4.5 Stars. Where do I even begin with this? So the author warns all readers in the beginning of the violence, sexual nature and gore and if you dont like these things don't read this book. Well I am not one of these people I like all those things I however did not realize the degree of them! The Rakasha demon..she crazy!! The opening story of a biker who encounters the Rakasha left me with my jaw on the floor. Next was the longer stories of the origins of the demon and what not. I was glued to t

Most people who know me suspect there's something deeply wrong with me. When given the choice between reading an uplifting tale of hope and love, or reading something terrifying and/or blood-splattered, I'll take the ghosts and gore nearly every time.

When it comes to the horror genre, I prefer to watch it rather than read it however I was pleasantly shocked when this was recommended through Amazon.

I'm bias. I edited this book. It is a great dive into the world of the Rakasha. It also gives you a great taste for RObert's world of Demons and Demon hunters. This book will leave you wanting more.

My view on this book is going to be skewed, but I thought it was very good, with tight story telling. The warning about 'immature humor and gore' were dead on, but neither stopped me from enjoying this small novella.
