Praise For Dan Shraders Work
Dan Shrader’s THOSE WHO LIVE IN DARKNESS is an impressive menagerie of horrific tales that will send chills down your spine. Don’t pass this book up!
Matt Wildasin, author of THE BACK ROOMS
With THOSE WHO LIVE IN DARKNESS, Dan Shrader displays the range and talent to be a major new force in horror. Don’t read it with the lights out!
Stephen Kozeniewski, author of SKINWRAPPER
With a confident voice, unique style, and creative concepts, Dan Shrader explodes on the horror scene with his debut collection, THOSE WHO LIVE IN DARKNESS.
Candace Nola, author of DESPERATE WISHES
​
A book has never made me feel as if I were being watched from the shadows the way this one did. Dan Shrader has woven a web of terror that like flies we will all soon be trapped within, fighting for our escape.
Stuart Bray, author of Violence on the Meek
Soulless Lonesome is a perfect blend of bleak atmosphere and explosive
pacing,
something any Horror-Noir fan can sink their teeth into.
Sidney Shiv, author of WHERE DEMONS DINE
This story reminds one, of an Italian horror movie from the 70s. It has action, supernatural elements, and surprising reveals. Fast-paced and intense, you'll be unable to put this down!
Somer Canon, author of You're Mine
Dan Shrader has produced a well-rounded, fantastic piece of work. Perfectly paced, and fabulously 80's... I could hear the synth pop film score right the way through. It gave me an ANGEL HEART feel but with a gritty inner city setting. I loved it!
D.E. McCluskey, author of Crack
Soulless Lonesome is not a book as much as a tense, cinematic thriller laced with dread that evolves to a horrific conclusion. Imagine a film written by Clive Barker and directed by David Cronenberg.
Chisto Healy, author of Two of a Kind
Soulless Lonesome is a wolf in sheep's clothing - what at first feels so much like a classic crime thriller quickly turns on its head and drags the reader down a fast-paced rollercoaster of a story with a cult, monsters, and devilish deals. Shrader seamlessly slips in the twists and turns making this a book that must be read in a single sitting.
