Second Review for EXORCIST ROAD: “A novella that will propel him to the top of the horror field”

Posted on by Jonathan Janz

Howdy, friends! My new Samhain Horror release EXORCIST ROAD is receiving an extremely positive welcome. There will be more news about this novella soon, but for now, let’s focus on its second review, this one from the “Not Too Terrible” review blog. Here is my favorite part:

“Riffing on the exorcism theme, newcomer Jonathan Janz delivers a novella that will propel him to the top of the horror field. What makes Exorcist Road stand out from your random run-of-the-mill horror novella is not just the quality of writing (which is superb) but also the creativity and addition of foreign elements to this story to take its intensity to the next level. This isn’t just a straight forward, priest-is-here-demon-is-exorcised story. Janz adds the “locked room” element and masterfully places Red Herrings throughout the entire book. Those will keep you guessing until the end.”

Before I forget, did I mention I’ll be doing a book signing this weekend at a major convention? More on that tomorrow…

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.
