Product Description

Product Description
23-year-old Martyn has a dead-end job, a miserable family, few friends and no love life. Then he meets a Spancialosaphus Lacrimosae, his own personal demon. Spanky's friendship brings confidence, the good life, a better job, a girlfriend. But Spanky is a demon, and Martyn has a price to pay.

By David Gore (Liverpool, England) - See all my reviews
Bought this book as a staff recmmendation in a bookshop never having read anything by Christopher Fowler before but i will admit it was an excellent and enjoyable experience to read it. Get to the half way mark and see if you can see where the book is headed, bet you don't get it!!, i will be reading more Christopher Fowler from now on

5.0 out of 5 stars Even my girlfriend loved it!, 14 April 2000
By Peter Lee (Manchester ,United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is probably Christopher Fowler's "lightest" novel in that the horror isn't quite as visceral as usual. Instead, he has opted to tell a tale of demonic possession which gradually turns from good to very, very bad. Even my girlfriend read it and thought it was great (praise indeed!) Another winner from Fowler and, if you enjoy it, get "Personal Demons" and read the first story - "Spanky's Back In Town" - for more of the same!

5.0 out of 5 stars My favourite book, 3 Jan 2006
By A Customer
Excellent book, my absolute favourite. I have read it so many times and I still love it. The first half of the book is so exciting and happy you can't put it down and then the second half of the book is so dramatic and nerve racking you can't put it down! A definite recommendation for everyone, even if you're not a big horror fan!!
