Five Book Covers, Five Nights: SAVAGE SPECIES, Part Three: DARK ZONE

Posted on by Jonathan Janz

Howdy, friends! As I solemnly vowed last night, here’s the second in my series of five consecutive book covers, which is from the third installment of my upcoming serial novel SAVAGE SPECIES. This is the  cover that made my wife recoil, frown, whisper “Oh my” as though I’d just shown her a photo of a gutted animal carcass, and then promptly leave the room. So given that reaction, is it any surprise that I absolutely LOVE the Angela Waters-designed cover for SAVAGE SPECIES, Part Three: DARK ZONE?

Yep. I love it. And I especially love how it captures the horrific plight of my characters in that section of the novel. Now might be the time to mention that if you’re not a horror fan (or a fan of dark suspense), you might not find this story very…comforting. It’s vicious and harrowing (in my humble opinion), so if you do decide to take the plunge—and I really hope you do—you’ll be in for a wild and very dark ride.

So there you have it! The artwork for Part Four of SAVAGE SPECIES will be featured right here tomorrow night. I hope you stop by for that. I especially hope you download the FREE first installment of the book right here. Have a good one!

    1. Dude, I knew you’d like that one. You and I have tastes so similar, it’s a little eerie. Full disclosure: I was going to suggest something similar to what eventually became your EVIL ETERNAL cover. I bet you requested something like that, didn’t you? When I saw those eyes over the city, I thought, “Man, that’s a great cover. And DANG IT! I wanted to do something like that!”

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.
