In Ancient Near Eastern religions as well as in the derived Abrahamic traditions, including ancient and medieval Christian demonology, a demon is considered an "unclean spirit" which may cause demonic possession, to be addressed with an act of exorcism.

Still, thanks for spreading it to him and indirectly to me - though as groundbreaking and eerie as the book is, I feel like he could have written the same content poorly spelled with his butt - and people would still have gone crazy about it. Anyway, the marketing of Daemon has been truly extraordinary, and actually receiving somewhat personal emails from Daniel has made me "gleeful as a fashion blogger", as they say :-) Hey Jüri, I’m probably one of the late “early ambassadors” of Daemon, as I got my copy from Henrik (above).

I ordered the book the same day, and wrote about it on Jaiku. Then something interesting happened: Daniel Suares' wife Michelle saw my Jaiku post and turned me into an ambassador for the book, se my blog story: http://alfabravo.com/2008/10/25/ambassadors/ Thanks Jyri for the tip about Daemon during Reboot10!

The good new is, the sequel's slated to come out in 2010. I hope he is not getting too distracted from writing though. With all the recent attention, I would be. @Justin That’s by and large what I told Suarez too. The good new is, the sequel’s slated to come out in 2010.

Thanks Jyri - I read Daemon last year on your recommendation. It was a fabulous fun read! Then it took me a few minutes to figure out that the exact same book is being published by a different author - except it's the same author - thanks for clearing that up :-) I don't give much of a hoot about Daemon appearing in bookstores now, etc - I WANT A SEQUEL ASAP hah!
