    Demon Eyes (Leisure Fiction)"L.H. Maynard and M.P.N. Sims write a true horror story
    that will scare the heck out of readers.    "

    DEMON EYES has it's own website
    http://www.freewebs.com/demoneyesnovel/index.

    “The novel, the latest product of the fertile, sick imagination of the British duo Maynard & Sims, is a perfect, accomplished example
    of a modern horror story, featuring both subtle psychological uneasiness and graphic physical violence while blending
    personal fears with cosmic terror. Gripping the reader’s attention
    from the outset, the story develops in a steady, firm manner, thanks to
    the authors’ ability to carve credible characters, write
    plausible dialogues and provide beautiful prose.”

           "...a tightly written novel full of suspense, sensuality, and a creepy atmosphere that
    was absolutely astounding...the genre has something to look forward to.
    So buy it, read it, and love it folks. I promise you will not be disappointed in the slightest."

    “I had never read anything by Maynard and Sims before this book.
    I will be remedying that in the near future!! The book was very well written and fast paced.
    I enjoyed this one very much!”     

    “I really liked this book, never read anything like it before. It was an interesting,
    suspenseful horror story… I highly recommend this book.
    It was disturbing without being too graphic, a good read.”

    "I thoroughly enjoyed every page, the story, characterisation (even the characters we meet just for a few seconds, e.g. the woman with the big old dog, were realistic and added something), the suspense was frequently intense and left me in your world,
    the idea was really ingenious and I was left in constant surprise. 
    Brilliant! 10/10. Looking forward to the next novels.    "

         "Demon Eyes provides first class horror with an elegant and refined air that slashes the very fabric of reality to ribbons with its sharp, cold and manicured talons."
