Richard Chizmar recommends
The Queen (2024)
Nick Cutter
"Nick Cutter is a spinner of nightmares and The Queen is his darkest magic trick yet. A nerve-shattering story of friendship and secrets, terror and revulsion, it's that rare gem of a horror novel that will touch your heart and then rip it right out of your chest, bloody and still beating. Don't miss this stunner!"
When the Night Falls (2024)
Glenn Rolfe
"Rolfe's writing is a wonderful throwback to the fun and bloody days of paperback horror glory."
Lost Man's Lane (2024)
Scott Carson
"Scott Carson has done it again. LOST MAN'S LANE is a richly imagined, terrifying trip down memory lane. High school keggers and small town legends, first loves and heartbreaks, serpents and secrets - it's all here in one action-packed story. Poignant, nostalgic, and profoundly unsettling, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Carson is a spellbinding storyteller and LOST MAN'S LANE is his best yet."
