Demogorgon?

[Sophie]

Ok, after the con I've now decided I need to read more of brian's work. I was looking in amazon, and I found Demogorgon. I haven't heard anyone mention this book before, or is it part of another series? So what's people's views on this particular book?

I've heard of it Soph but I've never personally read it, although I've always wanted to and have only heard good things about it from my fellow Lumlians.

I suggest you go for it and then you'll know one way or the other if it was a good idea ;)

[topol_sheap]

it rocks smile.gif

[Lady Louise]

An excellent read.

Would recommend to anyone.

Go for it Sophie

[Nathan]

Hell yeah! A rare stand-alone book. Well worth a read. smile.gif

[Silver]

It's a great story brilliant from start to finish with a fabulous ending, well worth it, and I know that Lupa will have lots of praise for this one!

[bloody path]

[Sophie]

I love this book ... one of Brians least talked about work. The next convention should be named DEMO-CON!!! grin.gif

But as with most of his non-Necroscope books this one is out of print in Blighty!! grrrrr .. however if you go to amazon.com you should be able to pick up a Tor edition.

Great book .. GREAT ENDING!!!

Anyway who doesn't own it .... and has access to the tool of the devil (a credit card!!) ...

Demogorgon was the first of Brian's work that I read, I think House of Doors was the second and both were quite some time before I had even seen a Necroscope novel.

Excellent book, one that you wished you could get more of, but the way it was written is just perfect as a stand-alone. Would I like to see another? Sure, but as you are very satisfied with the way he wrote it, no need!

[Helmet Head]

The fates have conspired once more and I have yet again been parted with some of my hard earned cash, oh how I'll miss it so... :cool:

In other words I've gone and snapped up a copy of DEMOGORGON for my reading pleasure, and have once again added to my growing COLLECTION. grin.gif

Looks like I can't fight anymore and will have to bow down and admit defeat to Mr's DC, TOPS and the ever hairy Lord Lupa...... DAM :(

Oh Charlie!!! its one of the BEST books i've EVER read!, thrilling to say the least and oh man....

i re read it a few months ago and it was just fantastic!

definitely got to read it!!

I think all that i have left to read are the Hero books by Brian, oh and the Tarra Khash ones

[Sophie]

I managed to beg the parents to buy it off U.S amazon for me, as I don't have a credit card, the product of never having a stable 9-5 job in my entire life. But... luckily it's christmas soon grin.gif

I ended up getting: House of Doors, Demogorgon and Psychomech yey!

[topol_sheap]

well done, you'll have a grand time reading them smile.gif

Mind you, it's actually a good thing so error of your ways may be the wrong terminology here :confused:

Welcome to Collectors Corner....

[Lagula Longarm]

It looks like I'm a bit late with this thread, but to add my two cents (oops I seem to have gone American this week)I rate Demogorgan up there with Khai of Khem, as a superb stand alone version of Brians work.

[Silver]

Yay, good choices Sophie, you're in for a good Christmas.

Helm, I knew it wouldn't take long and you also have a great book on its way, to add to your collection!

[Lupa the Ancient]

A great Chrimbo reading there for you Sophie ....

As for Lord Peder admitting to been a collector .... 'tis not really news mate - it was the glint in your eye when you won Arkham book in the raffle -- you were hooked my good man!!!!! grin.gif ;)

[The Caller of the Black]

Top choices smile.gif

[Zombie296]

Demo was a great book, but I personally liked House of Doors better. Since you will soon have both, give us your opinion once you blast through them!

[Nosgali Songsayer]

You're right Sophie you do need to read more of Brians work. I've read a lot of his stuff and yet to find any of it less than perfect.

Right now because my girlfriend hates reading and and always falls asleep 10 minutes in, I'm reading the Titus Crow series to her. And so far she's LOVIN' it. Throw another log on the fire!

[Goth Girl]

Botch you have a copy of Demogorgon... you just don't have it yet! It's on its way though... ;)

Oops! Sorry. I forgot. That's what happens when you post highly intoxicated. I mean HIGHLY intoxicated.

[Helmet Head]

Finished Demogorgon Last night and have to say that it was fantastic grin.gif , I may even have to re-jumble my Top 5 Lumley :confused:

[Botch the Mad]

just started it today (thanks again GG) and i'm about 100 pages in. i love it. can't wait, but don't want, to finish it.

[Botch the Mad]

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i absolutely loved this book. this is now on my top five. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU GG!!!!

[Lupa the Ancient]

So pleased that people are reading and enjoying this book .. 'tis a classic.

[Goth Girl]

My pleasure Botch m'dear... always like to spread the word of Demogorgon! tongue.gif

It's a book I tend to buy whenever I see it, as I can always find a home for it!

[Helmet Head]

At least we can aggree on this one thing Botch me lado, this book does indeed ROCK

[Botch the Mad]

actually, we agree on quite a bit. don't you remember this quote? " He's f'n AGREEING with you man!!!" about three a.m., while we depressed the poor soldier on leave. that is one of my favorite memories of the con. i love to debate, i even at times take the opposite view of my own just to enjoy the fullness of debate. not that night, though. although we were actually in agreement, except the wwII stuff.
