Description
How does an ordinary man defy pure evil?
A demon that devours lost souls. A young man whose spirit is slowly failing. And evil’s worst nightmare—ordinary people ready to fight for each other.
In league with a corrupt priest, a body-swapping demon has bought young Kino Lim's soul. Now he's coming to collect. The demon will stop at nothing—extortion, blackmail, assault, kidnap, murder and massacre—until he gets his way. How can an ordinary man defy ruthless, all-powerful evil?
Kino must turn to an unlikely bunch of everyday heroes to fight back: his amiable roommate, a trigger-happy female cop, a headstrong rideshare driver, and one no-nonsense cleaning lady. With the help of a mysterious blind woman from the future and a mystical force that lives beneath the city, can Kino Lim and his friends defeat the devil?
Set in vibrant modern Taipei, this is a fast-paced tale of fantastic horror that races ahead in twists and turns to a jaw-dropping finale. Its shimmering prose and sharp-edged themes—identity, authenticity, courage and solidarity, the power of love, family, and friendship—will move the reader long after turning the last page.
If you’re a fan of horror or dark fantasy by grandmasters like Stephen King, Dean Koontz, James Herbert, Shirley Jackson, or Neil Gaiman, you’re going to love “To Kill A Demon.”
