Bentley Little recommends
Everything the Darkness Eats (2023)
Eric LaRocca
"Sherwood Anderson this isn't. In Everything the Darkness Eats, Eric LaRocca has created a truly modern horror story that boldly illuminates the harsh realities of life in contemporary small town America. His Henley's Edge is not your stereotypical community where everyone's a neighbor and every neighbor's a friend. It's a town where depression and loneliness thrive, where intolerance and bigotry undermine civic institutions, where isolation turns even loved ones into strangers. Horror fiction doesn't get more emotionally raw than this. A smart, sharp read with echoes of King's Needful Things and Barker's The Damnation Game, Everything the Darkness Eats not only has one hell of a good title, it's one hell of a good book."
The Stones In The Field (2016)
Michael Stephan Oates
"A profoundly heartbreaking work that digs into Personal costs of a kidnapping and terrorism."
Dungeon Brain (2012)
Benjamin Kane Ethridge
"[Ethridge] may very well point the way to the future of the genre."
Infinity House (2012)
Shane McKenzie
"Unflinching and uncompromising, tough and talented, Shane McKenzie stands at the forefront of the next generation of horror writers."
The Home (2005)
Scott Nicholson
"A terrific writer. Like Stephen King, he knows how to summon serious scares."
