2019 Top Shelf Book Awards Suspense First Place Winner
Only three children survived the terrors of Oneka Falls, New York in 1979.

Each of them paid a terrible price and had to survive as best they could—wrapped in fantasy, the comfort of amnesia, or the silence of self-imposed isolation. Twenty-eight years later, they are drawn together to once again face the town's horrible secrets--the horde of demons infesting Oneka Falls.

But the strongest of the demons is the one who terrorized them as children…

Can they survive another confrontation with the Demon King?

Critical Acclaim for Demon King:
★★★★★ “Vick’s dark, tense thriller pits young kids—and their older selves—against a demonic evil and his twisted daughters in Upstate New York... Vick bounces the story line between eras effectively, and the tension never lets up. Stephen King fans will enjoy spotting the references that Vick sprinkles throughout in homage... [T]he thrills and horrors are engrossing.”--Publisher's Weekly
★★★★★ “While favorably compared to Stephen King’s IT––in particular––and King & Koontz in general, by hundreds of reviews, I found the novel just as close to Stranger Things...“--Robert W. Walker, TopShelf Reviews
★★★★★ “Vick’s (Errant Gods, 2017, etc.) supernatural horror story is evocative of Stephen King’s work in its use of a small-town setting and a gang of friends facing a powerful evil.”--Kirkus Reviews
★★★★★ “What do you get when you mix elements of fear, mystery, suspense, foreshadowing and a perfectly gripping plot? Give up? Well… if all of these elements are woven together in a seamless piece of writing, you will end up with one fantastic horror story! This is exactly the case with Erik Henry Vick’s novel, Demon King.”--Leonard Tillerman, leonardtillerman.com
★★★★★ “Demon King is a novel that is impossible to put down. Gripping and intense are only two words to describe the effect of the story, but if horror is your pleasure, that is all you need to hear. Erik Henry Vick is certainly an author to fill you with nightmares. Fabulous story. I loved it!”--Melinda Harris, Readers' Favorite Reviews
★★★★★ “Demon King is a terrifying, thrilling and gripping novel that captivated as well as frightened me from the start...a unique novel with a multi-layered plot that is full of captivating mystery...did have me reading the book in the light!”--redheadedbookloversblog.com

What readers are saying:
★★★★★ "This book was like the old Stephen King…"
★★★★★ "The best horror story I’ve read in years! Read the entire book in two days, couldn’t put it down!”
★★★★★ "Sophisticated and well written. Scary as hell."
★★★★★ "Awesome characters, and scary monsters. Fast paced, and creepy, creepy.

Beautiful on the outside, deadly evil on the inside.

Throughout Eddie's childhood, two things remained constant: cold, hateful violence and the vicious smiles of the Scary Lady who haunted him. The love of his adoptive parents shielded him from her horrible influence--at least for a time.

Years later, the Scary Lady returns, prompting Eddie and his wife Amanda to join the group of demon hunters from Oneka Falls attempting to banish evil forever. But they face a greater threat than they imagined possible--an ancient demigoddess with astounding power.

Can the group survive the tempting traps laid for them by Our Lady Chaos?

Critical Acclaim for Our Lady Chaos:
★★★★★ “In this story, nothing is what it seems. A hushed silence hides a hideous and demonic presence. Readers quickly learn that humans can be the worst monsters. The conflict is skillfully developed and it is interesting to witness the infighting amongst demons as they yearn for more power and control. The crew of demon fighters is composed of vulnerable characters who are courageous. At times they improvise as they move along, discovering facts about their enemy. The introduction of the myth in the narrative takes the story to new depths and enriches the plot. Erik Henry Vick is a great storyteller and the realism he infuses into the writing augments the horror, keeping the blood running cold through the reader’s veins while making them anticipate what comes next. Our Lady Chaos: A Horror Collection is written in great prose and it features compelling characters who grab the reader’s interest right off the bat. A delightful read, indeed.”--Christian Sia, Readers' Favorite Reviews
★★★★★ "I adore the visceral and highly imaginative horror works of author Erik Henry Vick, who delivers on multiple levels to please the horror reader. His prose is slick with bloody imagery and sudden twists that keep readers on edge throughout the story, yet the overall arc of the build-up to attempting to defeat the ultimate demons is intelligently played, slow-burning and growing in power over time."--K.C. Finn, Readers' Favorite Reviews
★★★★★ “This scary and entertaining collection hasn’t been easy on my heart; I felt like it would give out on almost every page. The element of horror seeps deep into the stories and every character and every segment of the plots make it even more prominent. There is a plethora of characters and every character has a purpose, so all of them are incredibly detailed and developed. Out of all these characters, the four that stood out to me the most are Benny, Toby, Dennis, and Brigitta. They all were different yet they added a lot of depth to the story and their backstories were really well woven into the main plot. You have to read Our Lady Chaos: A Horror Collection by Erik Henry Vick to experience the thrill!”--Rabia Tanveer, Readers' Favorite Reviews

What readers are saying:
★★★★★ "Every time I finish an Erik Henry Vick series, I feel like I just lost a dear friend. It's devastating. They're that good."
★★★★★ "I absolutely have loved each and every one of these novels. I hate seeing them ending."
★★★★★ "A heart-pounding and thrilling conclusion to a captivating (and often unsettling) series.

