Early in the novel's lifespan it received mostly positive reviews from reviewers such as Jackie Cassada from Reed_Business_Information Inc. who wrote about the interesting setting found within the three novels and praised the novel's separation from the norm of then's horror mystery, "United by their setting in the ethereal, lost city of Paradys, three stories of classic horror open windows onto a world of shadowy and elusive creatures of netherworlds. Let's seductive prose and sensitivity to nuance restore the "atmosphere" to a genre too easily overwhelmed by gore. First published in Britain, this title belongs in most fantasy collections,". Around the same time it also received praise from Stefan Dziemianowicz, the writer of the popular Barnes & Noble "100 Stories" anthology series, for the other books in the series and the series as a whole for it's storytelling based on religious ideals and sexuality, “Much of Lee’s writing has been for multi-book series, highly regarded for their refined literary style. Her Secret Books of Paradys series, begun with The Book of the Damned (1988), is a provocative four-book saga that explores issues of religion and sexuality in the context of heroic fantasy.”
