Boys in the Valley (2023)
Philip Fracassi
"Boys in the Valley is cruel, creepy, and keeps the pedal to the metal. An unrelenting and highly entertaining show of horrors."
thumb
Old Country (2022)
Harrison Query and Matt Query
"What started as the spookiest of tales on Reddit--I should know, as I love them--sparked a tour-de-force of a novel that perfectly renders the tensions of living in isolation and the unforgiving passage of the seasons of the natural world. On top of that, OLD COUNTRY delivers an unyielding sense of dread and suspense. I can't wait for more from the Query brothers."

Sundial (2022)
Catriona Ward
"This novel is reminiscent of the best of Shirley Jackson and Joyce Carol Oates, and I cannot think of higher praise."
