* Creator/TanithLee has several races of demons in her ''Literature/TalesFromTheFlatEarth'' books. They live Underearth, ruled by the dark prince Azhrarn the Beautiful, Lord of Wickedness. The Vazdru, like their prince, seem like beautiful more-than-human beings, while their servants, the Eshva, live for their dreams and sensations; and the little Drin are master craftspeople somewhat like {{Dwarves}}. Her amazing tales of these not-always-malevolent beings seem similar to Babylonian, Egyptian, Persian and occasionally Russian and even Irish myth, but are in many respects like nothing that ever was.

* "Sefira" by Creator/JohnLangan features shapeshifting demons who are simply the natural, insect-like inhabitants of a place called the "Broken Plane."

* ''Literature/WitchKing'': Demons are the denizens of Underearth, a mutable otherworld that can only be reached through AstralProjection. On Earth, they need to [[DemonicPossession possess human bodies]] to interact with the world and can [[LifeDrinker drain life with a touch]], giving them a shady reputation in some areas even though they're not inherently evil or malicious.

Though he may actually just be a SufficientlyAdvancedAlien. Also, he's only two centimeters tall. And the UnreliableNarrator may be making him up.

Crosswicking The Adventures Of Amina Al Sirafi
Added DiffLines:
* ''Literature/TheAdventuresOfAminaAlSirafi'': Raksh insists that "demon" is an erroneous human term for spirits of discord like him. His personal speciality is human ''ambition'', not evil -- though he himself disregards mortal morality and isn't beyond snacking on the occasional human heart. Though the story is based on Middle Eastern history and legend, evil spirits like Shaitan don't make an appearance.
