5-14-2026 Latham's Last Words: Low Spirits and All Their Demons Bow To Me by Kiefer Lane

Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on books I've enjoyed. This month is Mental Health Awareness Month and I wanted to post my reviews of two books that deal with mental health issues, Low Spirits and All Their Demons Bow To Me by Kiefer Lane.

Low Spirits

What an intense, emotional, creepy rollercoaster of a book. From the get go I was drawn into this world and entranced with the characters. It had just the right amount of mystery, horror and emotional turmoil to keep me turning the pages. I can not believe this is a debut novel. I can not wait for the sequel!

All Their Demons Bow To Me

I'll preface this review by saying that in order to fully understand and appreciate this book, you need to read the first, Low Spirits.

I thought when I started reading I'd be a little lost since it's been a few years since I read Low Spirits. But nope! First chapter and I was right back with Judy, Madelyn and Martin. These three characters are like friends I haven't seen in a while but never lost touch with.

I loved the addition of Roland and Kiefer Kane, but I gotta be honest I missed Martin. His absence didn't detract from the story, I just love him as a character.

What can I say about this book that will do it justice? It's beautiful. It's dark. Full of hope and despair. A tiny bit gruesome. A lot terrifying.

Lane is brilliant with how he mixes horror with mental health themes. A very unique way to convey the horrors of the supernatural. And I would never in a million years have ever even thought of writing a story about a therapist that treats survivors of paranormal trauma.

This review will serve as my official plea for a third book!

Get them both here!
