Five Book Covers, Five Nights: DUST DEVILS

Posted on by Jonathan Janz

Here we are, folks. The “Five Book Covers, Five Nights” series wraps up tonight with the world premiere of my February 2014 vampire western DUST DEVILS. I’m very proud of this puppy and can’t wait for you all to read it. Before I tell you what it’s about, here’s Angela Waters’s splendid artwork:

DustDevils-H-1

And the synopsis:

When the traveling actors recruited his wife for a plum role, Cody Wilson had no idea they would seduce and murder her. Twelve-year-old Willet Black was equally unsuspecting the night the devils slaughtered everyone he loved. Now Cody and Willet are bent on revenge, but neither of them suspects the true nature of their adversaries. 

For the actors are vampires. Their taste for human flesh is insatiable, and their lust for comely young women is consuming. Even if word of their atrocities were to spread, it would take an army to oppose them. But it is 1885 in the wilds of New Mexico, and there is no help for Cody and Willet. The two must confront the devils or die trying. But there is something worse than being murdered by monsters. There is damnation.

So there you have it. I’ll talk much more about DUST DEVILS as we draw closer to the release date, but for now I’ll focus on THE DARKEST LULLABY, which came out a mere twelve days ago, and SAVAGE SPECIES, the serial novel set to explode on June 4th.

Thank you for checking out my new cover, and feel free to stop in any time.

      4. Did you get my email the other day? I’m going to send it to you, but I’ll probably wait until Don D’Auria and the line editor have a crack at it. That way you’ll read a more complete manuscript.

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.
