“Go out and grab this book as soon as you can. Because THE CONDEMNED is something you don’t see every day. It’s more than just a horror novel. It’s literature."
—Dark Scribe
"THE GIRL IN THE WOODS begins with all the terrible inevitability of a nightmare, and from those first words the reader is trapped, rapturously, desperately. Ruined lives litter this landscape. Lethal secrets lurk. David Jack Bell’s writing proves hypnotic, seductive, until a quiet sense of dread grows almost unbearable. With passionate intelligence, sensitivity and craft, Bell draws you in … and doesn’t let you go."
—Robert Dunbar, author of The Pines and The Shore
“David Jack Bell's THE CONDEMNED reads like a head-on collision between Dashiell Hammett and early Stephen King, with a touch of Robert Bloch's sly dark humor thrown in for good measure -- but its voice is very much its own, and the mounting sense of dread is undeniably palpable. This one will have you sweating during its final 50 pages, and your hands shaking as you turn those pages. Lean, mean, and ultimately quite moving, THE CONDEMNED is a rock-solid read."
—Gary Braunbeck, Bram Stoker- and International Horror Guild Award-winning author of Prodigal Blues, Mr. Hands, and Coffin County
“THE CONDEMNED gave me the tingle I felt when I read Richard Matheson’s I AM LEGEND for the first time. This is a wonderful, forceful, moody book that’s as palpable as it’s engaging. Pay attention to David Jack Bell. This is the start of an impressive career.”
—David Morrell , Author of First Blood
“David Jack Bell writes with freshness and immediacy, and I look forward to following his bright arc across the horror heavens.”
—Scott Nicholson, Author of The Red Church
