Speak of the Devil (book)

Speak Of The Devil is a horror short stories collection released in June 2007 by French author Guillaume Roos. The themes developed vary from the afterlife ("The Anteroom"), futuristic horror ("Beyond The Desert", "Alone"), the living-dead ("Save Our Souls", "Until Death..."), gothic horror ("The Devil's On The Run", "In The Danger Zone"), urban fantasy ("A Dragon's Word") or dark fantasy ("The Man Who Watched The Sea")...

Publication History

Speak Of The Devil was first published in French language in 2003, under the title Le Diable en rit encore. In 2006, Guillaume Roos, not completely happy with the services of his then publisher (Publibook) decided to republish the collection himself though the online publisher Lulu.com. A new revised version of the book was released in early 2007 with four new stories added.

The English language version of this revised and augmented edition was released for the first time in June 2007 through the same online publisher.

A Portuguese language version is in the work and should be expected for the end of 2007.
