Hey, friends. It has been a fun day at the Janz Ranch. Sledding. Snowman building. Charades playing. Pizza eating. Harry Potter reading. And, of course, editing my current work-in-progress, which I’m dying to tell you about but can’t yet because the contracts haven’t been signed…

But alas.

What I can talk about tonight before cozying up with William Peter Blatty’s terrifying LEGION is the fact that my upcoming vampire western DUST DEVILS received its first review today—and it’s a rave! Mark Brown from Dreadful Tales had the following things to say about the novel:

“Dust Devils is a tense and riveting tale which reaches a ferocious and breathtaking crescendo in the town’s saloon where all hell breaks loose.”

And this: “As with Janz’s other novels this fantastic story is grounded by wonderfully drawn characters and it is almost a shame to see even some of the evil ones ripped to bloody shreds.”

And just for good measure, this: “First and foremost a traditional Western Dust Devils is also a gripping horror story suffused with terror and no holds barred bloody action. With this novel Jonathan Janz lets fly with both barrels blazing.”

Check out the whole glorious review right here, as well as a pretty candid interview with me: http://dreadfultales.com/2014/01/20/dust-devils-by-jonathan-janz/

And you can pre-order DUST DEVILS (which releases in only two weeks) here, here, here, or anywhere else books are sold.

Gotta go now. Thank you to Mark Brown and Dreadful Tales for giving DUST DEVILS such a fabulous start. I hope you all take the journey too. I suspect you’ll find it worth your while.
