The DUST DEVILS Ride in One Week!

Posted on by Jonathan Janz

Okay, folks. Barnes and Noble has already begun shipping the paperbacks. DUST DEVILS arrived at a slew of readers’ houses yesterday, and I suspect Amazon will soon be sending out these bad boys too:

The ebook version launches on February 4th, and if you pre-order at the Samhain Horror website, you can snatch it up for only $3.85 (the paperback, which looks even more gorgeous in person, is a mere $11.20).

I know every writer gets excited about a new release, but this one really is special. This is the first time I’ve written a novel in which there is left absolutely no chance for a sequel. The heroes must live or die in this book, and the villains must kill or be killed. And I like that.

Aside from being completely self-contained, this is my first western and my first emphatic word on vampires. This is a topic I’ll cover in further detail later, but for now I’ll just say that vampires remain a largely untapped area in horror fiction.

Yes, I really said that.

Why do they have to be attractive OR ferocious OR intelligent OR seductive OR depraved OR vindictive OR (insert adjective here)? Why can’t they be all those things and more?

If you’re not convinced yet, check out the first two reviews of DUST DEVILS here and here.

I think you’re really gonna like this one, friends.

Stay warm.

    1. Unsurprisingly, Jack, you and I thrust our wooden stakes in the same heaving torsos. Vampires can be sexy, sure. But can’t they be bestial too? I mean, what’s the point of a vampire if it’s only going to bemoan his fate and make doe eyes at young women? Give me the monstrous side too! 🙂

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.
