A Demon Hunter with a gift that becomes a curse. A Demon that hunts the hunter. A thrilling tale of darkness and vengeance for fans of the TV series 'Supernatural'.

"A thrilling game of supernatural cat and mouse." - Publishers Weekly

"A fast-paced thriller filled with all the gore of a disemboweled beast. In the world of demon-slaying tales, this novel is unique." - City Book Review

Drew Price has a gift, or perhaps a curse.

When a demon possesses a person, Drew can see the horrific-looking demon that dwells within. This ability has made him a demon hunter, armed with the one weapon that can send these fiends back to Hell; the demon dagger.

A demon named Nicobar sets its sights on punishing this hunter. It starts by taking the soul of Drew’s son, condemning the boy to life as a psychopath.

This fast-paced, chilling novel follows Drew’s attempt to save his son’s soul and then use the blade to end Nicobar’s time on Earth.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“A hugely entertaining story of all-too-human heroes battling soul-devouring demons. James' best novel yet!" -- Tim Waggoner, author of We Will Rise

“Demons. Possession. Stolen souls. And a body count that’s rising. Demon Dagger delivers all this and more as novice demon hunter Drew Price must stop one of Hell’s most powerful archdemons before the creature destroys Drew’s family. Russell James doesn’t pull any punches as this story races to a thrilling climax. Warning: don’t read Demon Dagger at night, because you won’t be able to put it down until you finish it, and you’ll end up getting no sleep!” -- JG Faherty, author of The Wakening and Sins of the Father

"James (Lambs Among Wolves) makes a familiar trope fresh in this gripping horror novel ... a thrilling game of supernatural cat and mouse." -- Publishers Weekly

"Chock full of action, perfect for horror fans who like their reads quick." -- Booklist

"Demon Dagger is a quick read and a solid four stars, an immensely enjoyable page-turner that wastes no time and will keep you engrossed right from the beginning." -- Matthew Davis, Grimdark Magazine

"I am a great fan of Russell James’s stories. He creates great atmosphere, authentic settings and characters, and cool plots. Demon Dagger is no exception [...] Great Story. Don't miss it." -- Cat Cavendish, author of IN DARKNESS SHADOWS BREATHE

"Russell James and Flame Tree Press is a good match and a recipe for an exciting and terrifying tale [...] Demon Dagger is an entertaining and sometimes terrifying tale of the struggle of good against evil. James keeps the novel flowing quickly throughout and the action is almost non-stop." -- Josef Hernandez

FINALLY, A Good Supernatural to Read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 6, 2022

Verified Purchase

If you like books with Demons against the Good, this is a Must Read!!!
So many of the books coming out now with the evil versus good premise are just silly bubblegum reads and I could write a book, pun intended, on the many silly vampire, witches books.
Mr James, thank you for giving me a story that kept me reading until the end. I am 72 years old and have read some really good books in this genre and many many bad. You sir have told a compelling story that I would recommended to anyone.
After finishing this review I am going to see what other stories you have penned

Another fantastic tale by Russell James. He never disappoints when it comes to delivering a thrilling adventure. I loved the take on costumed characters in this story. I know this is vague but you’ll just have to read it to find out what I mean.

Exciting Ride Into The World Of Demons Among Us!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 30, 2022

"Flame Tree Press" is the "go to" publisher when you are looking for a fine assortment of the best horror books written by well known and also new authors.

In 1995 Drew Price was only thirteen years old when he started seeing terrifying monsters and when he told his mother she immediately brought him to a few different psychiatrists which didn't help of course until one who said he believed Drew and there were others who have seen these monsters so he introduced him to Lincoln (demon hunter), the man who would change Drew's life.

