Product Description

No one has seen Jack Draegerman for 20 years. He lives in a huge fortress known as "The Rock", its interior a crazy structure of labyrinthine, descending corridors, with no way out. But now he has summoned seven apparently unconnected men to visit him, and he's prepared to pay for the privilege.

Customer Reviews

Dark gothic and truly brillant
Fans of Horror and dark gothic films such as the Crow, this is the book to start reading.

The storyline, combies eight diffrent people who are all teaken to see a millionaire recuse, in his own private stronghold. Some by choice, someotherwise.

When they arrive they disocver the true reason why they have been invited. Within this Laws keeps the reader engrossed in his dark gothic and truely fringhting world of Jack Draegerman.

The book itself is a total page turner that leaves you wnating to call in to work sick, just to see what happens next.

With twists and turns at every corner, Deamonic is a truly great read, for any horror fan, and a great buy

Compelling!Draws you in from the start and just won't let go
If you are a fan of the films "The House On Haunted Hill" then read this book. It takes that story to the depths of darkness. From the opening chapters on character selection to the closing finale, this book keeps your attention riveted. The characters build in complexity and motivations come in layer after layer, never leaving you wanting. An excellent offering from another master of horror. Also for fans of Dean R Koontz, I would recommend another Laws book "Somewhere South Of Midnight". Laws books can blend with the tastes of fans of some of the top horror writers of our time. Whether you favour King, Koontz or Herbert, this author will not fail to delight.

Daemonic by Stephen Laws
I reckon the author and his agent wrote these other articles, because the book is absolutely awful. The characters have no depth whatsoever and the ill-justified plot has no credibility. It has a promising start, however this leads into a narrative that reads about as engaging as the companion literature to a platform game. I waded through this book, enduring the wet dishcloth twists, hoping for a grandstand finish- only to be disappointed again.

If you want 'gripping' do not read, borrow or buy this book. You'll find more grip in a Blackpool arcade grabber machine.
