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!" | The Summer I Died (2006) (Roger Huntington Saga, book 1) Ryan C Thomas "A tense, bloody ride!" | The Freakshow (2007) Bryan Smith "Bryan Smith serves up a feast of good old-fashioned horror." |
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." | Found You (2008) (Hollower, book 2) Mary SanGiovanni "Mary SanGiovanni is one of my favorite authors." |
River Runs Red (2008) Jeffrey J Mariotte "One of the best storytellers in the business." | Water Witch (2008) Deborah LeBlanc "LeBlanc's prose is smooth, quick and as darkly beautiful as the midnight bayou." | Solomon's Grave (2009) Daniel G Keohane "Daniel G. Keohane has crafted a tense, intricate thriller that will appeal to fans of The Da Vinci Code... Solomon's Grave is a creepy, intense read that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I loved it!" |
Reservoir Gods (2009) Brian Knight "Say hello to horror's next big thing." | 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." |
Just Like Hell (2011) Nate Southard "Realistic and unflinching in it's brutality." | All-Monster Action! (2012) Cody Goodfellow "Compulsive, breakneck reading!" | 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." |
Bio Melt (2015) Carlton Mellick III "The literary equivalent of putting your brain in a blender." | The Terminal (2016) Amber Fallon "A fun debut sure to appeal to fans of J.f. Gonzalez." | Hex-Rated (2017) (Brimstone Files, book 1) Jason Ridler "Deliciously uncomfortable, wonderfully gritty, and a worthy successor to the occult detectives of old." |
