About this title

Review:

Praise for "God's Demon":
"Fascinating."
--Guillermo del Toro, Director of "Hellboy" and "Pan's Labyrinth"

"Scary stuff? Maybe. Gross and hideous and disgusting? Now and then. There's also hope and loyalty and internecine plotting--politics as usual and unusual....Hopes, fears, escapes, affections, acceptances all roil in the ashy smokes above and around the characters."
"--The San Diego Union-Tribune
""A fascinating novel that will ring true to anyone who has ever hoped for forgiveness."
"--Booklist" (Starred Review)

"A fierce and stout narrative that echoes certain other fantasy classics even more so than it does the canonical authors Milton and Dante, while retaining a splendid novelty of conception....given all these inflowing currents into the mighty river of Barlowe's own imagination, the book attains a weighty magnificence."
--SciFi.com
"Hell's denizens struggle for redemption in this evocative epic fantasy . . . [Barlowe] succeeds; at some points, his depictions of both the grandeur and the horror of Hell even surpass his original paintings and drawings . . . a vivid travelogue of a place we'd all like to avoid."
--"Kirkus Reviews
""Best known for extraordinarily imaginative fantasy art, Barlowe now sets his talents to writing equally compelling speculative fiction . . . a compelling view of Hell and of a demon who seeks redemption."
--"Publishers Weekly
""An electrifying, chilling trip through the netherworld. The landscape is so well depicted, you can smell the brimstone and feel the despair."
--"Romantic Times BOOKreviews" (A Top Pick)
