Great dialogue and lyrical prose "elevate every scene," according to a 5-STAR editorial review by Reader's Favorite! The prose, as well as the "powerful" emotional elements, was also praised in an editorial review by Kirkus, which rated The Ruby Demon a recommended ("Get it") read! The Ruby Demon is Oscar O'Rourke's debut novel, and it follows a boy named Jack as he travels the horrific, dramatic, and at times, surrealistic, Old West of the United States. It combines literary fiction with elements of horror and drama in a Western setting . This book, which is written in a vivid and poetic prose, takes the reader to both highs and lows, which will amaze them, and which will shock them--and which often strikes deeper emotions like a flame to a wick. This is a book that can best be described as an experience, and you will not regret having taken part! Oscar O'Rourke is a writer from Washington State best known for his novellas Marley's Melancholia and When the Iris is Pink: A Dystopian Story, as well as for his work of short stories and poetry, Seattle Collection.
