellectual's Stephen King, Pyper lifts a tale of the impossible to the realm of waking nightmare. --S.J.

Watson The National Post (Canada) Part horror, part thriller, all page-turner . . . The Demonologist has all the twisting excitement of a Dan Brown novel, and all the lurid, gory violence of a Stieg Larsson.--S.J. Watson The Globe and Mail (Canada) In the sly, creepy and often-horrific The Demonologist, Andrew Pyper knows how to get under the skin of even the most rational reader.--S.J. Watson Columbus Dispatch Plenty of books claim to be scary, but this is genuinely terrifying, don't-read-late-at-night stuff.
