  • “DEVIL'S CREEK is the kind of book you have to read with your lights on. Hell, make sure your neighbors have their lights on too!”

    —S.A. Cosby, New York Times best-selling author of Razorblade Tears and Blacktop Wasteland

  • “Todd Keisling is a cosmic cartographer forging through the darkest depths of our nightmares. He is a bard of the abyss, a voice from the void, and the horrors he’s charted within COLD, BLACK & INFINITE will change the literary map for generations to come.”

    —Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Ghost Eaters

  • “DEVIL'S CREEK is a sprawling examination of the wickedness that lingers and blooms in a small town and how its history threatens to devour us all. In Stauford, Kentucky innocence is at constant threat by madness. To watch the worship of evil here unfold is compelling and compulsive.”

    —Cynthia Pelayo, Bram Stoker Award nominated author of Children of Chicago

  • “The comparisons to 80s-era Stephen King are apt but Keisling does it better here; he’s conjured a living, breathing menace and its name is DEVIL'S CREEK.”

    —Michael J. Seidlinger, author of Anybody Home?

  • “This is no imitation. This is original, fierce, and explosive writing. There’s a single note threaded beneath the music that drips from the sumptuous prose on each and every page. The note whispers to me and all other readers who are brave enough to listen: Keisling is a master storyteller.”

    —Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke

  • “I loved the story for the story's sake, but I also loved Keisling's array of human relationships and frailties, written with unflinching accuracy. Flawed characters seeking redemption, and others lost to their own wants or self loathing. At least half of horror is the human element, and it's drawn beautifully here. Highly recommended.”

    —Laurel Hightower, author of Crossroads and Below

  • “Sometimes you read a writer’s work and know it’s only a matter of time before you see their name on the bestseller list. Todd Keisling is one of those names, and one need look no further than the menagerie of horrors that is COLD, BLACK & INFINITE to see why. A stellar collection from a stellar writer.”

    —Kealan Patrick Burke, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Kin and Sour Candy
