Malfi is horror’s Faulkner, and Small Town Horror might be his best novel yet. Stylish, dark, and with a haunting, salty atmosphere, this is a superb novel about how the ghosts of the past always dance with those of the present. – Gabino Iglesias, Bram Stoker and Shirley Jackson award-winning author of The Devil Takes You Home
This is bedrock American horror fiction, sure to be a classic. Malfi deftly draws you down into the darkness of a group of friends in a small town (natch) who find themselves literally haunted by the secrets and mistakes of their shared past. – Chuck Wendig, New York Times bestselling author of Wanderers
Ronald Malfi is a talented storyteller known for the quality of his writing and the way he brings an element of elegance to the genre, and Small Town Horror - relentlessly creepy, unapologetically dark, and surprisingly heartfelt - might just be his best novel yet – Locus Magazine
I was blown away. – Sharon Virts, People Magazine
Small Town Horror blends the sunburnt southern noir of S.A. Cosby with the homespun haunts of Raymond Bradbury, creating a brackish blend of sin-ridden horror unlike anything else scuttling across bookshelves today. Ronald Malfi is the Bard of Chesapeake Bay gothic and the outright brine of this beautifully terrifying book will be steeped into your subconscious forever. – Clay McLeod Chapman, author of What Kind of Mother and Ghost Eaters
An eerie and deeply unsettling horror epic with faint shadows of Peter Straub and Robert R. McCammon flickering at the periphery. Small Town Horror is the kind of masterful and deftly written horror fiction that makes me fall in love with the genre all over again. – Eric LaRocca, Bram Stoker Award finalist, and author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke
This isn’t only Malfi’s masterpiece, it’s a heroic swing at the Great American Novel, and will be nakedly terrifying to anyone who’s been a kid - and to anyone who’s grown up with regret. This is heavyweight horror, a total knockout. – Daniel Kraus, New York Times bestseller and author of Whalefall
Malfi does what he does best: He creates fully fleshed-out characters and pitches them into uncomfortable and very realistic situations. Small Town Horror defies assumption. – Esquire
Malfi refreshes a familiar horror trope-the surfacing of a long-hidden secret-with nuanced characterizations and a genuinely surprising reveal. Christopher Golden fans will be especially pleased. – Publishers Weekly
