If you'd like to read and review my new novel EDGING, please comment or message me. Thank you! --Michael
Intenze is the newest designer drug. Take it, and nightmares come alive. “Edging” is a better rush than the Tower of Terror. It’s a fraction of the price of a Six Flags admission. And it’s the most addictive high that the tiny suburb of New London has ever known.
For Rick Carlson, the junkies roaming the streets don’t even scratch the surface of what worries him. He’s trying to win back his cheating wife. He’s trying to protect his residents at Belmont Assistant Living from their own drug-addled grandchildren. And he’s trying to save his twin boy and girl from their mother’s murderous paranoia.
But he can’t save them all.
The fears of all those who edge summon the Thirst—a living miasma that thrives on terror. It is bringing a storm. And time is running out.
“Wild book… Fear is the purest emotion. In Edging, Michael Schutz shows you just how bad a trip it can be. Pain and pleasure, reality and perception—sometimes it's the same side of the coin."—Richard Thomas, author of Breaker and Tribulations
“Strap yourself in for a wild, terror-filled ride rife with mayhem and madness! Intense, unique, and stupefyingly brilliant. Highly recommended and a must-read for all horror fans.” – Kerry Alan Denney, multiple award-winning author of A Mighty Rolling Thunder and Jagannath
“EDGING is a wonderful accomplishment. It evokes the early shadow of King, but Schutz’s voice is unmistakably his own.” —Terry M. West, author of The Night Things series
“EDGING is a hallucinatory ride through a nightmarish landscape. If Jim Thompson and William S. Burroughs were to collaborate on a novel about dark psychedelic drugs, murder, and the supernatural, this would be the result. A fantastic and dark read that really does linger in the mind long after having read it.” —Jason White, author of The Haunted Country
