Description: Praise for Lake of Darkness "Scott Kenemore remains one of the most original and chilling voices in horror . He knows how to unsettle you, and how to ratchet up the tension. Read Lake of Darkness and experience his masterful command of narrative, full of dark dreams and unreasoning fear. " - John Hornor Jacobs, author of Southern Gods and A Lush and Seething Hell "With Lake of Darkness , Scott Kenemore takes readers back a hundred years, to a Chicago terrorized by a series of horrifying murders. Blending trenchant social observations with vistas of cosmic horror , Kenemore crafts a narrative that rockets its hero and its reader to an ending unforgettable and resonant . Kenemore's previous novel, The Grand Hotel, was a standout; with this one, he takes another step forward." John Langan, author of The Fisherman and Children of the Fang and Other Genealogies "First World War-era Chicago is the backdrop for this fast-paced tale of madness, murder, and a streetwise detective on the trail of a depraved serial killer . Lake of Darkness is a stylish, clever whodunit that's rooted in the very bedrock of the city's past. "--Dean Jobb, author of Empire of Deception "Scott Kenemore's new novel is a Chicago tale as strange and bizarre as the twin murders at its heart . He recreates the past with an unerring sense of place , delving into the nightmares that haunted us then as much as they do now. Lake of Darkness is an exceptional read ."--Simon Strantzas, author of Nothing Is Everything " If there is a definitive voice of Midwestern horror, Scott Kenemore is it . He has infused Lake of Darkness with lean, powerful prose and a deeply absorbing mystery . Fans of Laird Barron and Victor LaValle will devour this refreshing blend of crime, noir, the occult, and cosmic terror . It's a page-turning thriller that shows, once again, that more people should be paying attention to Kenemore's work."--Joanna Parypinski, author of Dark Carnival Praise for Scott Kenemore "Scott Kenemore writes with a deadpan wit that makes you keep turning pages." - The Cleveland Plain Dealer (for Zombie, Ohio ) "I think Scott Kenemore might be one of the best literary stylists working in the horror field right now. Horror in the heartland has a new master scribe, and his name is Scott Kenemore!" - Joe McKinner, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Savage Dead and Dog Days (for Zombie, Indiana ) "With Zombie, Indiana , Scott Kenemore shows once again why he is the most exciting author of zombie fiction working today." Matt Mogk, author of Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Zombies , and President of the Zombie Research Society " Kenemore creates an authentic sense of place and character in ravaged Chicago as well as wittily sustained tension throughout." - Publishers Weekly (starred review for Zombie, Illinois ) "[A] very clever, heartfelt [...] epic about what might happen if the mayor of Chicago were eaten by a zombie on television and aldermen instigated an armed overthrow." - Chicago Tribune (for Zombie, Illinois )
