“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
“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
"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
“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
“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
