Critical Praise
"Rick Moody is one of those writers you can't ignore because you don't know what he'll come up with next....Yes, on the surface it's Moody's daring and talent that exhilarate us, but on a deeper level we recognize the effort his people make to memorize their losses, to somehow keep alive what can't be saved, to placate their demons."
-Stewart O'Nan, Minneapolis Star Tribune
"By turns terrifying and wickedly funny....A delightfully quirky collection."
-Michael Shelden, Baltimore Sun
"Demonology, both the story and the collection, is a shriek of pain, a rending of garments, a howl.... It seems totally beside the point to ask whether these stories are good, or bad, or entertaining. They're overwhelming. For me, the appropriate response to a book like this is an answering cry, a matching confession."
