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.

There's a body in Brixton, drained of blood and with puncture wounds to its neck. No one believes it's a vampire killing, not the police and not the vampires, so why is a criminal gang so keen to find one? Can the hardest villain in Norwood really be a ten-year-old girl? When Abba goes berserk, just how dangerous can it get? And how can such a lecherous old soak like Oz get his leg over so often? Ess, animal massage therapist, Wiccan and sometime investigator of the London Otherworld tries to answer all these questions (except maybe the one about Oz. There are limits.) and still cultivate a personal life. But some days it's all she can do to stay alive at all.Blood Rush is the third Ess and Oz novel from the tortured pen of Bob Simms, mixing urban fantasy and crime seasoned with a sense of humour that can best be described as 'individual'.