The cold waters of Lake Genosgawa hide a terrifying secret.

Twenty-one years later, Greg joins forces with the survivors from neighboring Oneka Falls to put an end to the demonic infestation once and for all.

Can they survive a battle with The Hag?

Critical Acclaim for The Hag:
★★★★★ “This was an intense, scare-your-pants-off novel that will make you want to close your eyes, but not really because you need to know what happens next. Even though I read it in broad daylight, I was a little spooked and just wanted to hide for a little bit. The narrative is beyond amazing, the characters have so much potential... I loved this book! I really love the way Erik Henry Vick writes. He has a gift for weaving pictures with words and making sure the reader is right there in the story with his characters. The atmosphere is sinister from the very beginning and the tension keeps building until the end. This is a fantastic collection.”--Rabia Tanveer, Readers' Favorite Reviews
★★★★★ "...a tense dash in the darkness to stay together and survive, filled with sudden violence, enigmatic enemies and strange turns of events...[it] reminded me of Stranger Things where the graphic horror side is really allowed to let rip... I’m constantly awed by the inventiveness of the author to bring larger threats with each novel…[and] the further development of the villainous characters, who are just as integral to the story, and have their own maniacal motivations at play. [T]he dark corners are darker than ever with Vick’s usual flair for the shadowy atmospheres in his sharp narrative voice and excellent choice of lexis."--K.C. Finn, Readers' Favorite Reviews
★★★★★“[F]illed with action and disturbing images and these begin right off the bat. The silence, a falling leaf, or a faint footstep echo something sinister in this gritty tale of horrific deeds. Erik Henry Vick comes across as a master weaver of frightful tales; each page is well-spun with action and the kind of suspense that forces the reader to turn to the next page. The prose is beautiful, the plot ingeniously constructed and the characters richly developed. While this is the kind of story that is chilling, it is infused with realism and powerful imagery. It is a masterpiece, indeed.”--Romuald Dzemo, Readers' Favorite Reviews

What readers are saying:
★★★★★ "If you like excitement and suspense, you're gonna love this series!"
★★★★★ "The whole story is just so gripping and just grabs you from the very first page."
★★★★★ "You will never look at the dark corners of a room in the same way again!"
★★★★★ "[T]his author is so good - this book is fabulously-written, with an absolutely compelling storyline that is awesomely creepy."
★★★★★ "If you like demons, dark mystery and terror this book is for you! The storyline is fast-paced and easy to follow.

Have you ever had the feeling that someone is pulling your strings, making you dance to their tune?

Since the Smith case in Manhattan, Gavin Gregory, one of the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit's best profilers, has had those feelings in spades. First it was Glacadairanam, the Wrath Child, who was the hidden hand manipulating his life, but in Miami, Gavin met the power behind the little gargoyle in the form of a creature calling himself Fry. But Fry is much more than a man with an East Texas drawl--as evidenced by his funny habit of turning up in Gavin's dreams. The last time Gavin dreamed of the insane creature, the experience almost killed him.

During the two investigations, Gavin learned many things existed he'd always thought impossible--psychics, possession, secret government programs kidnapping children and training them as assassins--but the demonic father-son duo embodied by Fry and Glacadairanam scare him the most.

Because when those Devils Dance, Gavin has no choice but to waltz along with them.

Another stormy night, another body found in another dark NYC alley!

When a third woman dies in Manhattan, FBI Agent Gavin Gregory of the Behavioral Analysis Unit takes notice. The signature of the crimes matches a series of brutal murders he investigated ten years ago, and he fears the killer has returned.

A psychiatrist from a New York mental hospital claims to know the identity of the murderer. When Gregory hears her unbelievable tale--a dark mind trip of demonic possession--he almost walks away, but she knows too many details only the perpetrator would know. Gregory wonders if she is insane or if she is the killer.

When Agent Gregory’s wife is kidnapped, he must embrace the supernatural or risk losing her forever.

Part thriller, part supernatural horror, Wrath Child keeps you guessing and turning pages long into the night.

Perfect for fans of Dean Koontz, Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, Jeremy Bates, Anthony M. Strong, Lee Mountford, Michaelbrent Collings, and Abe Moss.

