MORE PRAISE FOR BRIAN KEENE!

GHOUL

“Bursting on the scene with an originality and flair, it seemed that Keene was responsible for breathing new life into the zombie story for a vast number of hungry readers in the horror genre. With the publication of his newest novel,
Ghoul
, Brian Keene has finally cemented himself in as a leader of…the horror genre.…”

—Horror World

“If Brian Keene’s books were music, they would occupy a working class, hard-earned space between Bruce Springsteen, Eminem, and Johnny Cash.”

—John Skipp,
New York Times
Bestselling Author

“
Ghoul
reminds me of the early works of Stephen King. I got the same head rush reading
Ghoul
that I did the first time I read
The Stand
or
Cujo or ’Salem’s Lot
…Keene’s prose is both disturbing and beautiful… This guy is going to be HUGE. There is no doubt in my mind that I just experienced the future of horror literature and its name is Brian Keene.”

—House of Horrors

THE CONQUEROR WORMS

“Keene delivers [a] wild, gruesome page-turner…the enormity of Keene’s pulp horror imagination, and his success in bringing the reader over the top with him, is both rare and wonderful.”

—
Publishers Weekly

“Basic and beautiful, simple yet sublime. Keene is a virtuoso writer of…descriptive talents who can also trip out on the minimalism of American Gothic.…
The Conqueror Worms
is a… thoroughly enjoyable novel grounded in Keene’s fantastic control over his material.”

—
Fangoria

“
The Conqueror Worms
is a classic monster-pulp novel.…we’ve got Brian Keene now. Exactly the voice the horror genre needs.”

—Insidious Reflections

THE PRAISE FOR KEENE CONTINUES…

CITY OF THE DEAD

“In the carnival funhouse of horror fiction, Brian Keene runs the roller coaster! The novel is a never-ending chase down a long funneling tunnel…stretching the reader’s nerves banjo tight and then gleefully plucking each nerve with an off-key razorblade.…There aren’t stars enough in the rating system to hang over this one-two punch.”

—
Cemetery Dance

“Brian Keene’s name should be up there with King, Koontz and Barker. He’s without a doubt one of the best horror writers ever.”

—The Horror Review

THE RISING

“[Brian Keene’s] first novel,
The Rising
, is a postapocalyptic narrative that revels in its blunt and visceral descriptions of the undead.”

—
The New York Times Book Review

“
The Rising
is more terrifying than anything currently on the shelf or screen.”

—
Rue Morgue

“Hoping for a good night’s sleep? Stay away from
The Rising
. It’ll keep you awake, then fill your dreams with lurching, hungry corpses wanting to eat you.”

—Richard Laymon, Author of
The Woods Are Dark
