Superstition and Witch craft is rife in Africa. A Demon is called from the depth of hell, but who is the master?
One man with a desire for revenge that blinds him, and in the end is his undoing, as he unleashes his demon to walk and hunt under the African moon. Pure evil, that walks in the African bush. An evil that devours – called up from the darkness of hell in a ritual that involves flesh and blood…
Piet van Zyl finds himself on the receiving end of madness as he confronts the Blood Demon that threatens the very lives of those he loves.
Excerpt
The colour of the suitcase catches her eye as it moves along the conveyor belt with the others being loaded onto the connecting flight to Port Elizabeth. She looks around to see where the supervisor is, as it’s been two weeks since she last helped herself to a passenger’s luggage. And this one was very tempting as if came off an international flight.
Quickly, with practiced ease, she removes the case, and slips it into a dark corner of the loading area, ready to be picked up and taken home when she goes off duty. No one will say anything, as airline luggage always seems to go missing when in transit.
She boards the taxi that will take her home, clutching the case with practiced ease, giving one the impression it belonged to her to anyone that might look her way. The contents of the suitcase feels the change in temperature as she holds it against her body and moves amongst the clothes, closer to the source of heat.
Her thoughts are filled with wild imaginations of what wonderful things she’ll find in the case, and she hurries home so that she can inspect her ill gotten gains, and if there is nothing in there of any value, she can always sell it to a neighbour. At least the only one to lose is the passenger waiting in Port Elizabeth for their luggage to arrive.
She throws the case on her bed; the jolt causes the contents to coil in defence under the clothes. The lock is broken, and the suitcase opened. She plunges her hands into the clothes, her look of greed turns to terror as pain shoots up her right arm, she pulls her hand back and screams for attached to her wrist is a 73 cm Bush Viper, its fangs buried deep into her flesh.
Maria will not be helping herself to any more luggage any time soon, for the venom of the snake works quickly. Its work is done, the snake moves off and slowly slithers underneath the bed, and coils up, at rest.

Blood Demon - Revenge
“...I was selected as a Beta Reader and WOW!...”
reviewed by S. Dale
I’d read the first two after release and loved them both, so when I contacted the publisher to ask if they needed Beta readers, I was very pleased to be invited to read Blood Demon: Revenge. WOW! Any time a writer can make me miss dinner because I am reading, that is a huge deal, and Paul Zunckel did just that! Each scene is one of those that makes a reader squirm and the tension is fantastic. Thank you!

Angel Ernst rated it 5 of 5 stars
One of the best follow ups to a series I have ever read. Revenge is high on the mind of the new culprit in this third book. And the revenge he brings forth on our heroes is a great and powerful Demon that knows the group all too well!! A perfect blend of traditional magic and new world ideas!!
