I humbly vow to bestow my readers with more violence, hatred, evil, and bad things.
I am pumping more personality into the mutants, giving them a voice and life.

Wilderness by Roger Zelazny
“the tingling of ceased motion dancing over their skins.”
Roger Zelazny
The Troop by Nick Cutter
"You want more proof that the author testimonials on book covers aren't real?

Supposedly, Stephen King said the following about Cutter's novel:

"The Troop scared the hell out of me, and I couldn't put it down. This is old-school horror at its best. No" Read more of this review »

Josh Douglas is on page 155 of 304 of Wilderness: The hard thing about this book for me is that "The Revenant" is one of my all time favorite books and rereading the historical tale of Hugh Glass by a different author with a different take is like reading "Catcher in The Rye" by Lee Child or "Bridges of Madison County" by Charles Bukowski.
The writing is good, but sometimes he's trying too hard to write well and it feels like a bad Cormac McCarthy.
