Laird Barron recommends
Southern Gods (2011)
John Hornor Jacobs
"A bit of HP Lovecraft, a touch of William Hjortsberg, Southern Gods is an effective combination of cosmic horror and southern Gothic traditions. John Hornor Jacobs will turn heads with this debut."
Down (2012)
Nate Southard
"A sleek and nasty tale, Southard continues to carve a name for himself with Down."
The Testament of Tall Eagle (2015)
(Tall Eagle, book 1)
John R Fultz
"The Testament of Tall Eagle is myth-making of epic scope. Fultz has rapidly matured into a major fantasist."
Altar (2016)
Philip Fracassi
"Altar is redolent of hard-edged supernatural horror from the golden days of McCammon and King. Nobody is safe in a Fracassi story."
The Fisherman (2016)
John Langan
"The Fisherman is an epic, yet intimate, horror novel. Langan channels M. R. James, Robert E. Howard, and Norman Maclean. What you get is A river Runs Through It...Straight to hell."
Crow Shine (2016)
Alan Baxter
"Alan Baxter is an accomplished storyteller who ably evokes magic and menace...Crow Shine has a mean bite,"
At the Mercy of Beasts (2018)
Ed Kurtz
"At the Mercy of Beasts showcases Kurtz's many talents. He doesn't slight the humanity of man or beast. Bloody, soulful, and yet delightfully absurdist, these stories represent epic storytelling."
