  A cursed teenager must contend with the flames of adolescence—and rescue kids from the flames of hell—in this humorous tale of terror. 
   
  “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.”  
   
  So begins the latest novel by horror master Dave Zeltserman. The setting is quiet Newton, Massachussetts, where nothing ever happens. Nothing, that is, until two months after Henry Dudlow’s thirteenth birthday, when his neighbor, Mr. Hanley, suddenly starts to look . . . different. While everyone else sees a balding man with a beer belly, Henry suddenly sees a nasty, bilious, rage-filled demon.  
   
  Once Henry catches onto the real Mr. Hanley, he starts to see demons all around him, and his boring, adolescent life is transformed. There’s no more time for friends or sports or the lovely Sally Freeman—instead Henry must work his way through ancient texts and hunt down the demons before they steal any more innocent children. And if hunting demons is hard at any age, it’s borderline impossible when your parents are on your case, and your grades are getting worse, and you can’t tell anyone about your chosen mission.  
   
  A very scary novel written with verve and flashes of great humor, The Boy Who Killed Demons is Dave Zeltserman’s most accomplished and entertaining horror novel yet.  
   
  Praise for The Boy Who Killed Demons 
   
  “Like Stephen King, Dave Zeltserman makes the incredible come alive.” —Bookreporter.com 
   
  “Amusing. . . . Zeltserman manages the voice of a teenager deftly, and the adolescent angst rings true. The demons are almost background to a tale about growing up. Zeltserman has written an entertaining novel but not one that will keep you from turning off the lights.” —Kirkus Reviews

  Imagine what lies beyond this world, where we might all find ourselves when we die.  The veil between this world and the next is thin, but the path that leads from it to final rest is too appealing for most to continue than retrace and come back.  Sometimes, only love can bring someone back from that place, can make them want more than what the path beyond the veil offers.  One little girl must make that choice, must decide which life is worth living more than the other.
