Kino Lim is young, Singaporean, and gay. Repulsed by his sexuality, he joins a fundamentalist church, hoping to pray away the gay-but the congregation's perverted pastor betrays Kino to a soul-devouring demon. Known as Samon, the demon loathes queers, and he can't wait to consume Kino's failing soul.Samon's demonic powers include slowing time and disappearing his enemies into thin air. He's got a horde of living zombies at his command. All but invincible, Samon murders everyone who gets in his way, and it won't be long until he tracks down Kino in the outskirts of Taipei.Kino's last, best hope is a motley bunch of sassy fighters: his boy-next-door Taiwanese roommate, a trigger-happy lesbian cop, one crazy rideshare driver with fists even faster than her mouth, and a cleaning lady who moonlights as a witch. With the help of a blind woman time-traveling from the future and a mystical force that lives beneath Taipei, will this band of spunky warriors find a way to defeat all-powerful evil?Set in buzzing Taipei, "To Kill A Demon" is a fast-paced tale of gothic horror that races forward to a twisty, jaw-dropping finale. Its lush prose and powerful themes-sexuality, identity, courage and solidarity, the power of love, family, and friendship-will stay with the reader long after turning the last page.If you're a fan of horror or dark fantasy by grandmasters like Stephen King, Shirley Jackson, or Neil Gaiman, you're going to love "To Kill A Demon." And if you enjoy queer horror and David and Goliath underdog stories full of sass, this book is for you!Scroll up and
