Horror After Dark Raves CHILDREN OF THE DARK

Posted on by Jonathan Janz

Yo, friends. If you’ve recovered from my wife’s blog post about Indian food and her battle against urine-colored grout, maybe you’ll be interested in this marvelous new review from Horror After Dark for my March 15th novel CHILDREN OF THE DARK (courtesy of Sinister Grin Press). Here’s one of my favorite bits:

“Mr. Janz has the ability, just like Stephen King, to make you care deeply about his characters, only to put them through the wringer shortly thereafter. This story reminded me a lot of King’s work, specifically The Body, (aka Stand By Me), and It. I cared for Will and his friends just as I cared for Beverly and Richie of the Losers Club. Unfortunately for Will and his buddies, the ending of It seems like a party compared to the fate of the kids in Children of the Dark.”

The rest of the review is just as awesome. If you haven’t preordered the novel yet, I hope you do so. The paperback will be up for preorder soon too, and man, is it gorgeous (see above…and below).

Good night, friends.

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.
