Joe R Lansdale recommends
 Moonbane (1989) Al Sarrantonio "Al Sarrantonio's Moonbane is a stylish B-movie of a novel. Fast paced and poetic, and scary in the old-fashioned sense of such fine B-chillers as The Cat People and I Walked With a Zombie." |  Yellow Moon (1994) David Searls "Creepy and atmospheric, Yellow Moon is full of small-town authenticity. It’s like an alternate universe horror version of The Andy Griffith Show." |  Recycled (2003) (Queen of Denial, book 2) Selina Rosen "RECYCLED is one hot SOB. It rocks with writerly rhythm and a beautiful and funny vulgarity." |
 Twisted City (2004) Jason Starr "Streamlined as a model's hips, dark as the inside of a dog's gut, Twisted City is a hip, white collar update on the James Cain, Jim Thompson style novel with a seasoning of its own." |  Through Violet Eyes (2004) (Violet Eyes , book 1) Stephen Woodworth "One cool idea and Stephen Woodworth makes it work like fine oiled machinery. Full of energy and suspense." |  Eat the Dark (2007) Joe Schreiber "Eat the Dark is a tight novel of terror. Well written, fast paced, with a grip like a claw. I loved it." |
 The Successful Novelist (2008) David Morrell "The Successful Novelist is the vehicle you want if you plan to drive your way to successful fiction." |  Voiceless (2014) Trent Zelazny "One of the best new breed of writers." |  Who Wants to be The Prince of Darkness? (2016) Michael Boatman "Dark and Wonderful." |
