Demon King
2019 Top Shelf Book Awards Suspense First Place Winner Only three children survived the terrors of Oneka Falls, New York in 1979. Each of them paid a terrible price and had to survive as best they could--wrapped in fantasy, the comfort of amnesia, or the silence of self-imposed isolation. Twenty-eight years later, they are drawn together to once again face the town's horrible secrets--the horde of demons infesting Oneka Falls. But the strongest of the demons is the one who terrorized them as children... Can they survive another confrontation with the Demon King? Critical Acclaim for Demon King: ★★★★★ "Vick's dark, tense thriller pits young kids--and their older selves--against a demonic evil and his twisted daughters in Upstate New York... Vick bounces the story line between eras effectively, and the tension never lets up. Stephen King fans will enjoy spotting the references that Vick sprinkles throughout in homage... [T]he thrills and horrors are engrossing."--Publisher's Weekly ★★★★★ "While favorably compared to Stephen King's IT--in particular--and King & Koontz in general, by hundreds of reviews, I found the novel just as close to Stranger Things..."--Robert W. Walker, TopShelf Reviews ★★★★★ "Vick's (Errant Gods, 2017, etc.) supernatural horror story is evocative of Stephen King's work in its use of a small-town setting and a gang of friends facing a powerful evil."--Kirkus Reviews ★★★★★ "What do you get when you mix elements of fear, mystery, suspense, foreshadowing and a perfectly gripping plot? Give up? Well... if all of these elements are woven together in a seamless piece of writing, you will end up with one fantastic horror story! This is exactly the case with Erik Henry Vick's novel, Demon King."--Leonard Tillerman, leonardtillerman.com ★★★★★ "Demon King is a novel that is impossible to put down. Gripping and intense are only two words to describe the effect of the story, but if horror is your pleasure, that is all you need to hear. Erik Henry Vick is certainly an author to fill you with nightmares. Fabulous story. I loved it!"--Melinda Harris, Readers' Favorite Reviews ★★★★★ "Demon King is a terrifying, thrilling and gripping novel that captivated as well as frightened me from the start...a unique novel with a multi-layered plot that is full of captivating mystery...did have me reading the book in the light!"--redheadedbookloversblog.com What readers are saying: ★★★★★ "This book was like the old Stephen King..." ★★★★★ "The best horror story I've read in years!

Critical Acclaim for The Hag ★★★★★ "This was an intense, scare-your-pants-off novel that will make you want to close your eyes, but not really because you need to know what happens next. Even though I read it in broad daylight, I was a little spooked and just wanted to hide for a little bit. The narrative is beyond amazing, the characters have so much potential... I loved this book! I really love the way Erik Henry Vick writes. He has a gift for weaving pictures with words and making sure the reader is right there in the story with his characters. The atmosphere is sinister from the very beginning and the tension keeps building until the end. This is a fantastic collection."--Rabia Tanveer, Readers' Favorite Reviews ★★★★★ "...a tense dash in the darkness to stay together and survive, filled with sudden violence, enigmatic enemies and strange turns of events...[it] reminded me of Stranger Things where the graphic horror side is really allowed to let rip... I'm constantly awed by the inventiveness of the author to bring larger threats with each novel...[and] the further development of the villainous characters, who are just as integral to the story, and have their own maniacal motivations at play. [T]he dark corners are darker than ever with Vick's usual flair for the shadowy atmospheres in his sharp narrative voice and excellent choice of lexis."--K.C. Finn, Readers' Favorite Reviews ★★★★★"[F]illed with action and disturbing images and these begin right off the bat. The silence, a falling leaf, or a faint footstep echo something sinister in this gritty tale of horrific deeds. Erik Henry Vick comes across as a master weaver of frightful tales; each page is well-spun with action and the kind of suspense that forces the reader to turn to the next page. The prose is beautiful, the plot ingeniously constructed and the characters richly developed. While this is the kind of story that is chilling, it is infused with realism and powerful imagery. It is a masterpiece, indeed."--Romuald Dzemo, Readers' Favorite Reviews What readers are saying ★★★★★ "If you like excitement and suspense, you're gonna love this series!" ★★★★★ "The whole story is just so gripping and just grabs you from the very first page." ★★★★★ "You will never look at the dark corners of a room in the same way again!" ★★★★★ "[T]his author is so good - this book is fabulously-written, with an absolutely compelling storyline that is awesomely creepy." ★★★★★ "If you like demons, dark mystery and terror this book is for you! The storyline is fast-paced and easy to follow. The characters are vast but well-developed. Definitely a good read for a dark, stormy night!" ★★★★★ "It's rare to find a horror/supernatural writer who can write a complex, interwoven story that occurs across decades and write it so compellingly that you just have to know what happens to the characters. This is a writer to watch, people." ★★★★★ "Erik Henry Vick is a master of horror..." ★★★★★ "Really enjoyable and kep

Julius Julius
Nominated for the Atwood Gibson Writers' Trust Fiction Prize. A Globe and Mail Best Book of 2025. A staff pick at Boulder Bookstore, Carmichael's Bookstore, Flying Books, Parnassus Books, Politics & Prose Bookstore, Thank You Bookshop and Type Books. With biting wit, Aurora Stewart de Pe簽a satirizes the creative industry she's spent years in. From the people who brought you the invention of advertising comes Julius Julius, a rambling architectural wonder, outpost of the very first ad man of ancient Pompeii, built on the backs of generations of creative survivors who just want to lie on the floor of a conference room and cry about the lumber account without being sexually harassed. Welcome to the world's oldest advertising agency, where ghosts control the board room AC, an ancient executive assistant runs a cave full of thousand year old billboards, and there are bones in the walls. In a trio of voices from different time periods, we move through the mythical Agency, interrogating the process of stoking desire for a living. We meet the Senior Brand Anthropologist, who's being surprised by dirty bars of Irish Spring she can't remember buying, the Creative Director, whose ascent involved an ad campaign starring his dead best friend, and the Account Supervisor, whose only crime is not being a genius. (But the Fisherman Jack Tuna Campaign was her idea, despite what it says on the awards submissions.) Stewart de Pe簽a's debut novel reveals the cracks in the veneer of the creative industries, and the crisis of consciousness underneath in a novel full of compassion, humour, and blonde sausage dogs.
