The Boy Who Killed Demons — Dave Zeltserman

“My name's Henry Dudlow. I'm fifteen and a half. And I'm cursed. Or damned. Take your pick. The reason? I see demons.”

In dreary Newton, MA, nothing ever happens―at least not until Hendry Dudlow turns thirteen and notices that his neighbor has become decidedly ... different. While everyone else seems to think Mr. Hanley is just another balding man with a beer belly, Henry can see what the real Mr. Hanley is: a gruesome, bilious, rage-filled demon.

Suddenly Henry begins to see demons lurking everywhere, and his quiet life in Newton is transformed. Instead of seeing his friends or the lovely Sally Freeman, Henry must translate an ancient text and hunt down the demonic killers of a gaggle of innocent children. In the meantime, his grades are getting worse, his parents are catching on to his lies, and there's no one he can tell about the horrors going on around him.

A terrifying thriller with flashes of humor and great verve, The Boy Who Killed Demons is Dave Zeltserman's most accomplished and entertaining horror novel yet, now available in paperback.
