Following an unnerving phone call from his diabetic mother on Halloween night, Hale and six of his med school classmates return to the house where his sister disappeared years ago — only to find a chilling surprise in store for them. Written as a literary film treatment and littered with pop culture references and footnotes, Demon Theory is a refreshing addition to the “intelligent horror” genre. About the Author Stephen Graham Jones is the author of All the Beautiful Sinners, The Bird Is Gone: A Manifesto, The Fast Red Road: A Plainsong, and Bleed into Me: A Book of Stories. He is an associate professor of English at Texas Tech University.

Review of 'Demon Theory' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

One word, Terrible. First you should be aware that I am deployed and don't have much to do to pass the time. So when I got this book I received it with an open mind, and with out much else to do but read it. Having said that, it was one of the worst books I have ever read. I plowed through the first half dozen chapters until I couldn't stomach it anymore. I threw it down in disgust. I would recommend this book to anyone who thought Scarey Movie was a serious cinematic experience and who is so obsessed with film culture that you can put up with a flat amateur imitation of a script that tells you how you feel.
