So I watch a fair bit of YT, like deep analysis of video games, books, films, etc.

There is one extreme (for 1989) horror book I haven’t seen anyone cover, and I kinda want to write a script for an analysis on it. I know some people have read it, per the Goodreads reviews on it, but having consumed a lot of horror analysis content, no one I watch has mentioned this book.

It’s Demon Shield by Bruce King (not related to the other King author) www.goodreads.com/en/book/…/1850112.Demon_Shield. It scared the absolute shit out of myself and my dad and uncle. Knowing the content, I suspect their horror comes from one of the male characters being, uh, assaulted. But honestly the whole book it just fucked.

Now I can’t say for sure no one else has covered this, because I haven’t done a yt search for it. But I’m interested to see whether the writing is as good as I remember, or if I’m only remembering how much it scared me. That would be another point I’d touch upon in an analysis; is the writing carrying the scare, or is it just the content they’re describing that’s scary?

I’ll have to locate my copy to start reading and taking notes again.
