Reclusive Reads Compares CHILDREN OF THE DARK to…

Posted on by Jonathan Janz

…Dan Simmons’s SUMMER OF NIGHT. Seeing as that novel is a classic of the genre, I couldn’t be happier with the comparison. Here’s the full quote from Jon Recluse’s awesome review:

The Gorgeous Cemetery Dance 25th Anniversary Edition

“This one reminded me of Dan Simmons’ SUMMER OF NIGHT……but stripped down, built for speed….without giving up any of the horsepower. This one burns rubber, folks, and you’ll want to take it for a spin.”

Jon also gives CHILDREN OF THE DARK his “Highest Possible Recommendation.”

Have you preordered the ebook yet? If not, I hope you do. I’ll also let you know the moment the paperback goes up for preorder. Judging from the early buzz about Matthew Revert’s amazing artwork, you’re going to want a copy of one for your shelves.

  1. Dear Jonathan,
    Really liked Children of the Dark with a minor reservation. Matt Molgaard gave it to me to review for HorrorNovelReviews.com. The review is there with 5-stars as well as on Goodreads also with 5-stars.

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.
