“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
“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
"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
“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’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
