Praise for this book
"MALIGNANT SUMMER is a classic coming-of-age horror tale reminiscent of McCammon and Simmons, viewed through the lens of the 1990s, with the kind of horror that could only come from Tim Meyer's twisted imagination. Brutal, nostalgic, and full of heart, I couldn't put it down." - Todd Keisling
"A coming-of-age horror novel as good as any you'll ever read. The final 100 pages will leave you breathless." - Ronald Malfi
"Sprawling and immersive, Malignant Summer is like McCammon's Boy's Life or Simmons' Summer of Night but for the alternative-metal and grunge generation. A spooky, coming-of-age tale with tremendous heart!" - Lucas Mangum
