Praise for
The Condemned:“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

Praise for
The Condemned:“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

Praise for
The Condemned:“David Jack Bell’s THE CONDEMNED is an exciting, fast-paced novel with a highly original spin on the zombie mythos. As thought-provoking, moving, and socially relevant as it is brutal and horrifying, THE CONDEMNED is a remarkable first novel that will undoubtedly secure Bell’s position as an electrifying new voice in the genre.”
—Greg F. Gifune , Author of The Bleeding Season and Down to Sleep

The Condemned:“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

The Girl in the Woods:
"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
