Echo (2022)
Thomas Olde Heuvelt
"Can a place - say a mountain or a glen - be evil? Thomas Olde Heuvelt's long-awaited second novel ECHO delivers an emphatic 'Yes!' on a breath of icy air. His deft prose will have you absolutely frigid, sitting up straight and hearing every squeak in the house . . . and savoring every delicious frozen shiver."
thumb
Devil's Creek (2020)
Todd Keisling
"Todd Keisling's Devil's Creek is a thunderous jolt of that good old-time religion...or so we're lead to believe. Keisling handles this tale of a mysterious backwoods cult with aplomb, deftly moving the reader through the horror of American small towns and their secrets. Very much recommended."
thumb
We Are Monsters (2015)
Brian Kirk
"Brian Kirk’s debut novel We Are Monsters is a sure bet. A hippy-trippy jaunt that goes deep into the baser things we keep bottled up… and what happens when they’re freed. Highly recommended!"
