Stephen Graham Jones, My Heart Is a Chainsaw

“Horror fans [will] be blown away by this audacious extravaganza.”
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Dervla McTiernan, The Good Turn
(Blackstone)
“A simply brilliant writer.”
Don Winslow
Paula Hawkins, A Slow Fire Burning
(Riverhead)
“The flaws of each character will surprise and perhaps even enchant you — and only a clairvoyant could anticipate the book’s ending.”
The New York Times Book Review
Jaye Viner, Jane of Battery Park
(Red Hen Press)
“A touching love story superimposed on a tale from America’s dark side. Jane of Battery Park has the propulsiveness and gripping plot twists of a thriller but also meditates deeply on loss, belonging, and redemption.”
Jennie Melamed
JP Pomare, The Last Guests
(Mulholland)
“This twisty thriller keeps readers guessing until the final pages, as Lina, her husband, and the voyeurs who watch navigate a web of deceit and betrayal.”
Booklist
Karen Cleveland, You Can Run
(Ballantine Books)
“[Karen] Cleveland plunges the reader into a terrifying world of shifting alliances, action, and intrigue. Fans of strong, decisive female characters will find much to like.”
Publishers Weekly
Mark Piesing, N-4 Down: The Hunt for the Arctic Airship Italia
(Custom House)
“N-4 Down is a gripping, detailed tale of exploration, betrayal and rescue. Mark Piesing has crafted a fascinating recounting of a liminal time when flying and polar expeditions were equally risky, so of course people tried to combine them. Think The Terror, but with airships.”
Charles Arthur
Daryl Gregory, Revelator
(Knopf)
“An addictive tale of historical horror . . . Gregory ratches up the tension in stunning prose . . . a thrilling ride.”
Publishers Weekly
Suzanne Chazin, The Fragile Edge
(Kensington)
“This is everything a great suspense novel should be. First rate and highly recommended.”
Lee Child
Nancy Marie Brown, The Real Valkyrie: The Hidden History of Viking Warrior Women
(St. Martin’s Press)
“Stirring… passionate…undoubtedly entertaining… A fine lesson in Old Norse culture and history.”
