February is here and brings the news that Amazon.ca has chosen The Damned to be one of their 10 Best New Books of the Month! Check out the list, and if so inclined, pre-order the one with the scary-looking girl on the cover.
The Demonologist an Amazon Best Book of the Year
The insightful and attractive people over at Amazon.ca have recently announced their Top 20 favourite books of 2013, and The Demonologist is one of them! They have it coming in at #16 overall (and that includes international and non-fiction titles as well as fiction).
I’m pleased about this, naturally – and doubly so because my novel is a thriller (a psychological horror thriller, to be even more categorical) – and books like mine rarely find their way through such Best Of filters. Very grateful.
You can check out all the lists here:
The Demonologist is an Amazon Top 10 Best Books of the Year So Far!
Over at Amazon.ca, in the I-Sure-As-Hell-Wasn’t-Expecting-That Department, The Demonologist has been picked as one of the Ten Best Books of the Year So Far! It’s also one among only two Canadian works of fiction selected (along with Lisa Moore’s new novel, Caught). The Demonologist holds the #8 slot overall.
This is surprising and amazing, to say the least. Thanks, Amazon.ca editors! If you were looking to make somebody’s morning today, your work is done.
Here’s the press release and the complete list:
Amazon Book of the Month: Even Better Than I Thought
Wanted to follow up on my last post announcing that The Demonologist has been chosen a Best Book of the Month by Amazon.com. This remains true. But at first I thought the selection was part of a long list, and one limited to Mystery/Thriller titles.
Turns out to be even better than that: The Demonologist is a Top Ten Picks of the Month, including all genres, non-fiction, memoir and fiction alike.
This is, as a NHL between-periods interviewee might put it, a little bit huge.
The Demonologist is an Amazon.com Best of the Month!
There’s a star e-stickered to the Amazon.com page for The Demonologist I just saw, a star that says “Best of the Month.” What does this mean? It means that the good (and attractive, and tasteful, and smart) people at Amazon have chosen the book as among the best novels – among Mysteries & Thrillers particularly – going on sale in March. This is delightful and surprising – delightfully surprising? – news!
By the way, for those in the US and other territories where you can order from Amazon.com, the hardcover edition of The Demonologist is on sale at the moment for $14. Fourteen clams! You can barely buy a tuna sandwich and a Mountain Dew for that these days.
