Sometimes I feel like the master of the bad analogy. I have another one for you here. Imagine you’re driving on a narrow, winding, two-lane mountain road with very little traffic. As you drive around curves in the road, you keep hitting potholes, which force you to slow down. If you want to get to the destination enough, you deal with it, but they’re still an irritant.
That’s how I felt reading Loathsome, Dark and Deep. The potholes in this case were copy-editing misses, each one minor, but comin...more

“—absolute in chills and suspense!”
Aaron Polson’s Loathsome, Dark, and Deep is the perfect book for horror, mystery, and thriller readers, combining a popular blend of genres adeptly. Beginning exactly where it should, troubled soul Henry Barlow receives a letter of duty with H&P Lumber and Pulp to relieve Edmund Curt from a small outpost along the Lewis River—something bad has happened to the men up there. It gets even creepier and continues to do so until the last page is turned.

With shades of Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, and highly appealing to fans of Max Brooks’ World War Z and its epistolary “documentary style” narrative, Loathsome is an absorbing read.

What a great read! Really enjoyed it. Thought there was a little Steampunk influence in there that I wasn't expecting but was very much appreciated. Utterly unput-downable. Downloading another of Polson's books as we speak...

I won Loathsome, Dark, and Deep from First reads. I look forward to reading it now that its arrived.
First off, Aaron's a pal of mine. Second, Belfire is my publisher too. So I really shouldn't say anything about it--should just click the stars and leave. But I can't help a little, so I'll just give two words:
Cinematic. Gripping.
Okay, I'll stop there. Really, though.
