Why we’re excited about this book:
Johnny Compton hit the ground running with his debut novel, and now he’s ready to take the horror fiction world by storm with his latest. The author of The Spite House, Compton’s short fiction has appeared in such publications as Obsolescence, Death in the Mouth, Strange Horizons, The NoSleep Podcast, Nightlight Podcast, Pseudopod, On the Premises, and Arkham Tales, among others. Compton is also the host of the Behind Your Face There is a Place Podcast. With his new novel, Compton takes us on a wild ride against the hordes of Hell in a nightmarish evil vs. evil battle to the very end. Nat Cassidy (Mary, Nestlings) says: “As full of twists and turns as a coil of barbed wire and twice as gripping. Devils Kill Devils is straight-up jaw-dropping in all the ways it subverts our preconceptions of beloved monsters. Count me in for everything Johnny Compton writes next.”, and Tananarive Due (The Reformatory) says: “Johnny Compton became one of my favorite horror authors with his debut, The Spite House, and Devils Kill Devils is a high octane follow-up that starts with a bang and never lets up. Compton has a gift for reimagining familiar horror tropes and making them wholly fresh with his unflinching storytelling, thoughtful worldbuilding and grounded characters. Since devils are in the title twice, you know you’re in for a wild ride!”
Why Johnny’s excited about this book:
“Devils Kill Devils gives me a chance to unleash a more severe and savage style of horror. Similar to The Spite House, it’s a horror story with heart fully on display, but also with actual hearts in a bag, a couple of massacre scenes inspired by Near Dark and The Terminator, and competing apocalyptic threats. It’s relentless, tragic, triumphant, and terrifying, and I can’t wait to generate nightmares with it.”
Releasing from Tor Nightfire 24 September 2024, Devils Kill Devils by Johnny Compton is available for pre-order now.
