  PRAISE FOR DANIEL PYLE

  DISMEMBER

  Dismember’s a fast-paced grindhouse-movie of a book with plenty of unexpected twists and turns and a fresh new crazy for a villain. The late Richard Laymon would have been grinning ear to ear.

  —Jack Ketchum

  With Dismember, Daniel Pyle joins the select group of authors who can provide real chills and genuine surprises. Taut, weird, and intriguing.

  —Jonathan Maberry, multiple Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Dragon Factory and The Wolfman

  The tourniquet-tight plot and constant suspense keeps the pages flying. A solid, suspenseful thriller that enables readers to envision the movie it could become.

  —Publishers Weekly

  DOWN THE DRAIN

  Pyle's tight little monster tale packs a nasty wallop.

  —Michael Louis Calvillo, author of I Will Rise and As Fate Would Have It

  Horror should be fun. Scary, of course…but above all, it should be fun. Too many people seem to have forgotten that. Well, Daniel Pyle has not forgotten. With his novella, Down the Drain, Pyle has crafted a tale that evokes all the eye-popping strangeness and excitement that got me into horror in the first place. I loved it, and I can guarantee you’ll never look at your bathtub the same again.

  —Joe McKinney, author of Dead City and Apocalypse of the Dead

  Mountain Madness is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents either are the product of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual persons—living or dead—events, or locales is entirely coincidental.
