The American Library Association’s Horror Book of 2017
Shortlisted for the 2017 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a First Novel
“Intensely realized and beautifully orchestrated Gothic horror.” –Joyce Carol Oates
“A meditation on horror itself. Why we read it, why we enjoy it… Stephen King-esque storytelling.” —The A.V. Club
“Suspenseful, foreboding and macabre, Kill Creek is high-grade horror, successfully bringing together old world classics like The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, elements of the highly stylised Japanese scare movies like The Ring, and a bit of Amityville Horror to give readers original twists and deathly scares.” —Fantasy Faction
At the end of a dark prairie road, nearly forgotten in the Kansas countryside, is the Finch House. For years it has remained empty, overgrown, abandoned. Soon the door will be opened for the first time in decades. But something is waiting, lurking in the shadows, anxious to meet its new guests… When best-selling horror author Sam McGarver is invited to spend Halloween in one of the world’s most infamous haunted houses, he relunctantly agrees. At least he won’t be alone; joining him are three other masters of the macabre, writers who have helped shape modern horror. But what begins as a simple publicity stunt will become a fight for survival. The entity they have awakened will follow them, torment them, threatening to make them a part of the bloody legacy of Kill Creek.
