Curran manages to own the story and the monsters within it. I would say that this story has two of Lovecraft’s in it: The Colour Outer Space and Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family. “Nightcrawlers is a monster story and an ode to H. “Tim Curran’s, The Devil Next Door is dynamite! Visceral, violent, and disturbing!”īrian Keene, author of Castaways and Dark Hollow Reviewed by Joe Hempel, Horror Novel Reviews Every bit of it had a purpose and moved this story forward.” He does a great job of getting across just how dire of a situation this is through their actions and dialogue.

Each of the characters have their own unique perspective and voice of the events, and the group survival mentality is in full effect. I was wondering where Blackout might lead me when I got this from the publisher to review…Tim Curran builds on this with every turn of the page. Books like Biohazard, or The Devil Next Door are a couple that I’ve read that made my stomach turn. “Tim Curran is one of those guys that people talk about when you speak of ultra-violent and gory horror. Curran seems to have it in for the world … and he’s ending it as horrifyingly as he can.” “Shocking and brutal, The Devil Next Door will hit you like a baseball bat to the face. Something from the primeval dawn of the race. But for one man and one woman, survival means becoming something less than human. When civilizations ends…when the human race begins to revert to ancient, predatory savagery…when the world descends into a bloodthirsty hell…there is only survival. If you’re new to Curran, this is a great book to start with!” This is a perfect collection to read during October. His work is unequaled and I will continue to praise that without shame. The Brain Leeches, his newest in this collection, is the reason why I claim Tim Curran master of the genre.
All these tales are impressive and done in the way only Curran can project. A couple of these were new to me because I was unable to acquire their original publication source material.

Formless spawn from black gulfs of horror. The stars are right and the old gods are restless. Signed and numbered trade paperback edition is in stock and shipping!
