Overview
"An allegory for our time, full of creepy splendorand excitement . . . Demons is a brave andsmart book. Read it if you dare."-San Francisco Bay Guardian
"Demons is funny, outrageous, and frightening, and, as a metaphor for our times, it works frighteningly well."-Rocky Mountain News
In a future uncomfortably close to the present day, the apocalypse has surpassed all expectations. Hideous demons roam the streets in an orgy of terror, drawing pleasure from torturing humans as sadistically as possible. Ira, a young San Francisco artist, becomes involved with a strange group of scientists and philosophers desperately trying to end the bloody siege. But the most shocking revelation is yet to come. . . .
Praise for Demons
