Written as K.J. Parker, Prosper’s Demon (2020) introduces an unnamed exorcist in a Renaissance-like setting who has spent his career battling a particularly persistent demon. The novella is sharp and unsettling, blending dark humor with genuine horror.
Inside Man (2021) continues the story, expanding on the complicated dynamic between the exorcist and his demonic adversary. Both novellas are short enough to read in a single sitting but pack considerable punch.
