Brian Keene recommends
Deadliest of the Species (2001)
Michael Oliveri
"...This is one hell of a knuckle-turner. [Oliveri's] debut novel has all the makings of a classic. If you wish you had discovered Stephen King with Carrie, then don't wait to buy this one. Get it now!"
The Bleeding Season (2003)
Greg F Gifune
"Greg Gifune is one of the absolute best voices in dark fiction."
Dragged Into Darkness (2003)
Simon Wood
"Simon Wood is a powerful new voice in the art of dark storytelling. His prose is surreal, unique...and disturbing. The stories in this collection will indeed drag you into darkness - and you'll love every minute of it! A promising debut from a future master of terror."
The Last Motel (2005)
Brett McBean
"The Last Motel is fun; a thrilling, white-knuckled suspense read. Mcbean's voice is one that should be heard - a hint of Laymon and Koontz, yet distinctly his own. Genuinely creepy stuff!"
Dying To Live (2007)
(Dying To Live, book 1)
Kim Paffenroth
"A high-octane thinking man's horror novel with beautiful and gruesome imagery."
The Desert (2007)
Bryon Morrigan
"The Desert has more dangerous twists and sinister turns than Richard Nixon on crystal meth. When the end comes, all I need is a fifth of whiskey, a loaded handgun, and a copy of this book."
Water Witch (2008)
Deborah LeBlanc
"LeBlanc's prose is smooth, quick and as darkly beautiful as the midnight bayou."
The Devil Next Door (2009)
Tim Curran
"The Devil Next Door is dynamite! Visceral, violent, and disturbing!"
Phantom (2009)
Paul Tremblay and Sean Wallace
"An outstanding anthology... Haunting, provocative and immensely enjoyable."
This Dark Earth (2012)
John Hornor Jacobs
"This Dark Earth is, quite simply, the best zombie novel I've read in years. Breathes some much-needed new life into the dead."
Hex-Rated (2017)
(Brimstone Files, book 1)
Jason Ridler
"Deliciously uncomfortable, wonderfully gritty, and a worthy successor to the occult detectives of old."
Cry Your Way Home (2018)
Damien Angelica Walters
"A hauntingly beautiful collection and emotional rollercoaster. Tender, brutal, gentle, harrowing. I loved it."
Let There Be Dark (2018)
Tim McWhorter
"Crafting creepy thrillers in the vein of Tim McWhorter and Dean Koontz, Tim McWhorter doesn't disappoint!."
The Siren and The Specter (2018)
Jonathan Janz
"One of the best writers in modern horror to come along in the last decade."
