Blurbs for MONSTROUS
Hopefully most of you are aware by now that I have a new novel coming out in September from Flame Tree Press. In terms of theme, ideas, and the writing itself, it’s a little more ambitious than some of my previous books, maybe more along the lines of something like SLOWLY WE ROT instead of, say, DEAD END HOUSE or yet another sequel to some previous book. Except that MONSTROUS is an exploration of cosmic horror ideas rather than a zombie apocalypse epic.
In case subscribers here haven’t encountered these yet elsewhere in the social media sphere, I wanted to share with you a collection of very nice blurbs I’ve received for this new book.
"With MONSTROUS, Bryan Smith delivers what might very well be the best novel of his career. A staggering work of cosmic horror along the lines of Brian Lumley, but pure 100% Bryan Smith. Must read!"
--Brian Keene, author of The Rising
“Bryan Smith has written a masterwork of cosmic horror, a swirling vortex of the surreal and the gritty, the beautiful and the terrible, the disorienting and the distorted into one cohesive and utterly terrifying story. Forget your understanding of reality; it's the plaything of something MONSTROUS. This is cosmic horror at its best.”
— Mary SanGiovanni, author of STRANGE STONES
“Every Bryan Smith book I read is always better than the last. MONSTROUS is bizarre, complex, atmospheric, and deranged. If you love watching horror on a VCR or plunging into the depths of a liminal nightmare . . . then this book was written for you!”
— Judith Sonnet, author of The Dwelling
“MONSTROUS just might be my favorite Bryan Smith book now. I've enjoyed everything he writes, and his latest tops them all. Can’t recommend enough!”
— Kristopher Rufty, author of WHEN WE WERE STILL SINNERS and PILLOWFACE
“The horrors Bryan Smith conjures in MONSTROUS are both imaginative and terrifying. This unforgettable descent into cosmic dread is a weird and unsettling masterpiece!” — Tim Waggoner, author of Lord of the Feast
