The Prisoner and I, Demon Are OUT!
Both The Prisoner and I, Demon are out today! Kindle versions only; their print versions should both be available by middle of next week (if not sooner). I’m thrilled that both are out in time for Halloween.
I, Demon is a collection of five different novellas, spanning time periods and dimensions. The Prisoner is one of the stories included in I, Demon, but is also being released as a novella in its own right. It costs 99 cents, making it a good introduction to my work for those who might not otherwise take the risk.
Unlike The Black Prince Trilogy, which has strong horror elements but is, at heart, a romance (if perhaps a romance for the dark-hearted), I, Demon is a collection of straight-up horror. Although fans of The Black Prince Trilogy will recognize one of the stories. If you want something to read, to get you in the Halloween spirit, then this will keep you up at night.
Captured as he attempts to guard the retreat of fleeing colonists, a young naval officer is stripped of all he owns, tortured, and then shipped to a place called, simply, Hell. A prison camp where men kill each other for rations. Where the rations themselves aren’t fit to eat. Where rivers of sewage flow in place of fresh water. Where a man adapts, or dies.
This is his story.
In this brilliant collection of five separate novellas, P.J. Fox takes you into the heart of a Hell that only she could imagine….
Each of the five stories in I, Demon each examines a different kind of demon and, with it, a different form of evil. “A Thousand and One Nights” tells the tale of a girl forgotten, and of the evil that lurks all around us. That, sometimes, appears right under our noses. But that we, in our rush to cross one more thing off that never ending to do list, ignore. Or never perceive at all. “Vampire Winter” is about more than possession; it’s the story of how a man turns into a monster. “The Prisoner” reminds us that depravity needs no supernatural element. “Paranoia” tells the story of a boy who cried wolf just one too many times…so that when a real wolf came knocking on his door in the dead of night, no one believed him. And finally, “The Assassin” illustrates that sometimes the worst evil is the most mundane. A “good” man is often more evil than a stone cold killer ever could be. When, at least, we have the courage to see the world as it is—rather than as we’d choose to imagine.
Enter, if you dare….
Happy reading!
