Resumen del Editor

The demon, known only as "Jakerbok", is a major force of evil then and now. He taunts the listener to "Burn this audiobook" throughout this satanically autobiographical monologue, for he has embedded his very self inside each word....as a long-dormant vehicle for the dark forces to finally conquer all things good and holy in this world.

A one-man (or, rather a one-demon) narrative, in which this medieval devil speaks directly to the listener, is sure to become an instant classic for all fans of major "good vs. evil" literary works. This is the first known time that the voice of a major demon has ever been realized in audiobook form, in which it speaks directly, as in a poker game, to the listener.

Featuring shockingly crafted dialogue and details of the epic hell that the "author" can - and promised to - unleash if this work is circulated, the storyline of this short fiction has Jakerbok explaining his "roots" in this world to the listener. He goes back centuries, to his childhood traumas at the hands of his own parents, who are themselves super demons.

The story then tells the saga of how Jakerbok rose from being a "minor" demon to a "major" demon. It culminates with his insidious plot to "invade" the minds and hearts of all humankind everywhere via this very book, which contains the ancient demon's actual power deep within every word.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"[An] offbeat novel in the form of a minor demon's diary." ( Publishers Weekly)

love

loved it..... the speaker was amazing for this book.. cant wait to get more...best I have read in a long time

I enjoyed it

Will probably buy a physical copy too. Told my friends about this book cause it was that cool :)

Delightful trying to be evil!

This story even gets better in the retelling; this is my fourth time thru over the years. and still getting better. Poor Botch, when he learns what his name means, his love for a fellow demon...well, listen to the incredible reader and be prepared to have those little face aches from smiling.

What an Adventure!

Huge fan of the author. This book was fun, exciting, and an overall great adventure. I could get lost in this book all day... and I did. I've read the book at least 5 times, so having a chance to listen to it in the car, on my way to and from work is just awesome.

Great but a little nagging..

This was an interesting tale of a tortured demon that goes on to leave his home and venture into the human world, finding that the human world is also comprised of angels and demons. A lot of fun gorey details mixed with a few minor comedic moments, this was a very good story, but I couldn't help be VERY annoyed by the demon pleading with you every chapter to "burn this book" sometimes going on and on with all of the horrible things he is going to do to you if you don't burn the book. I'm a big fan of Clive Barker, but this wasn't my favorite book, based onthat alone. If you can choose to ignore those parts, the rest of the story was pretty good.

Great book!

A great, short book to keep your interest throughout! Give this book to a friend! Lol.

An amazing story

Absolutely loved the story. The performance was stunning. It sounded exactly how I imagined the characters would sound.

What can I say? It's a Clive Barker novel. Humorous, disturbing, interesting...I even feel sad doe Botch sometimes. Great read!
