Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Demons are all around us — most of them are relatively harmless, like the ones that go bump in the night or make you stub your toe. But some are dangerous — some can kill. Since he was orphaned as a boy, Nat has been trained by his aged mentor Daliwahl to be a demonkeeper, controlling a menagerie of demons in their old, rickety house in Seattle. But now Dahliwahl is gone and Nat is on his own.

Keeping demons isn't a very social activity, and when Nat goes on a date with Sandy, a junior librarian's assistant, it's a disaster in more ways that one — while Nat's out, a very scary demon called the Beast escapes. Can Nat get the Beast back to the house and make things right with Sandy — and do it all by himself?

With its fast-paced action, slapstick humor, and a winning, unlikely hero, Demonkeeper is a high-spirited romp that will keep readers glued to the page.

About the Author

Royce Buckingham wrote Demonkeeper late at night while working as a prosecuting attorney by day. He lives with his wife, Cara, in Bellingham, Washington, where he makes up bedtime stories for their boys Aspen, and Aiden, in a big, old, creaky house that some might consider "spooky."

I have had the opportunity to read the 'Demonkeeper' by Royce Scott Buckingham. This author has created a 'can't put down' amazingly unique and finely crafted imaginative, creative, scary, funny, and unique tale. I'm ready to meet more demons and demonkeepers on the streets of Seattle. I hope a sequel is in the making. Fox entertainment has bought the rights. Hurry up Fox, I want to see what you do with this one.
