The Raven

If you're searching the horror horizon for a dark star, your next must-read, the silhouette you see coming your way is Jonathan Janz. -- Josh Malerman, New York Times best selling author of Bird Box and Malorie At times, the book feels closer to Lee Child than Stephen King, with its monsters indulging in car chases and bar brawls, and all of the action is perfectly controlled by Janz. It's a fun, rapid read that should whet the reader's appetite for the future installments that the ending hints at. A perfect choice for fans of horror-sf hybrids, such as Rebecca Roanhorse's Sixth World series or Josh Malerman's Bird Box novels. The Raven is a melting pot of several favorite sub-genres and tropes resulting in the best possible mash-up a horror fan could even imagine. Janz brings a truly original perspective on the apocalypse and monsters and does it well in such a way that, given today's technological advances, doesn't seem that far-fetched at all. -- Splattergeist Fast paced and eminently readable, The Raven is a violent, post-apocalyptic, fantasy adventure with an intriguing premise and a likeable protagonist. -- The Book Beard One of the best writers in modern horror to come along in the last decade. Janz is one of my new favorites. -- Brian Keene Mr. Janz has a fine eye for the layers of personality and character usually hidden from the world. -- The Haunted Reading Room
