Double-Shot of Good News (NEW AGENT AND NOVEL #3!)

Posted on by Jonathan Janz

From Publishers Marketplace:

“Jonathan Janz’s THE DARKEST LULLABY, in which a young couple moves into an isolated country estate to raise a family, but the monstrous cult leaders who owned the land before them are hungry to return from the grave, and need one thing to make their resurrection complete: the couple’s baby, to Don D’Auria at Samhain Publishing, for publication in early 2013, by Louise Fury at L. Perkins Agency (World English).”

The two most important bits of information you no doubt noticed from the announcement were a) my third novel sold (!) and b) I have an agent (! again). I’ll be posting much more about this soon, but for tonight this’ll have to do. I’ve got some editing to do on Novel #4 and then some reading in George R.R. Martin‘s Fevre Dream.

I have a lot to tell you about my new agent, the awesome Louise Fury, and my third novel with Don D’Auria and Samhain Publishing. But for now I’ll just say that THE DARKEST LULLABY is very different than anything I’ve done so far, and that I really love the novel. It’s got a weird Paranormal Activity-meets-The Shining-meets-Rosemary’s Baby vibe that—

Enough. More later.

And by the way, the picture above reminds me of the forest in THE DARKEST LULLABY.

Jonathan Janz grew up between a dark forest and a graveyard, and in a way, that explains everything. Brian Keene named his debut novel The Sorrows “the best horror novel of 2012”. The Library Journal deemed his follow-up, House of Skin, “reminiscent of Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House and Peter Straub’s Ghost Story.” Samhain Horror will also publish his third novel, The Darkest Lullaby, in April. Savage Species will be his fourth full-length work. Look for his fifth novel, a vampire western called Dust Devils, in early 2014. He has also written three novellas (The Clearing of Travis Coble, Old Order, and Witching Hour Theatre) and several short stories. His primary interests are his wonderful wife and his three amazing children, and though he realizes that every author’s wife and children are wonderful and amazing, in this case the cliché happens to be true.
