The Young Demon Keeper

Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award 2011 semi-finalist. The Young Demon Keeper is a darkly humorous fantasy novel set in modern-day London. When Paul summoned a slave demon to do his every bidding, he thought it would be really cool. Instead, he got Scarth, a hybrid that was as magical as a damp sponge but not as intelligent. His only talents seem to be invisibility and to eat: toasters, gravel, furniture, but especially ice-cream. Oh, and people. Featuring demons, trendy priests, garrulous occult bookshop owners, muggers, publicans, evangelists, porters, witches, and wizards. Oh, and then there's the really strange characters.
