“One of the best writers in modern horror to come along in the last decade” –Brian Keene

Posted on by Jonathan Janz

The title of this post says it all, but I’ll go ahead and share the full quote since it made me so happy:

“One of the best writers in modern horror to come along in the last decade. Janz is one of my new favorites.” –Brian Keene

The above words were penned by one of my favorite writers, a major influence on my work, and a man who is one of only twenty-four writers ever to be awarded the title Grand Master of Horror (along with Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Ray Bradbury). There are many things I’d like to say about this blurb, but I’ll pretty much let it speak for itself. Otherwise, I’ll just sound gushy and giddy and saccharine. Or maybe I just did. Either way, I’m honored and humbled.

Thank you, Brian.

And I hope you all have a fantastic night.

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.
