I've received a few advance paperback copies of Broken Barriers, the sequel to The House at Black Tooth Pond, from Crossroad Press (these are reserved for select individuals who contributed to the cause), and I'm rightly excited about it. The ebook and paperback are due for release on December 1, and the audiobook will follow shortly thereafter. Here's a few pics with a little foretaste of what's to come.
‟STEPHEN MARK RAINEY
is the only writer whose prose ever gave me an actual thrill of fear. In
Broken Barriers, he takes us back to the town of Aiken Mill for his own style of combined
Lovecraftian and Appalachian horror. The plot hurtles along, gripping the
reader with damn near unbearable tension as the characters scramble to make
sense of the horror overwhelming the sleepy college town. I sure stayed up way
too late, unable to turn the pages fast enough.”
—Matthew Carpenter, The Lovecraft eZine
‟A NEW NOVEL
from Stephen Mark Rainey is always cause for celebration, and
Broken Barriers, a direct sequel to The House at Black Tooth Pond, does not disappoint. Rainey’s story is full of subtle wit and creeping
dread, sitting somewhere near the intersection of Twin Peaks, The X-Files, Kolchak: The Night Stalker, and The Kingdom of Nye. I had a blast.”
—K. L. Young, author of The Secret Language of Spiders and
others
‟THE CRY OF
the whippoorwill is not what it seems, investigators are baffled, and the town
of Aiken Mill—often known as ‵the cold case capital of the world´—holds
ancient, terrifying secrets. Cosmic horror readers will devour this sequel to
The House at Black Tooth Pond.”
—Mike Davis, The Lovecraft eZine
