David Jack Bell

Praise for
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
Praise for
The Condemned:

“If David Goodis or Jim Thompson had written a zombie novel, it might have been something like this. It comes complete with a sly social commentary as well. Bell’s is an impressive debut...”

—Jack Ketchum, Author of The Girl Next Door
Praise for
The Condemned:

“In THE CONDEMNED, David Jack Bell has created a beautifully written and compelling novel, filled with fascinating characters, and turning on a unique storyline that may just make it a classic, in time."

—T.M. Wright,  Author of Manhattan Ghost Story
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 Girl in the Woods:

"David Jack Bell's THE GIRL IN THE WOODS is a deliciously creepy and deeply disturbing story of unnatural appetites and enduring evil. It's brisk, bizarre and brutal!"

—Jonathan Maberry, multiple Bram Stoker Award winning author of PATIENT ZERO and THE WOLFMAN