Reviews of Wrath Child

"Vick is a seasoned writer who doesn’t hold back. His opening line ('The alley stank of garbage and human waste and blood and imminent death') demonstrates his ability to evoke the senses and paint a visceral scene -- and alerts readers that the story to come contains a fair amount of gore and disturbing images. The well-crafted plot, memorable characters, and decidedly wicked villain will linger long after the last page is turned. Those looking for an engrossing supernatural thriller containing high stakes will find much to enjoy. Great for fans of John Connolly's A Book of Bones and Vaughn C. Hardacker's Wendigo."--Publishers Weekly

"Wrath Child is one of the best supernatural thrillers I've read in recent years, and I would highly recommend it to fans of the genre."--Pikasho Deka, Readers' Favorite Reviews

"Wrath Child: A Supernatural Thriller is psychologically rich, written with interesting details and scenes that put readers on the edge of their seats. It is an enjoyable read with great writing."--Grace Masso, Readers' Favorite Reviews

"This is the best thing [Erik Henry Vick has] ever written!"--Supergirl (Erik's wife--how could she be biased??)

"Addictive, disturbing, scary and absorbing story. Already ordered the sequel. Can't lose with this book."--Amazon Reader

"If you want to be scared page after page, then this book is for you!!!!"--Amazon Reader

"It was impossible to put down. A little bit of the mystery gets revealed at a time creating perfect suspense. Terrifying and unforgettable plot."--Amazon Reader

"…a phenomenal hit! This is what horror and suspense is all about. Filled with twists and turns, murders, psychosis, adventure and suspense, this novel will keep you up reading all night under the covers."--Amazon Reader

"I loved this book. There was an inventive streak I was not expecting."--Amazon Reader

"[Erik Henry Vick] punches well above his weight, comparing favorably with Grisham, Patterson, Koontz and sai King (who remains The King, but still) and other storytelling masters."--Amazon Reader

Special Agent Gavin Gregory returns in this spine-chilling sequel to Wrath Child!

The Bogeyman begins murdering young women in Miami, and Gavin Gregory, the elite FBI profiler who ended The Smith's reign of terror in Manhattan, catches the case. Try as he might, Agent Gregory can't wrap his rational mind around the crimes after he discovers each victim has mutilated herself before delivering the killing blow.

Offering to help, Adeline d'Clara claims to be part of a secret government program designed to indoctrinate, cultivate, and train psychic assassins. What's more, she claims to know The Bogeyman comes from a small group of psionic men who can control other people remotely. When Gavin tries to validate her story, he finds only more mystery--there is no record Adeline d'Clara has ever existed.

Can Agent Gregory navigate the web of lies and stop the Bogeyman before kills again?

The epic conclusion to the award-winning Blood of the Isir trilogy!
Who controls the strings of fate? Who controls time?

Ripped from Hank's grasp by her duplicitous minions, the Dark Queen has disappeared. But her most devoted, most powerful minion leaves a trail for Hank to follow—one that winds through the fabric of the universe and leads him into grave danger.

Hank discovers great evil at the heart of the universe—the Old Ones—and they want to warp the infinite paths of the multiverse so they all lead to darkness and ruin. He must find a way to defeat them, even if it means forming an alliance with the Dark Queen.

The Wild Hunt may be Hank's only chance of saving…everything.

★★★★★ “Wild Hunt by Erik Henry Vick is the kind of stuff I love to read; bold and wild, the kind of fantasy that creates worlds in the reader's mind...” -Divine Zape, Readers' Favorite

★★★★★ "The author has an astounding ability to truly transport you into his world, and the characters are eminently relatable. I got so caught up in the lives and struggles that I found my emotions mirroring theirs. I cried with both sadness and joy more than once during this one. Huzzah Erik for another amazing installment of this series." --Amazon Reviewer

She's an expert spellslinger. He's a grizzled detective with a wolfish side. Dru and Leery are a match for anything.

Faced with a pair of armless bodies and an unlikely pair of criminal masterminds—a Norwegian wood troll and an Unseelie—Leery knows the right people to help sort it all out.

There's only one hitch--the Zombie mafia. Full of danger and mystery, the case keeps everyone involved on edge.

Leery even takes a break from drinking coffee.

With the Zombie mafia's constant need for spare parts, is it any wonder the Locus of New York is full of Arms Dealers?

