Hey, friends. This is a big and busy writing weekend for me, so let’s get right to it. Here’s the cover of my upcoming novel CHILDREN OF THE DARK, courtesy of Sinister Grin Press and the incredible cover artist Matthew Revert: And just for giggles, here’s the full paperback wrap, courtesy of Matthew Revert (of course) […]
Read more "CHILDREN OF THE DARK Cover Reveal"Inspired by my friend and one of my favorite writers Brian Keene, I thought I should also write a post about who I am and where to start with my work if you’re not familiar with it. Jonathan Janz is the pen name for a husband/father, teacher, and author (in that order) who lives […]
Read more "My Name Is Jonathan Janz, and I’m a Horror Writer"Last week I appeared with Hunter Shea and Jack Campisi on their wonderful MONSTER MEN show. Well, that interview/discussion turned into two interviews/discussions, and the second installment is available to watch now. It’s about vampires. And my novel DUST DEVILS. Because it contains vampires. In addition to that, we talk about FRIGHT NIGHT. ‘SALEM’S LOT […]
Read more "The Monster Men and I Take on Vampires!"Howdy, friends! Here’s a new interview with me that discuss all sorts of things, including some seriously exciting stuff… Castle of Ambition: Walking the Halls of Darkness with Author Jonathan Janz.
Read more "Castle of Ambition: Walking the Halls of Darkness with Author Jonathan Janz"Hey, all. Audio Realms Publishing is now releasing my novel SAVAGE SPECIES in two formats, the same way Samhain Horror did last summer. You’ll be able to buy the serial novel in five installments or as one big whopper of an audiobook. The narrator is amazing, but I’ll talk about him in a later post. […]
Read more "Cover Reveal for SAVAGE SPECIES: THE CHILDREN Audiobook!"One of the coolest things for a writer is waking up to a great review. Well, here’s a WONDERFUL review from my good friend Erin Al-Mehairi at her awesome Oh, for the Hook of a Book blog. If you haven’t “followed” it yet, you need to. There’s consistently great quality there, and Erin examines a […]
Read more "Octane Loaded Second Review of Jonathan Janz’s Vampire Western, Dust Devils! Plus an Interview (Squeal All You’d Like)!"Howdy, pardners! Good of y’all to stop by the Janz Cyber-Ranch for some whiskey and—ah, I can’t do it. I know a gimmick is tired when I annoy myself with it. And while I typed the above opening, I very nearly walked away from the keyboard. *shivers* So I’m blogging tonight for two reasons. One, […]
Read more "Shattered Ravings on DUST DEVILS: “This showcases Janz’s talent as a master storyteller”"If you’ve spent any time around the horror genre, you’ve heard of Mark Justice. Author, reviewer, and mastermind of the wonderful Pod of Horror podcast, Mark is an integral member of the horror community and a man whose opinion I value highly. So it was with great joy that I read today his list of the […]
Read more "SAVAGE SPECIES Named One of the Year’s Top Three Horror Novels!"I finished Under the Dome a few days ago. I haven’t seen the mini-series, nor do I want to for a good while. That has nothing to do with the negative comments I’ve heard about the aforementioned adaptation and everything to do with one simple fact: I don’t need to see a filmed version. Because […]
Read more "Stephen King’s UNDER THE DOME"We went about sixty hours without electricity. It was about twenty degrees for a good bit of that time. And you know what? We were still pampered compared to most of the world. No, I’m not going to go on some earnest rant about how much we take things for granted because, well, you know […]
