Gef at the Wag the Fox book blog has been announcing his top fives of 2012 in multiple categories this week. Today, he announced his top five novels of the year. Here’s what he had to say about THE SORROWS…

“The Sorrows by Jonathan Janz – Samhain’s line of horror novels is handily picking up where Dorchester’s Leisure line disastrously left off, and this haunted castle novel was a real stand out. I have Janz’s followup novel, House of Skin, and I’ve read a couple reviews that lead me to think it’s better.”

You can read the full list right here, which includes Harbor from John Adjvide Lindqvist (Let the Right One In). Can you imagine how excited I feel about my debut novel being mentioned on a Best-of-the-Year blog AND sharing the list with such incredible writers? Are you imagining it? Okay, now quadruple that and you’ll be in the neighborhood. Maybe.

You can purchase your copy of THE SORROWS right here and HOUSE OF SKIN here. And feel free to mention the book to your friends. I’m offering the first twenty readers who refer other readers to my work a free in-home body hair removal, eyelash extension, or termite inspection. But you’ve got to act fast!

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.
