Título: How to Make Friends with Demons
Autor: Graham Joyce
Sinopse: William Heaney is a man well acquainted with demons. Not his broken family his wife has left him for a celebrity chef, his snobbish teenaged son despises him, and his daughter's new boyfriend resembles Nosferatu nor his drinking problem, nor his unfulfilling government job, but real demons. For demons are real, and William has identified one thousand five hundred and sixty-seven smoky figures, dwelling on the shadowy fringes of human life, influencing our decisions with their sweet and poisoned voices. After a series of seemingly unconnected personal encounters with a beautiful and captivating woman met in the company of an infuriating poet, a troubled and damaged veteran of Desert Storm with demons of his own, and an old school acquaintance with whom he shared a mystical occult ritual William Heaney's life is thrown into a direction he does not fully comprehend. Past and present collide. Long-dormant choices and forgotten deceptions surface. Secrets threaten to become exposed. To weather the changes, William Heaney must learn one thing: how to make friends with demons.

Sobre a editora
Os livros da editora Night Shade transportam o leitor a universos onde o fantástico, o científico e o sombrio se entrelaçam com intensidade. Seu catálogo revela uma predileção por narrativas que exploram desde o cosmos e a tecnologia avançada até o horror cósmico e o sobrenatural, com histórias que transitam entre o ritmo acelerado de aventuras espaciais e o clima denso do terror psicológico. As sinopses sugerem uma variedade de estilos, incluindo contos curtos e séries longas, que dialogam tanto com fãs de ficção científica hard quanto com leitores de fantasia sombria e horror contemporâneo. A linguagem tende a ser elaborada, com foco em construir atmosferas imersivas e conflitos que envolvem tanto a vastidão do espaço quanto as profundezas da mente humana.
