Demons & Devilry, the fourth anthology in the Hersham Horror PenAnth range, brings you five chilling tales of diabolism and black magic. With their twisted roots buried deep in the works of Dennis Wheatley, these stories reach out to embrace even darker, more horrifying, territory. Tremble with fear and wonder at the depraved imaginings of Peter Mark May, Thana Niveau, John Llewellyn Probert, David Williamson and Stuart Young.

Some little rhymes about the stories in Demons & Devilry.

THE ABHORRENT MAN by Peter Mark May

The man is dubbed abhorrent.
And his title is not without warrant.
They ask: "Is he scary?'
I reply: "Opinions vary.
"But he made me empty my bowels in a torrent."

LITTLE DEVILS by Thana Niveau

These kids really are little devils,
With pranks, teasing and revels.
But they get such a fright,
From a horrible sight.
It's terrifying on so many levels.

THE DEVIL IN THE DETAILS by John Llewellyn Probert

The devil is in the details:
Lots of scares, or else tedium prevails.
Some tales of black mass
Need a kick up the ass.
But not with one of JLP's tales.

THE SCRYER by David Williamson

The hero of 'The Scryer'
Is lazy; a cheat and a liar.
He could try to work,
But he'd much rather shirk.
He wouldn't move if his arse caught fire.

GUARDIAN DEVIL by Stuart Young

Despite the odd spell, ritual and hex
This story is all violence, cursing and sex.
But it's not easy
Being this sleazy.
No wonder pulp writers end up nervous wrecks.

Eager to hear about all the aborted cover designs for Demons & Devilry? Tough, I'm going to tell you about them anyway.

Excellent review of Demons & Devilry over at Ginger Nuts of Horror. "Demons & Devilry is a brilliant anthology, one which manages to perfectly balance stories of a lighter tone with more dark and heavy tones."

Well done John Llewellyn Probert, Thana Niveau, Peter Mark May and David Williamson. And me.

I may have to invest a few of my hard earned pennies in a copy of this. Sounds like great fun.

Nice review of Demons & Devilry by Ross Warren. Obviously a man of distinction and good taste. Wait a minute, he doesn't like MY story -- ignore everything he says, he's obviously a complete philistine!

How can anyone not like one of your stories Stu? He obviously hasn't met you and been utterly charmed and placed under your spell. I am a great fan of your work. In fact, such a great fan that I have covered the walls of my cellar with photographs of you, some of which I have ripped to shreds with a knife because you haven't returned my calls. But I'll find you, I know where you live...

Cheers
Terry
