My novella quartet, October Nights, is currently on sale for .99! Don’t miss out!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "These four tales are somewhat interwoven and yet completely stand up on their own. There is a delicate balance of creepiness, dread, surprise, and hope that Kevin Lucia has executed with genius."—Bridget Brenmark, Lovecraft Ezine

★ ★ ★ ★ "Good storytelling, perfect characterization, and captivating narrative style..."—Mario Guslandi, Horror Tree

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "October Nights is a wonderful collection of long short-stories all linked around the Halloween season in a small American town where there's something unsettling lurking beneath the apple-pie homeliness. For some characters the town offers a chance for redemption, for others damnation. The feeling reminded me of Ray Bradbury at his 'Something Wicked This Way Comes' best."—Charles Christian, Weird Tales Radio

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "What really impressed me was the cinematic quality of the book. I truly believe this would make an excellent movie or mini-series. These four stories of ghostly goings-on, and the search for redemption, revenge, or the truth were written so vividly, I could picture each character and location perfectly. That's the sign of some bloody good writing!"—Kendell Reviews

★ ★ ★ ★ "One of Lucia's greatest strengths is making his town its own character, and here Clifton Heights feels like it is thrumming with an undercurrent of energy resembling that of a boiler with a broken pressure valve. Another strength is his writing flawed characters we know because (in some instances) we've been there (and hopefully we fare a little better)."—Joseph Falank, author of THE PAINTED LADY
