DEMONS by John Shirley

Evil demons roam the earth, delighting in the sadistic torture of any humans they encounter, while Ira, a young San Francisco artist, joins forces with a powerful young seeress and an offbeat group of scientists and philosophers to end the reign of terror.
Yet the demons draw their strength from an all-too-familiar evil–a deadly malevolence supported by some of the greatest powers on earth, concealed beneath the trappings of status, success, and abused power. Ira and his allies– including a compelling young seeress–come to believe these demons didn’t just appear. They were summoned. But the most shocking revelation is yet to come...
