He’s the Devil

‘Magnetic, claustrophobic, and wickedly alive. Charged with darkly disarming humour, it’s a story that creeps beneath the skin’ Lucy Rose, author of The Lamb

‘A truly revolting masterpiece. Disgusting, depraved, poetic…and impossible to put down. If Stephen King, Ottessa Moshfegh and John Waters had a baby – it’s this brilliant book.’ Jodie Harsh, author of You Had to Be There

‘Brash and unapologetic, Coventry prioritises propulsion, shock and atmosphere. The scenes arrive hard and fast. Confident, confrontational and compulsively readable.’ Literary Review

‘Demon twinks rise up! This is gloriously gay and downright sinful’ Attitude

‘I love this diabolical debut about betrayal, demonic possession and the biggest horror of all: renting with a stranger. Sharp, claustrophobic and creepy as hell, with a wicked lick of humour.’ Alice Slater, author of Death of a Bookseller

‘Wild and playful. This book will crawl into you like a parasite and you’ll love every minute of it’ Virginia Feito, author of Mrs March

‘Horny. Gory. Relatable.’ Kirsty Logan, author of Things We Say in the Dark

‘Prose so electric it crackles, propulsive, sexy, and smart.’ Hester Musson, author of The Beholders

‘Poetic, razor-sharp, and weirdly tender. It’s for anyone who’s ever been lonely or anyone who’s ever been bad—which is to say, all of us.’ Krystelle Bamford, author of Idle Grounds

‘Filthy, feral, and irresistibly queer. This is gay longing at its most grotesque and delicious’ Seth Insua, author of Human, Animal

‘Campy, deliciously gross and visceral, it makes us question if there’s something irresistibly depraved lurking within all of us.’ Ahana Virdi, author of Sour Fruit

‘A wonderfully discomfiting materialist fable about loneliness, disgust, and desire – hot, heady stuff!’ Avery Curran, author of Spoiled Milk

‘Deliciously dark and slyly funny. A tale about loneliness and seeking connection and a wickedly weird, spine-tingling ride.’ Marisa Kashino, author of Best Offer Wins
