Demonesque

by Steven Lee Climer

Rick Gilroy, the new detective in Huron City, Michigan, thought that getting out of big city policework promised a future of relative ease. Then a series of dead women shatter his plans for a quiet life in the placid resort town. Things get even more complicated when Moreen Valentino, a beautiful psychic who can raise the dead, and Ed Cooper, an insurance adjustor forced into early retirement by the Sumerian god of pestilence, get involved in the case.

[John · Rating 2 out of 5]

A very light horror novel that I couldn't decide whether or not was meant to be taken seriously. Apart from one very oringinal, interesting character, everything about the book felt like the same-old-same-old. Could have been good if Climer had put a bit more effort into writing it...

This was my second novel and it also did quite well. The original short story won the Memphis Science Fiction Association's Darrell Award. It was also optioned as a movie.
