Praise for Boys in the Valley "The prose is precise, the terror's exquisite, and Fracassi's got his hand on the chisel going into your chest." --Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author of My Heart is a Chainsaw "Gut-wrenching, heartbreaking, and terrifying." --Andy Davidson, author of The Boatman's Daughter "A riveting, and horrifying, tale of survival set against a punishing and vivid backdrop. Think William Peter Blatty and William Golding blended together...but still the insights and angles are all Philip Fracassi." --Victor LaValle, author of The Ballad of Black Tom "This is not only a smart and deftly-written tale instilled with the kind of creeping, claustrophobic horror that I enjoy--Fracassi's got real love for his characters: you truly care about his motley band of boys, and their fates." --Nick Cutter, bestselling author of The Troop "Philip Fracassi amazes and inspires me. Full stop." --Gemma Files, Shirley Jackson Award-winning author "A gothic, gory Lord of the Flies ...The horror here is as much a warning on the dangers of human corruption as a testament to hope in the face of nigh-insurmountable darkness...Horror readers will be hooked." -- Publishers Weekly "A tale that will truly frighten, unnerve, and touch readers' hearts...a beautiful novel that should be -- will likely be -- remembered as one of the best of the young decade." -- Cemetery Dance Online "Fast-paced, relentless, and chilling without ever neglecting the human side of the proceedings. This is pure horror that should satisfy any fan of the genre." --Jeffrey Thomas, author of The American Praise for Philip Fracassi: "Fracassi makes terror read so damn beautifully." --Victor LaValle "Fracassi...builds his horrific tales slowly and carefully...he's especially skillful at creating, and sustaining, suspense." -- The New York Times "This Fracassi guy is damn good." --Richard Chizmar, New York Times bestselling author "Philip Fracassi's fiction is a mix of old and new school horrors, chock full of frightening monsters, demons, and humans. I always look forward to what he's going to do next." --Paul Tremblay, author of The Pallbearers Club "Fracassi...brings a depth of understanding to his monsters, human and otherwise." -- The Guardian "Fracassi's storytelling is...horror with a big, broken heart." -- Esquire "Philip Fracassi is the best sort of horror writer--one who is unafraid to hunt for light in even the darkest places." --Shaun Hamill, author of A Cosmology of Monsters "Philip Fracassi is an artist who paints with words...timeless and original." --Zoje Stage, USA Today bestselling author of Baby Teeth "A master storyteller." --Jonathan Janz, author of The Siren and the Spectre "His range, prolific output, and fast-paced prose are all set to put him on the shelf next to names such as King, Straub, and Thomas Harris." -- Signal Horizon, Praise for Boys in the Valley "The prose is precise, the terror's exquisite, and Fracassi's got his hand on the chisel going into your chest." -- Stephen Graham Jones , New York Times bestselling author of My Heart Is a Chainsaw "Gut-wrenching, heartbreaking, and terrifying." -- Andy Davidson , author of The Boatman's Daughter "A riveting, and horrifying, tale of survival set against a punishing and vivid backdrop.

Todd Scott , author of The Flock "A tale that will truly frighten, unnerve, and touch readers' hearts...a beautiful novel that should be -- will likely be -- remembered as one of the best of the young decade." -- Cemetery Dance Online "Fast-paced, relentless, and chilling without ever neglecting the human side of the proceedings.
