"Johnny Compton became one of my favorite horror authors with his debut, The Spite House , and Devils Kill Devils is a high octane followup that starts with a bang and never lets up.

Since devils are in the title twice, you know you''re in for a wild ride!" --Tananarive Due, author of The Reformatory "A heart-pounding thrill ride from first to final page, Devils Kill Devils grabs you by the throat and refuses to let go.
