“If you’re searching the horror horizon for a dark star, your next must-read, the silhouette you see coming your way is Jonathan Janz” -- Josh Malerman, New York Times best selling author of Bird Box and Malorie
“At times, the book feels closer to Lee Child than Stephen King, with its monsters indulging in car chases and bar brawls, and all of the action is perfectly controlled by Janz. It’s a fun, rapid read that should whet the reader’s appetite for the future installments that the ending hints at."
"A perfect choice for fans of horror-sf hybrids, such as Rebecca Roanhorse’s “Sixth World” series or Josh Malerman’s “Bird Box” novels."
"The Raven is a melting pot of several favorite sub-genres and tropes resulting in the best possible mash-up a horror fan could even imagine."
“Janz brings a truly original perspective on the apocalypse and monsters and does it well in such a way that, given today’s technological advances, doesn’t seem that far-fetched at all.” -- Splattergeist
"Fast paced and eminently readable, The Raven is a violent, post-apocalyptic, fantasy adventure with an intriguing premise and a likeable protagonist." -- The Book Beard
"One of the best writers in modern horror to come along in the last decade. Janz is one of my new favorites." -- Brian Keene
"Mr. Janz has a fine eye for the layers of personality and character usually hidden from the world." -- The Haunted Reading Room

Jonathan Janz grew up between a dark forest and a graveyard, which explains everything. Brian Keene named his debut novel The Sorrows the best horror novel of 2012. The Library Journal deemed his follow-up, House of Skin, reminiscent of Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House and Peter Straub's Ghost Story. 2013 saw the publication of his novel of vampirism and demonic possession The Darkest Lullaby, as well as his serialized horror novel Savage Species. Of Savage Species Publishers Weekly said, Fans of old-school splatterpunk horror--Janz cites Richard Laymon as an influence, and it shows--will find much to relish. Jonathan's Kindle Worlds novel Bloodshot: Kingdom of Shadows marked his first foray into the superhero/action genre. Jack Ketchum called his vampire western Dust Devils a Rousing-good weird western, and his sequel to The Sorrows (Castle of Sorrows) was selected one of 2014's top three novels by Pod of Horror. 2015 saw the release of The Nightmare Girl, which prompted Pod of Horror to call Jonathan Horror's Next Big Thing. His newest release is Wolf Land, which Publishers Weekly called gruesome yet entertaining gorefest with an impressive and bloody climax. He has also written four novellas (Exorcist Road, The Clearing of Travis Coble, Old Order, and Witching Hour Theatre) and several short stories. His primary interests are his wonderful wife and his three amazing children, and though he realizes that every author's wife and children are wonderful and amazing, in this case the clichü¾Ž–”¼ happens to be true.