Twenty-five years later Drew works for the Los Angeles Sheriff's department and is married and has a seven year old son (Kenny) whom he adores and he is very happy and content with his life especially since he hasn't seen a demon again since 1995. Drew has never shared his demon past with his wife thinking he was protecting her and also knowing she would think he had severe mental issues. Now, he comes across a demon and realizes more and more people are losing their souls to these abominations. After a demon takes a soul, the person will have no moral compass left in his conscience and they become true psychopaths who become the worst humans living because they will hurt, maim, kill without any remorse and will never stop. When the archdemon (the top gun and the most powerful of all demons) hears of Drew, it decides to target little Kenny since this will bring Drew down to his knees knowing his son will be a a soulless psychopath the rest of his life. Literally, at this point "All hell breaks loose".

This book was such an enjoyable and fast-paced horror story and not your typical " good versus evil " either. Don't expect priests or exorcism in this book or you will be disappointed. The creative writing and storytelling by "Russell James" made this story extra fun and entertaining as a horror novel and I certainly hope there will be a sequel because Drew is a character I would love to see in more books. The demons are very frightening characters especially visually which I loved reading about but I would never want to have the "gift or curse" that Drew had. I also loved that this was a contemporary novel, relatable and easy to read and understand. There is subtle humor throughout which helps break up the tension.of the horrific deeds and situations that the demons bring to this book. I wasn't a fan of the wife, not very likeable, although she did improve (imo) by the end of the story. I highly recommend this book to any horror lover who would like to read a really, entertaining and lighter fare than the devastatingly dark and morbid ones that are out there.

I want to thank the publisher "Flame Tree Press" and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this horror novel and any thoughts or opinions expressed are unbiased and mine alone!

I have given this fantastic horror book a rating of 4 EXCITING AND DEMONIC 🌟🌟🌟🌟 STARS!!

Simple Demon Story

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 16, 2022

Demon Dagger by Russell James is a fast paced thrilling ride. It is under the horror genre, but I would say this is leaning more toward a thriller with some horrorish scenes. There isn’t a lot of thrilling action about the last three-fourths of the book. But it is a fun and exciting adventure!

The story starts out with a young kid, Drew Price, going into therapy because he sees monsters. His mother has been trying to find a therapist that can help him, until they finally find the right therapist. As the story progresses, Drew learns how to become a demon hunter. The story shifts between Drew’s younger years of training, to his older years of becoming a husband and father. During a family trip to a theme park, Drew’s son loses his soul. Thus begins the long road and process of getting his son’s soul back and ridding the world of a demon.

Overall, this is a solid read. I did get bored with it occasionally and felt like skipping ahead. It has a lot of words for a simple story.

Thank you #NetGalley and Flame Tree Press for sending me a copy of #DemonDagger by Russell James.

Sell Your Soul and Buy This Book!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 16, 2022

Russell James newest horror novel is a hauntingly beautiful struggle of good vs. evil. Demons walk among us and only a special few can see when they have taken the souls of humans and exert control of their bodies. Our main character Drew, has dealt with this horrifying ability his whole life and has assumed a mantle of protecting the unsuspecting world from these evil beings.

I really enjoyed this book overall. It is fast paced read told with various flashbacks of our main character learning from his mentor. When Drew's family is threatened by the biggest bad that he has ever faced, it really is a race to figure out who will come out on top and not without some loss along the way. This universe although unique and new felt familiar and I would love to hear more stories about Drew and Kenny.

Don't miss out on the newest scary Flame Tree Press novel!

**Thank you to NetGalley and Flame Tree Press for my arc.**

excellent supernatural horror

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 18, 2022

Verified Purchase

This is a chilling, briskly plotted, entertaining novel of supernatural horror. Demons, archdemons, magical daggers. I found the occasional (very minor) grammatical or punctuation error, but that's my only nit for picking. (Disclaimer: I worked for years as a copy editor, so my eye for the odd misplaced comma or dangling modifier or whatever is probably hyperactive.) This one will keep you up past your bedtime because you simply can't bear not knowing what happens next.

Ahhh. Russell James knows how to tell a darn good story. Some people see demons, and Drew is one of them. This is his story about how he finds out, who he meets to help him, his family and the nasty demons that make his life he**. There is a lot of heart in this book, along with action and brutality. It was all just so...satisfying. I loved it.
