“David Jack Bell is the real deal, a true storyteller with a style as compelling as a news bulletin. You just keep turning the pages.”
—Ed Gorman, Author of Different Kinds of Dead
"David Jack Bell explores the dark forests of the human mind through real characters and a brisk pace. A gripping tale that kept my stomach clenched."
—Scott Nicholson, author of THEY HUNGER
“David Jack Bell creates characters you care about and he tells you stories you’ve never heard before. He captures the melancholy wonder of the Midwest like Clifford Simak, but injects it with the mordant dread of Charles Beaumont. Watch out. This guy’s going to be one of our best.”
—Thomas F. Monteleone , Author of Stoker Award-Winning Fearful Symmetries and The Blood of the Lamb
"Just beneath the normal, lurk madness and waiting wickedness in David Jack Bell's THE GIRL IN THE WOODS. Because of the author's precise rendering of the mundane world--the one where we usually dwell, folks--its day to day fears and challenges and mysteries, the horror the novel reveals really does horrify. Bell gives us a world that's as real as an assisted living senior center or a police department's missing person report: we understand, we identify, we are there ... And then Normal vanishes and Terror hits. With neither zombie nor vampire nor next month’s frightful flavor, David Jack Bell gives us the genuine article: a horror novel."
—Mort Castle, author of MOON ON THE WATER
"David Jack Bell enters Charles Grant territory with THE GIRL IN THE WOODS, a novel of finely honed characters facing mysterious disappearances, madness, and loss on many levels. A masterful job."
— F. Paul Wilson
