Bram Stoker Award finalist Michael Laimo delivers his most horrifying novel yet!
Is Bev Mathers going crazy? He's been hearing chilling voices in his head, seeing nightmarish visions that just can't be true. And it keeps getting worse and worse. No, unfortunately for Bev, he's completely sane. What's taking control of him is far more terrifying than insanity. And it has an unimaginable purpose...
Bev has become an innocent pawn in an infernal game, a victim of hellish forces beyond understanding. His visions of blood and debauchery are growing more ghastly every day. Some of them -- the most shocking -- are real. Bev can feel his mind, his body, his very soul slipping away. Will his only hope or his eternal damnation come from... the demonlogist?
The Demonologist edition by Michael Laimo Literature Fiction eBooks
After reading Deep in the Darkness and enjoying it very much, I wanted to see if Michael Laimo was able to meet my high expectations (the way he did for Deep in the Darkness) for Demonologist,thus being the 2nd book I have read by him I can most certainly say that he not only met my expectations but he scared my pants off as well.I have never read a book that had such intense characters as both Bev and Allieb (aka Demonologist,Belial, Abbadon,Ahmed) before. They were not only intense but they were always interesting and kept the story going at a fast pace and had me coming up with assumptions and accusations in my head while reading the book,also allowing me to visualize what was actually taking place as if I were apart of the story too.
I will also say that Allieb had to be my favorite character in this book,maybe it was due to his multiple personalities that caught my attention and kept me entertained as well, BUT he did give me two bad dreams as well....which proves that Michael Laimo can do his job well as a Horror Writer since he was able to scare me to death in away no other Author ever has. I also enjoyed the ending to this book very much and thought that Bev had made the right decision. (Dont want to give the story nor ending away).
I recommend this book and give it two thumbs up and will be looking forward to the release of his next book entitled "Fires Rising".

The Demonologist edition by Michael Laimo Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Michael Laimo had a lot to live up to after his stellar Bram Stoker nominated second novel, "Deep In The Darkness". Mix a little of "Legion Exorcist 3", "Angel Heart", and "Eyes Wide Shut" and you have "The Demonologist". A very interesting first 100 pages creates an atmosphere of solid paranoia and suspense. Pieces of the puzzle begin to fall nicely into place until the priest explains for over 20 pages everything that is going on, leaving most of the mystery solved by the middle of the book. At that point, information is given to our protagonist (and the audience) a little too easily. The ending, as well, seemed rushed and tacked on too nonchalantly. However, the idea of God fighting along side of Satan to fight an even greater evil was fascinating and should stir up a little controversy. Overall, this book was well written and had a few chilling moments, but I would still recommend "Deep In The Darkness" to highlight the author's impressive talents.
SPOILER When the characters reach the motel, it is four o'clock in the morning. The desk clerk apparently recognized them from the news reports earilier that night and informed the police. However, the characters slept until nine thirty before they were apprehended at the motel by the authorities -- meaning that the police took 5 and 1/2 hours to get there!
So you're an aging rock star... well they say your aging, you are in your forties... but you only just hit the big time with your last album, anyway - so you just finished a 9 month tour, get home to your daughter and suddenly you have problems. Not your normal rock star problems, instead you have headaches, terrible nightmares, visions and hallucinations. Then you have that strange guy following you, and an invitation that seems more of a threat than a party...
This is a book about possession, our main character Bev (yes, Bev is a guy) is showing all of the signs of being possessed, people around him are now in precarious positions, his daughter goes missing and suddenly there is a priest who shows up that seems to know what is going on.
This was a very mediocre horror book, not that the premise wasn't interesting. We have page after page of Bev's dreams which are just excuses for gore and sexual perversion and until the end, don't add anything to the story itself. Most of our characters are very flat, we don't have much background or even a chance to get to like Bev before he's having issues. The writing style gets a bit tedious and the flipping back and forth between our good guys and bad guys really takes a lot of the mystery out of the nasties. The basis of the plot is that a 2000 year old demonologist who had attempted to gain the power of Legion (the 13 demons that Jesus cast out of a man and into a herd of swine) but was foiled in his first attempt, is now possessing a man in LA and is re-attempting his original plan.
Even though this book is pretty easy to follow, it feels very muddled. I think this is because we keep switching points of view and then back and forth between the dreams and the voices in his head. Then we keep jumping back and forth between times (LOTS of flashbacks). When we finally get to our big battle and it's really not that great... I mean sure there is plenty of blood, but there is a lot that is glossed over. And the ending... do yourself a favor and stop reading before you get to the last 3 pages, because that completely blows the rest of the book.
This is the second Laimo book that I have read, and I enjoyed the first one "Dead Souls" immensely. This book however was more of a snoozefest for me. Much of what is here comes across as a slightly garbled mess of influences and ideas that never quite came together as a cohesive polished story. There were parts of this book that were quite good, however as a whole it never solidified into a full story. I found myself struggling to read through the dream sequences, which although quite gory and filled with repulsive sexual exploits of demons, were boring to me. I mean you can only read about someone standing in lava and watching demons "doing" their daughter for so many pages.
Now I am a Christian, but I admit that I'm not entirely up on the Bible... but from what I understand the tale that this is taken from doesn't completely mesh with the story in this book. I can't really comment on specifics other than perhaps the rounding of the dates to 2000 years but I'm not going to fault Laimo for rounding.
I generally do longer reviews, but I don't want to come across as a hater, because as I said... some parts of this book were pretty good, and the idea itself was interesting enough. If you are just looking for a mindless read that goes by pretty quick then this should suffice. I just wouldn't go out of your way to buy it. Laimo is a good writer, just not in this particular book.
I've read better, and I've read worse, but Mr. Laimo has an easy writing style, so I'd be happy to get another of his books. I agree with the previous reviewer who said it kind of felt rushed, that was the feeling I had also. But, to be fair, there were certain key elements he brought to the table with The Demonologist. The essential creepy buildup, some of the scenes were rendered quite effectively, and I was up quite a few hours reading them. Not the best book I've read, but I like his style so I'd read another by him definitely.
Very interesting story. Wish there was a sequel.
