The late Richard Laymon would have been grinning ear to ear.” —Jack Ketchum, multiple Bram Stoker Award-winning author of THE GIRL NEXT DOOR and THE WOMAN“With DISMEMBER, Daniel Pyle joins the select group of authors who can provide real chills and genuine surprises. Taut, weird, and intriguing.” —Jonathan Maberry, multiple Bram Stoker Award-winning author of THE KING OF PLAGUES and ROT & RUIN“The tourniquet-tight plot and constant suspense keeps the pages flying. A solid, suspenseful thriller that enables readers to envision the movie it could become.” —Publishers WeeklyDOWN THE DRAIN“Pyle’s tight little monster tale packs a nasty wallop.” —Michael Louis Calvillo, author of AS FATE WOULD HAVE IT and BLEED FOR YOU“Horror should be fun. Scary, of course...but above all, it should be fun. Too many people seem to have forgotten that. Well, Daniel Pyle has not forgotten. With his novella, DOWN THE DRAIN, Pyle has crafted a tale that evokes all the eye-popping strangeness and excitement that got me into horror in the first place. I loved it, and I can guarantee you’ll never look at your bathtub the same again.”—Joe McKinney, author of APOCALYPSE OF THE DEAD and FLESH EATERS
