Edward Lee recommends

Glass Children (2023)
Carlton Mellick III
"The most original novelist working today? The most outrageous? The most unpredictable? These aren't easy superlatives to make; however, CarltonMellick may well be all of those things, behind a canon of books that all irreverently depart from the form and concepts of traditional novels, and adventure the reader into a howling, dark fantasyland of the most bizarre, over-the-top, and mind-warping inventiveness."

The Ecstacy of Agony (2023)
Wrath James White
"Wrath James White is the premiere author of hardcore horror. Period."

Kevin J. Kennedy's A to Z of Horror (2023)
Kevin J Kennedy
"This tome by Kevin Kennedy is a veritable cornucopia of macabre entertainment, and a lot of bang for your buck. The author creatively covers all the bases of horror, from the pathological to the apocalyptic to the downright extreme. There's something for everyone in this big juicy collection!"

The Night Stockers (2021)
Ryan Harding and Kristopher Triana
"Joining Ryan Harding with Kristopher Triana as a writing team is like smacking two pieces of uranium together REAL HARD. The resultant mushroom cloud will produce works such as The Night Stockers, a literary Niagara Falls of irredeemably explicit violence and full-thrust working-class diabolism with a very new twist: a SATANIC GROCERY STORE. It's hard to get more original than this, or more outrageous, or just more WRONG!"

Lakehouse Infernal (2019)
(Infernal, book 1)
Christine Morgan
"The coolest, ball-bustingest, most outrageous, and most ENTERTAINING horror novel you're likely to find in a long time."

Naraka (2018)
Alessandro Manzetti
"I am unable to think of a more original novel in any genre. Each paragraph is a delectable new treat in what you should think of as a diabolical Whitmanâ€™s Sampler from Hell. Iâ€™ve never taken LSD and now I donâ€™t have to; after finishing NARAKA, its hideous, chimeral imagery raced ceaseless Tartarean circles in my brain, like a spew of appalling living things, and I was helpless to stop it."

The Gentling Box (2008)
Lisa Mannetti
"A keenly conceived and richly executed cornucopia of the blackest magic. Mannetti's prowess as a writer hauls the reader into a shimmering, phantasmagoric demesne of relentless suspense and high-creep-factor chills, and doesn't let go until the final page. This story is a dark work of art."

The Jigsaw Man (2008)
Gord Rollo
"A superb excursion into modern horror."

Guises (2002)
(Horror of Charlee Jacob, book 5)
Charlee Jacob
"Charlee Jacob...is clearly one of the best new writers working in the horror field today..."

Deadliest of the Species (2001)
Michael Oliveri
"A big, plush, hot, creepy, erotic gem. To call Deadliest of the Species a great 'debut' book just isn't sufficient, nor would it be adequate to merely call Oliveri a terrific new novelist. This guy delivers a style and voice all his own, and I'm confident that Deadliest of the Species is only the beginning of a long list of offerings that will give the entirety of the genre a good, hard shake."

Graven Images (2000)
Gary Raisor
"The author is a guy who, years ago, brought us one of the best vampire novels written in modern times (Less Than Human). Mr. Gary Raisor."

Clickers (2000)
(Clickers, book 1)
J F Gonzalez and Mark Williams
"In an era of horror fiction that's often reckless and overboard, Gonzalez brings intellect and a studied, consummate craft to the table, creating tales the right way: with deft characterization, riveting plotwork, and imagery sharper than a carpet razor. This is a rare type of writer indeed, tackling even hardcore and taboo subjects with brains and creative brawn. If you haven't heard of this guy yet, believe me, you will. It won't be long before Gonzalez is taking big bites out of the field of horror fiction."

Toybox (1999)
Al Sarrantonio
"A dark treasure chest full of incomparable horror fiction."
