Harold Schechter

Pocket, 2000

Easy Terrifying Read
Definitely a must have for fans of the writer and his works. This is an easy to pick up, easily read book that features one of the most shocking stories involving children that I have ever read. This book is a good one, and it truly is what it says, a shocking true ...

Dreams of the Rarebit Fiend

Winsor McCay

Dover Publications, 1973

Winsor Mccay in Rarebit land!
Winsor Mccay is considered one of the pioneers of cartooning AND animation. His drawing style is so architecturally fine tuned that each panel of his work is a piece of art itself! The Rarebit Fiend has a habit of eating toasted cheese before going to bed and ...

Fresh Air Fiend: Travel Writings

Paul Theroux

Mariner Books, 2001

Excellent travel/writing book
Paul Theroux is one of only a few writers for whom I will immediately buy their new hardcovers based on name only, with great anticipation. This one does not disappoint, and I'd rate it right up there with my favorites of his, "My Other Life" and "Sunrise With ...

Fiend Folio: Tome of Creatures Malevolent and Benign: (Advanced Dungeons and Dragons)

Don Turnbull

TSR Hobbies, 1981

Excellent source of monsters for 1st Edition AD&D
The Fiend Folio, if you can still find it, is an excellent source of monsters "malevolent and benign," but mostly malevolent. It introduces many creatures which are staples to 2nd edition AD&D, such as the githzerai and githyanki (from Planescape) and the Death ...

Fiend Folio (Dungeons & Dragons d20 3.0 Fantasy Roleplaying)

James Wyatt, Eric Cagle, ...

Wizards of the Coast, 2003

Great Book!
This book is excelent! Filled with fiends, undead, oozes, and some fey, this book has so many ideas for that monster for the climactic battle, or if you just want to keep your players on their toes. There's also new rules for grafts, if you want a demonic leg or ...

Diary of a Drug Fiend

Aleister Crowley

Weiser Books, 1977

A Classic For Eternity About Healthful Living
It's not quite as much fun to write a review when it seems everyone is basically in agreement. Crowley was not as evil as folklore suggests, and he was a lot more intellectually accomplished than his detractors would care to admit. What struck me about this book ...

My Mama Says There Aren't Any Zombies, Ghosts, Vampires, Demons, Monsters, Fiend

Judith Viorst

Aladdin, 1987

Great Kid's Book
Sure, some of the illustrations scared me as a kid, but I loved it all the same. I used to beg my mom to read it to me all the time. Sadly, I got rid of it a while ago, and pretty soon I missed it dearly. I bought a new copy of it just today and couldn't be happier. ...

Bloodsucking Fiends: A Love Story

Christopher Moore

Simon & Schuster, 2008

Bloodsucking Fiends
Christopher Moore's Bloodsucking Fiends: A Love Story is the first book in the vampire series with C. Thomas Flood and Jody. It's too bad that I read You Suck: A Love Storyfirst. However, even though I knew what happened at the end of this book, it was still a great ...

The Last Apprentice: Attack of the Fiend (The Last Apprentice)

Joseph Delaney

Greenwillow, 2008

Awesome spine-tingling series
Wow! This series just gets better and better! I don't even like horror, but these books strike the right tone. Delightfully creepy (boys will love it), but not too intense for children ages 10 and up. I loooove the narrative voice. The main character's simple, ...

Skyhorse Publishing, 2007

Wild and Extremely Liberated Single lady's Account
This book is a completely uninhibited one year diary about a single lady's obsession with sex, experiments (bisexual, threesomes, s&m, you name it and it is there...) and her attempt to get into a serious relationship. It is very British in its language but the ...

Not just for horror fans!

A Fiend In Need

NAL Trade, 2008

amusing chick lit romantic fantasy
One month ago her mom died, but Cassidy Burke has had little time to grieve her loss as she has become the most powerful demon duster in the world; or at least in California. The thirtyish mother of Thea wonders what next since she began spraying people with her ...

More Than Fiends

Maureen Child

NAL Trade, 2007

Fun with a Bite!
I have never read a Maureen Childs book before I read More Than Fiends and I must say I couldn't put the darn thing down! I finished the book in 2 days and anxiously awaited the arrival of a Fiend In Need which I have just finished reading yesterday....both books are ...

Van Richten's Guide to Fiends (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons : Ravenloft, No 9477)

Teeuwynn Woodruff

Wizards of the Coast, 1995

Evil: The Capital "E"
I recomend this source book for any DM who wishes to run a deamon in Ravenloft. This book will destroy all the preconceived notions you have about fiends; Van Richtan rewrites typical D&D cannon for a fresh revitalization of the traditional views of the ...
