Tony Shiels, author of "13!" and "Something Strange," has presented another collection of masterpieces of "magical" horror!
Considered Shiels' finest work to date, these magical mysteries will make your spine tingle and your heart race, allowing any simple trickster to earn the reputation of a true wizard. If you'd like to expand your spellcraft with a touch of the supernatural, then 'Daemons: Darklings and Doppelgangers' will enable you to fulfill your bloodthirsty ambitions!
From the foreword by Tony Shiels:
"In the uncanny bestiary of the imagination, one finds such fabulous creatures as daemons, darklings, doppelgangers... and a thousand other assorted forms. Most of the time, we keep them safely locked away in our minds, but when they catch us unaware as we sleep, they pick the locks with nimble talons and escape to haunt our nightmares and keep us in trembling wakefulness. Some of them, it seems, escape altogether through dark incantations and roam free as ghosts, goblins, griffins, ogres, harpies, and monstrous night-forms of all sorts and shapes.
Humans are, of course, the strangest creatures of all, and one of their many quirks is their delight in fear. As we all know, fear isn't necessarily a painful emotion; it can also be thrilling and exciting, and therefore plays an important role in the world of entertainment. Since the distant days of Robertson's magic lantern phantasmagorias, people have paid good money to be scared out of their seats by an elaborate spooky display. Robert Bloch, Christopher Lee, Forrest Ackerman, Boris Karloff, and many other full-time scaremongers would be out of work if people didn't delight in the unsettling yet entertaining presence of non-human beings. So... I opened my mind and let out the horrors of scarecrows, which make up a large part of this, my third book of tricks.
