“Part Cronenbergian nightmare, part Lynchian mind bender. Highly recommended!”—Jay Bonansinga, New York Times bestselling author of The Road to Woodbury

“Slowly-mounting dread mixed with can’t-stop-turning-the-pages fascination. Recalls modern horror classics like Rosemary’s Baby.”—Matthew Costello, author of Doom 3

“All the more frightening because Deneen makes you care before he starts the scares. A powerful, engrossing, and relentless book.”—Chet Williamson, author of Robert Bloch’s Psycho: Sanitarium

“Deneen wonderfully concentrates the anxiety and emotional strain of trying to live up to the responsibility that comes with a growing family. The problem here is, part of that family is growing behind the spare fridge in the cellar. Deneen hatches all the darkest fears of having ‘one on the way.’”—Bracken MacLeod, author of Stranded

“Deneen’s latest book catapults him to the front ranks of today’s most exciting new genre writers. An old-school homage to genre classics, The Chrysalis uses themes of family responsibility and substance abuse, madness and artistic vision to create an unsettling mood that builds to a horrifying crescendo. This is a must-read.”—Nate Kenyon, Bram Stoker Award finalist, author of Day One

Reviews of Brendan Deneen’s The Ninth Circle:

“A fascinating read. A hauntingly told story, one to ponder long after you finish..”—Horror Novel Reviews on The Ninth Circle

“Eerily beautiful in its descriptions of the circus and its misfit crew. Realism and fantasy mixes well in Deneen’s hands. The Ninth Circle also fits solidly in a sub-genre of carnival themed horror novels that includes Katherine Dunn’s Geek Love, Ray Bradbury’s Something Wicked This Way Comes, and Will Elliott’s The Pilo Family Circus.”—HellNotes
