What They're Saying
Critics Review
Praise for Prosper’s Demon:
“As if Deadpool had slipped into the body of the Witcher Geralt.” –The New York Times“Rich with spiky ideas and with Parker’s inimitable and always entertaining voice.” –Locus
“A fresh take on the well-trod demonic possession trope…[that] will draw in fans of dark speculative fiction, especially admirers of Martha Wells and Grady Hendrix.” –Library Journal
Additional Praise for K. J. Parker
“Parker maintains a cool and detached atmosphere, giving the work the feel of a stately court dance and not a blood-racing tarantella.” –Publishers Weekly, starred review on The Hammer
“The duo’s sparring is clever enough that Parker cheerfully stays one step ahead of the reader until the last moment, making for a satisfying conclusion.” –Publishers Weekly, starred review on The Devil You Know
