King of Hell

by Christopher Golden

Overview

Peter Octavian's powerful sorcery guards his world against evil. Now he must go on a perilous journey to save those condemned to a fate worse than death itself...When Octavian called upon Gaea to rid the Earth of demons, her magic banished not only the demons but also the Shadows--vampires who had foresworn evil and fought alongside him, some for many years. Together with two unlikely companions--a wise-cracking goblin with the ability to walk the paths between worlds, and a demon changeling struggling to come to terms with what he is--Octavian sets out on what seems to be an impossible mission: to free his friends from Hell. There he finds some unexpected figures from his past--and an enemy of his own making, driven by an implacable hatred, whose power is equal to his own and whose quest for vengeance is personal.

Editorial Reviews

"Golden combines quiet, dark, subtle mood with Super-Giant monster action.  Sort of M.R. James meets Godzilla!"

--Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy

"Christopher Golden is one of the most hard-working, smartest, and most talented writers of his generation, and his books are so good and so involving that they really ought to sell in huge numbers.  Everything he writes glows with imagination."

--Peter Straub

"Some of my editor friends tell me that horror fiction is finally starting to make a
comeback after the catastrophic boom and bust in the 1980s. If that's true, writers like Christopher Golden are a big part of the reason."

--George R. R. Martin

"Golden's 1994 book is the template for a score of books that have been published in the years since its publication.  Many of those books have been bestsellers.  Reading Of Saints and Shadows again after so long, I was amazed to realize how many elements now familiar in the vampire and thriller genres appeared in Saints first.  Golden's imagination and expert plotting wove these elements into a startlingly original book, as exciting to read now as it was when it first appeared on the rack.  Of Saints and Shadows should be part of every genre writer's library."

--Charlaine Harris
