Critical Acclaim for Demon King:
★★★★★ “Vick’s dark, tense thriller pits young kids—and their older selves—against a demonic evil and his twisted daughters in Upstate New York... Vick bounces the story line between eras effectively, and the tension never lets up. Stephen King fans will enjoy spotting the references that Vick sprinkles throughout in homage... [T]he thrills and horrors are engrossing.”—Publisher's Weekly
★★★★★ “While favorably compared to Stephen King’s IT––in particular––and King & Koontz in general, by hundreds of reviews, I found the novel just as close to Stranger Things...“—Robert W. Walker, TopShelf Reviews
★★★★★ “Vick’s (Errant Gods, 2017, etc.) supernatural horror story is evocative of Stephen King’s work in its use of a small-town setting and a gang of friends facing a powerful evil.”—Kirkus Reviews
★★★★★ “What do you get when you mix elements of fear, mystery, suspense, foreshadowing and a perfectly gripping plot? Give up? Well… if all of these elements are woven together in a seamless piece of writing, you will end up with one fantastic horror story! This is exactly the case with Erik Henry Vick’s novel, Demon King.”—Leonard Tillerman, leonardtillerman.com
★★★★★ “Demon King is a novel that is impossible to put down. Gripping and intense are only two words to describe the effect of the story, but if horror is your pleasure, that is all you need to hear. Erik Henry Vick is certainly an author to fill you with nightmares. Fabulous story. I loved it!”—Melinda Harris, Readers' Favorite Reviews
★★★★★ “Demon King is a terrifying, thrilling and gripping novel that captivated as well as frightened me from the start...a unique novel with a multi-layered plot that is full of captivating mystery...did have me reading the book in the light!”—redheadedbookloversblog.com

Demon King
Ancient evils lurk in the Western New York town of Oneka Falls, and they are hungry.
Only three children have encountered them and lived. Psyches fractured, each child has survived as best they could-wrapped in fantasy, the comfort of amnesia, or the silence of isolation When those evils intrude on their lives a second time, it sets a chain of events in action that can only end in destruction. But who will be destroyed, the children or the ancient evils that plague the town?
