E.E. Richardson is a twenty-five-year-old cybernetics graduate. Her first novel, 'The Devil's Footsteps' (2005), was published shortly after she graduated from university and was a great success. It was followed in 2006 by a second horror novel, 'The Intruders'. 'The Summoning' was the third novel from this talented writer of supernatural stories, followed in the same year (2007) by 'Devil for Sale'.

She got the idea for 'Devil for Sale' from a story about a box that was for sale on the Internet. People said there was a curse on the box. The seller said that the box had only brought bad luck. How would you get rid of something as dangerous as this if the only way to get rid of it was to sell it - and if nobody wanted to buy it?
