“Fracassi’s novel hits me like a cross between McCammon and '80s King. Might be one of them summer blockbusters readers love.” —Laird Barron, author of Worse Angels "A Child Alone with Strangers starts out as a slow burn procedural with supernatural elements and inexorably cranks itself into a pulse-pounding symphony of eldritch horrors and all-too-human violence. Philip Fracassi is the best sort of horror writer--one who is unafraid to hunt for light in even the darkest places." —Shaun Hamill, author of A Cosmology of Monsters When young Henry Thorne is kidnapped and held prisoner in a remote farmhouse surrounded by miles of forest, he finds himself connecting with a strange force living in the woods—using that bond to wreak havoc against his captors. Unknown to the boy, however, is that this ancient being has its own reasons for wanting the interlopers gone—there is something hidden beneath the house, tucked away in the dark, damp root cellar . . . waiting for its return.
Follow the dark yet hysterical memoirs of a brutish young man as he struggles with the confines of adulthood, women, and corporate America. A fast-paced, engrossing read that will leave the reader shaking their head in awe of the ultimate egomaniac.
For two days in the year 1862, the bloodiest battle of the American Civil War held theatre in southern Tennessee - a patch of land called Shiloh. Thousands of soldiers on both sides of the conflict lost their lives, and tens of thousands more were badly injured. For twin brothers Henry and William, infantry soldiers in the Confederate Army, the battle held more than the horrors of war. It was a portal to something beyond mankind, where demons tread and angels fly, where the spilling of blood brings not only death, but eternal damnation. "In Shiloh, Fracassi's powerful, precise writing immerses the reader in the savage brutality of a Civil War battle - an exquisitely harrowing precursor to the strange horror of the tale. A masterful, mad charge into the weird." - Jeffrey Ford This edition also includes the bonus tale Soda Jerk - A Sabbath Story!
