Critics Review
“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!” –Tananarive Due, author of The Reformatory
“Devils Kill Devils promises a battle of evil vs evil, and Compton delivers so much more as each taut scene uncovers the next layer of the mesmerizing plot. Once again in the grip of a skilled storyteller, from the first sentence to the end, I could not put down this novel.” –Linda D. Addison, award-winning author, HWA Lifetime Achievement Award recipient and SFPA Grand Master
“A heart-pounding thrill ride from first to final page, Devils Kill Devils grabs you by the throat and refuses to let go. Johnny Compton has made vampires terrifying again!” –Erin A. Craig, #1 New York Times bestselling author of House of Roots and Ruin
“Compton’s command of descriptive prose, tinged with Southern gothic flair, once again shows readers images both beautiful and horrifying.” –Library Journal
“A high-stakes, violent novel, epic in scope, populated by fascinating characters and an original cast of demons.” –Booklist
“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.” –Nat Cassidy, author of Mary: An Awakening of Terror and Nestlings
“Compton has created a blistering mashup of Olympus and Hell in this violent, cunning novel about ancient evil and fallible Gods, and the eternal human conflict about which one to follow.” –Philip Fracassi, author of Boys in the Valley
“The terror builds as we leave the world we thought we knew behind in this grisly tale of angels and demons. Devils Kill Devils is supernatural horror at its best.” –Justin C. Key, author of The World Wasn’t Ready for You
