This piece reminds me – in an almost poetic sense – of Hill’s insanely gratifying Locke & Key comic run. However, a few hundred pages in and I’m totally hooked. Genius piece that’s admittedly convinced me that Rice has a whole lot more to offer.Ġ7 NOS4A2 – Joe Hill: Confession time: I haven’t yet finished NOS4A2. This is a terrific tale that pits those vicious flesh-craving creatures against anyone and everyone. Until that is, the arrival of The Wolves of Midwinter. I’ve just never found Rice’s style too appealing. Don’t label me a chauvinistic pig, because that simply isn’t the truth. I’ve always found her work to be a bit too erotic, and well… sensitive in a feminine way. Miss this one and you’re missing something quite special.Ġ8 The Wolves of Midwinter – Anne Rice: I just want it to be known that I’m not a huge Anne Rice fan. A serious treasure that – I hope – doesn’t go unnoticed by the horror masses. This is an addictive piece that immediately grabbed my attention and refused to release its grasp. It’s a glorious piece that handles horror and character examination in equal measure. Richards siphons a plethora of emotions here, and he brings plenty of twists to the tale that will have heads spinning. Robert Jackson Bennett proves deserving of a place amongst today’s finest authors, and if you’ve ever had doubts, read American Elsewhere to have your mind totally and completely blown.Ġ9 Under the Ice – Tony Richards: Technically this is a zombie tale… but holy hell is it an amazing take on the subgenre. It’s a wonderfully written piece that forces the psyche to juggle an assortment of mind boggling circumstances. Dig on the best horror novels of 2013 below!ġ0 American Elsewhere – Robert Jackson Bennett: This is a piece fueled by paranoia and uncertainty. These are mind bogglingly good reads, and if you’ve missed any, it’s time to change that. The following 10 novels are the 10 novels that moved me in a serious way. There were a number of finely crafted pieces this year, and while I haven’t been blessed with the time to read each and every one, I’ve covered some startling pieces of work. As a fan, I couldn’t have asked for a superior year. Relatively unknowns gifted us with true magic. In fact, 2013 has been one of the stronger years for the genre in quite some time. There have been a number of stellar releases this year. Hill Jr.īook Review for The Demon of Decay by Alex C.
