Fiction Genre Fiction Horror Literature & Fiction Mystery, Thriller & Suspense ThrillersLet me get one thing straight first. One reader of the first book in the Pine Deep trilogy fired some idiotic salvo accusing Maberry of paying people $500 to write favorable reviews. A couple of others picked up that ludicrous refrain for this book. Now, in a world full of intelligent readers there would be no need to respond to such blithering numbskulls. I'm sure Maberry himself feels no need to take such fools seriously...

Maberry's greatest strengths lie in mixing action with atmospheric suspense. He does the spooky woods thing as well as anyone out there...

In the middle of summer, Jonathan Maberry delivers a cold October chill, and it's not just from his poetic evocation of autumn in a place called Pine Deep. Maberry's writing gives ruined flesh, curdled blood and bleached white bones to the childhood fears that quickened your steps as you walked home at nightfall in late October, fears that you had just about gotten over. Reading Maberry's books, you can't help wondering if...
