HIGH PRAISE FOR THE FIENDISHLY FRIGHTENING BRIAN KEENE!

DARK HOLLOW

“Keene keeps getting better and better. Given how damn good he was to start with… soon, he will become a juggernaut.”

—The Horror Fiction Review

“Dark Hollow is another frightening entry in Brian Keene’s already impressive arsenal. The book deftly combines emotional terror and grisly gore with Keene’s immensely readable prose to create a gripping novel sure to please longtime fans and new readers alike.”

—Dark Scribe Magazine

“Dark Hollow is a powerful novel—it is Brian Keene presenting his “A” game, and that is about as good as reading can get these days. There is no reason to compare Brian Keene to any other author, living or dead. Brian Keene is a unique voice and talent, who is now sufficiently established in his own regard by his already impressive literary achievements.”

—Fear Zone

DEAD SEA

“In this age of an overabundance of zombie fiction what does Dead Sea have to offer that can’t be found elsewhere? Well, an intriguing protagonist, plenty of reanimated animals, a touch of the philosophical, some dollops of introspection, and plenty of balls to the wall mayhem as only Brian Keene can write it.”

—Horror Reader

“Delivering enough shudders and gore to satisfy any fan of the genre, Keene proves he’s still a lead player in the zombie horror cavalcade.”

—Publishers Weekly

“A thrill-a-minute…keep the lights on!”

MORE PRAISE FOR BRIAN KEENE!

GHOUL

“Bursting on the scene with an originality and flair, it seemed that Keene was responsible for breathing new life into the zombie story for a vast number of hungry readers in the horror genre. With the publication of his newest novel, Ghoul, Brian Keene has finally cemented himself in as a leader of…the horror genre.…”

—Horror World

“If Brian Keene’s books were music, they would occupy a working class, hard-earned space between Bruce Springsteen, Eminem, and Johnny Cash.”

—John Skipp, New York Times Bestselling Author

“Ghoul reminds me of the early works of Stephen King. I got the same head rush reading Ghoul that I did the first time I read The Stand or Cujo or ’Salem’s Lot…Keene’s prose is both disturbing and beautiful… This guy is going to be HUGE. There is no doubt in my mind that I just experienced the future of horror literature and its name is Brian Keene.”

—House of Horrors

THE CONQUEROR WORMS

“Keene delivers [a] wild, gruesome page-turner…the enormity of Keene’s pulp horror imagination, and his success in bringing the reader over the top with him, is both rare and wonderful.”

—Publishers Weekly

“Basic and beautiful, simple yet sublime. Keene is a virtuoso writer of…descriptive talents who can also trip out on the minimalism of American Gothic.…The Conqueror Worms is a… thoroughly enjoyable novel grounded in Keene’s fantastic control over his material.”

—Fangoria

“The Conqueror Worms is a classic monster-pulp novel.…we’ve got Brian Keene now. Exactly the voice the horror genre needs.”