Critical Acclaim for Arms Dealers:
★★★★★ “I enjoyed the amalgamation of so many types of supernaturals… The banter between the characters was brilliantly executed, portraying different levels of complex relationships. Sometimes I couldn't help but grin at a well-spun conversation, let alone how the creatures' unique traits or weaknesses are evoked to further the investigation. I enjoyed the third-person narrative and how the high-pressure roles were portrayed, including the clashing of heads over things like jurisdiction and unwanted pressure from those higher up. The characters were brilliantly portrayed and really enhanced this investigative tale as they dig themselves deeper into trouble and paint targets on their backs. With fresh enemies made at every turn, a possible mole in the department, knowing who to trust is but one of their many building problems, and one of many things that will keep a reader engaged in this suspenseful investigation.”--K.J. Simmill, Readers' Favorite Reviews
★★★★★ “Fraught with suspense. Realistic dialogue between the main and supporting characters adds flavor to the story. The fantasy elements in the novel, which include terrifying monstrous magical beings, make the plot more entertaining. The action scenes are equally captivating. The plot moves forward easily as detectives begin questioning suspects, only for them to unravel a dangerous powerful gang. Arms Dealers by Erik Henry Vick is an imaginative fantasy mystery that fans of this genre will love for its gripping scenes and captivating characters.“--Edith Wairimu, Readers' Favorite Reviews
★★★★★ “The two detectives have a witty and playful connection which helps keep the tone light. Erik Henry Vick explores more of the world by introducing different aspects of the crime elements with the inclusion of the mafia and crime families. Vick puts a delightful spin on the mafia...[and] gives the story a humorous angle that blends humor and banter with bodies, murder, and supernatural creatures. A mysterious creature provides an opportunity to see more of Leery’s wolf side, which opens into a deeper look at his personality. Arms Dealers is a fun and exciting second episode in Claw and Warder that can’t be missed!”--Liz Konkel, Readers' Favorite Reviews

What readers are saying about the series:
★★★★★ "Great riff on Law and Order!"
★★★★★ "Love Law & Order? Read Claw and Warder!”
★★★★★ "Fantastic beginning to a new series!"
★★★★★ "DUN-DUN! has never been more fun!"
★★★★★ "Interesting twist on a favorite tv show.

Includes Episodes 1-3 of the award-winning CLAW & WARDER series: Seduction, Arms Dealers, and Mitzvah

Leery Oriscoe is just a conflicted New York cop who got hit by the Hassidic bus—only the bus was driven by a werewolf. There’s bound to be a little crazy under his black hat.

His life just got ten times more complicated. His new half-vampire and half-succubus partner is smart, sexy as Hell, and keeping a big secret from everyone.

Oh, and their lieutenant? She's the ghost of a Van Helsing.

Three cases, three thousand cups of coffee…

Critical Acclaim for CLAW & WARDER:
★★★★★ “[T]he 'other world' is swarming with their own problems to keep their side under control in New York. I’m no stranger to Erik Henry Vick’s universe as I’m a fan of The Bloodletter Saga. Vick’s intriguing, ghoulish, fast-paced plot and solid characterization are as entertaining as I expected. There are ample thrills, chills, and fun to satisfy readers' appetites. The dialogue and prose generate the entertaining moments and the degree of tension best suited to launch the next twist…yet more proof of Erik Henry Vick’s storytelling expertise in the supernatural world.”--Lit Amri, Readers' Favorite Reviews

I enjoyed the third-person narrative and how the high-pressure roles were portrayed… The characters were brilliantly portrayed.“--K.J. Simmill, Readers' Favorite Reviews
★★★★★ “The idea that there are two simultaneous types of society working side-by-side was a fascinating premise… The characters are fully overdrawn, as is the nature in this genre, and author Erik Henry Vick has done a fantastic job of giving them real and recognizable emotions and foibles that endear them to the reader... The writing style is flowing and easy to read. If urban fantasy is your thing, this is a book you must read but even if it’s not, this is a book you should read. I did and I’m glad of it – an excellent read.”--Grant Leishman, Readers' Favorite Reviews

An award winning epic dark fantasy series steeped in Norse mythology spanning more than 2000 pages.

Do you believe in destiny? Does it set the course life will take, or does life dictate a man's fate?

The skein of Hank Jensen's fate seems fixed, riddled with pain, deceit, and loneliness. Two monsters wrapped in human flesh took everything he cared about, warping his life's tapestry with a dark curse, abducting his family in the dead of night. Compelled by love, Hank must follow them across a shimmering portal into an unknown land. Unprepared for what awaits him there, he flounders…until he meets a figure straight out of Norse mythology who offers to help.

His quest is simple: overcome all the obstacles in his path—his disability, his lack of knowledge, demons, dragons, and the Dark Queen and her minions. If he succeeds, the war will have just begun. If he fails, he will never see his wife or son again.

Hank discovers great evil at the heart of the universe—the Old Ones—and they want to warp the infinite paths of the multiverse so they all lead to darkness and ruin. He must find a way to defeat them, even if it means forming an alliance with the Dark Queen.

The Blood of the Isir throbs in Hank's veins, and he has the power to save…everything!
