ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Tobi Coventry knows a good story when he sees one, as an industry-leading book to film scout, his day job is turning your favourite books into your favourite TV shows and movies.

He’s a lifelong horror fan and spent his childhood getting aults to explain the plot of the Exorcist until he was old enough to watch it for himself. In 2022 he produced the short horror film, ’Blood Rites’.

He’s the Devil is his first novel and it’s about to POSSESS the minds of everyone who reads it.

See him at DCB before he’s too famous to visit us!

What the reviews say:

‘Horny. Gory. Relatable.’ -KIRSTY LOGAN, AUTHOR OF THINGS WE SAY IN THE DARK

‘Demon twinks rise up! This is gloriously gay and downright sinful. Enough tomake Danielle Steel blush’ -ATTITUDE

‘A truly revolting masterpiece. Disgusting, depraved, poetic...and impossible to put down. If Stephen King, Ottessa Mosfegh and John Waters had a baby – it’s this brilliant book.’ -JODIE HARSH, AUTHOR OF YOU HAD TO BE THERE

ABOUT THE BOOK

Ever shared a flat with someone you hate?

He’s the Devil is the book that asks what would happen if all your feelings were 100% valid?

What if it didn’t just FEEL like your flatmates was possessed by a demon; what if they really were the most unlikeable, smelly, messy, vile, inconsiderate, creature that ever crept out of their room in the night and stole someone else’s cheese?

Funny, gross and genuinely terrifying. Fans of gay horror assemble, this one’s for you.
