Demon Tales

Fifteen short stories where demonkind come face to face with humankind, the results are sometimes amusing and sometimes horrifying. What they all have in common is a fast moving style which will keep you entertained from start to finish. There may be some who try to deal with Demons and come to regret it, while others may be lucky and enjoy good fortune.

Bruce Johnson’s tales feature trickery and revenge, demon possession, exorcism, strange new worlds and demon warfare. There are even some moments of dry humour.

These tales are timeless and will appeal to anyone who loves a short story with a twist.

Demonica

Demons walk among us. Whether they meet in glittering fantasy worlds, or on the mean streets of modern cities, when humans encounter demons there will always be a story to tell.In his second collection of demon tales, Bruce Johnson once more entertains his audience with a tantalising mixture of fantasy, horror and even dry humour. Some may be fortunate and manage to triumph over demons through their own bravery, wit, or the mysteries of the occult, while others are lucky indeed if they even manage to escape with their lives.  Featuring battle hardened warriors, runaway lovers and ordinary people caught up in a wide range of plots and settings, these tales are timeless and will appeal to men and women of all ages.

Demonspawn

Ancient prophecies play out on the streets of modern London as the greatest of the Demon Lords plan their path to domination.

“A woman shall have a child, and that child shall be demonspawn, and it shall rise to have riches and power in the world of men, and it shall gain leadership and domination over mankind.”

At first the unsuspecting humans are unaware of their peril, as a rising tide of unexplained events seem to be unrelated. On the wild moorlands of Yorkshire a retired prison officer is torn apart by vicious beasts beneath the eerie light of a blood moon. Churches are desecrated and acts of extreme violence leave the police searching for answers.
