If you enjoy Jim Butcher'sDresden Files; Terry Brooks'Running with Demons (Word and the Void) and Armageddon's Children(Genesis of Shannara Trilogy); Demon Moon in The Guardian Series by Meljean Brook, Larry Correia'sMonster Hunter International, or Patricia BriggsWhen Demons Walk you will love the Crimson Pact series.

"Almost 30 years later The Crimson Pact supplants Clive Barker'sBooks of Blood series as the modern compendium of fantasy horror short stories.... Whether you buy these for yourself or someone else, any horror, suspense, or dark fiction fan should enjoy the collection." - Lance Roth at BlogCritics.org

"The demons are not your typical straight-from-Hell, pitchfork-tailed monstrosities, or (perhaps) even in any realistic sense of the term 'native' to Earth. No, the demons you will encounter in The Crimson Pact are rather more like H. P. Lovecraft's Great Old Ones - unknowable creatures from beyond the Void, waiting only their opportunity to invade helpless earths and rule them with devastation and despair." - Author Michael Collings

"I applaud those who brainstormed this, and I can hardly wait to read the Crimson Pact, Volume 2. If you haven't partaken of this little jewel, I encourage you to do so, but beware, what lies beneath a mortal's skin could be something marvelously demonic." - MKHorror.com
