- Summary
- A womanizer & rsquo;s struggle for self-control spirals into crime, madness, and murder Harry White grew up in blue-collar Brooklyn, but the young man & rsquo;s charm, smarts, and good looks have helped him earn a place as an uptown junior executive. White & rsquo;s gifts have also made his love life easy, and he takes special pleasure in seducing married women. But when & ldquo;Harry the Lover & rdquo; is ready to grow up and leave his womanizing behind, White finds that suppressing his libido has dangerous consequences. His attempts at restraint awaken something sinister, causing White to seek excitement in a new form of violence and depravity. Shocking and enthralling, The Demon is an unflinching meditation on male vanity by one of the most acclaimed and original writers of the twentieth century. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Hubert Selby, Jr., including rare photos from the author & rsquo;s estate.
