“The Nature of Demons” is a mythos surrounding apocalyptic events and demonic possession, centering on protagonist Jacob Freeman, an attorney, husband, and father who finds himself in an apocalyptic realm of chaos and anarchy, where a malevolent force contorts his body into a demonic one. As his family witnesses his paranormal transformation, he overcomes his dark urges and explores the post-apocalyptic world in a quest to protect his wife, Rebecca, and daughter, Micah, from danger.

Will they survive doomsday? What awaits Jacob in the post-apocalyptic world? Find out in this amazing book!

I thoroughly enjoyed the unique and descriptive nature of the author in crafting his storytelling. True to his preferred genre, the author’s narration is very picturesque and leaves very little to the imaginations of the readers. The author fills each chapter with suspense and incredible gory details meant to pluck at the reader’s emotional heartstrings. I hope the author becomes more adept at ensuring happy endings in his stories.

The character developments in this book are also very amazing. I loved the fact that Jacob remains human even after being demonically altered and almost kills Micah in a bit of a frenzy. In the post-apocalyptic world, he celebrates Halloween with her, takes her to the hospital, and soothes the more pessimistic Rebecca. He also befriends Judith and makes her protect his family.

The book is also very entertaining and filled with quotes from Micah at the end of each chapter. My favorite is, “Find good things in the world. Even if it looks like everything is as bad as it can be, there’s something good you can find.” A good and applicable morale, I must say.

This book is excellently and thoroughly edited, so I did not find any grammatical errors or typographical mistakes. As a lover of all things fictional, be it literary fiction, science fiction, or dark speculative fiction, I, Michael Lartey, find this book to be thoroughly appealing and fun to read. The author’s context and style in this book powerfully and incredibly convey emotional intensity; therefore, I rate it 5 out of 5 stars. This is one of the best books I have ever read. I absolutely recommend this book to lovers of fiction, mythos, and dark fantasy.

However, because this book contains profane words and mild sexual content, I recommend it only for adult readers.
