Notă biografică
Jonathan
Janz grew
up
between
a
dark
forest
and
a
graveyard,
which
explains
everything.
Brian
Keene
named
his
debut
novel The
Sorrows "the
best
horror
novel
of
2012." The
Library
Journal deemed
his
follow-up,
House
of
Skin,
"reminiscent
of
Shirley
Jackson's The
Haunting
of
Hill
House and
Peter
Straub's Ghost
Story"
Since
then
Jonathan's
work
has
been
lauded
by
writers
like
Jack
Ketchum,
Edward
Lee,
Tim
Waggoner,
Bryan
Smith,
and
Ronald
Kelly.
Novels
like The
Nightmare
Girl, Wolf
Land, Savage
Species,
and Dust
Devils prompted
Thunderstorm
Books
to
sign
Jonathan
to
an
eleven-book
deal
and
to
give
him
his
own
imprint,
Jonathan
Janz's
Shadow
Side.
His
novel Children
of
the
Dark received
a
starred
review
in
Booklist
and
was
chosen
by
their
board
as
one
of
the
Top
Ten
Horror
Books
of
the
Year
(August
2015-September
2016). Children
of
the
Dark will
soon
be
translated
into
German
and
has
been
championed
by
the
Library
Journal,
the School
Library
Journal,
and Cemetery
Dance.
In
early
2017,
his
novel Exorcist
Falls was
released
to
critical
acclaim.
Jonathan's
primary
interests
are
his
wonderful
wife
and
his
three
amazing
children,
and
though
he
realizes
that
every
author's
wife
and
children
are
wonderful
and
amazing,
in
this
case
the
cliché
happens
to
be
true.

Recenzii
"One
of
the
best
writers
in
modern
horror
to
come
along
in
the
last
decade.
Janz
is
one
of
my
new
favorites."
"Mr. Janz has a fine eye for the layers of personality and character usually hidden from the world."
"Equal parts Lord of the Flies mixed with The Girl on the Train with a cast of unreliable and shifty personalities, this novel belongs with the best thrillers on the bookshelf and should be on yours, stat."
"Full of wicked imagery and precision placed scare tactics, The Dark Game doesn't disappoint on the spooky scale."
"Dark, violent, and twisted, The Dark Game blends horror with a character study to disturbing effect."
"In his latest pulp horror gem, Janz channels early Stephen King to twist the story of a secluded writers’ retreat into something unique and thought-provoking."
"The Dark Game is a book I would highly recommend and sits high on my list of favorite reads this year."
"This novel is a treat for horror fans, yes, but it will have wider appeal as it manages to both scare and comment on the joy of reading. Many will be drawn into this fast-paced thriller, readers who love the pulp horror of Brian Keene, the dark twists of Sarah Pinborough, or the terrifying and emotional storytelling of Paul Tremblay."
"The game he plays may be dark, but his writing shines brightest in the shadows."
"The Dark Game is a creepy and fast-paced read with excellent characterization"
"...fast-paced, gory and psychologically horrifying"
"In THE DARK GAME Janz showcases this ability to virtually bring his characters to life."
“…incredible whirlwind of nightmarish suspense…”
“If you love horror stories featuring plenty of characters and plenty of gruesome moments, I definitely recommend checking this book out.”
“If you enjoy reading books with eeriness and suspense, then pick up this book.”
“Jonathan Janz may be rising above the “rising star” of horror status with several highly regarded novels under his belt. The Dark Game is another great novel to add to his list.”
“I'm sure we've all heard authors explain how, often as they write a character will take over the story and will take it in directions the author never intended. Well, The Dark Game is this idea on acid.”
“The end result is a story showcasing an author at the top of his own dark game.”
“Janz spins a nasty little tale of psychological and supernatural horror”
“If someone told you this is actually a novel Stephen King had written and forgotten about [...] this is without a doubt the end result of that long-winded metaphor.”
“Janz’s writing has a way of pulling rabbits out of hats with his plots that fit well within the confines of his story”
