About the Book

Robert Jackson Bennett makes a stunning debut with this deliciously dark tale sure to hold readers in its menacing thrall. The grinding poverty brought on by the Great Depression is nowhere more apparent than in the untold thousands looking for work along America's railroad system. But one man haunting the rail camps has been moved by an entirely different brand of desperation: revenge. And Marcus Connelly won't stop until he avenges his daughter's brutal murder at the hands of a monster known as Mr. Shivers.

Review :

"A ravishing debut...Supremely chilling, it never loses its grip in its journey to the edge of the apocalypse."

-- "Daily Mail (London)"

"A tale of quest anchored in dust-bowl desperation, Mr. Shivers creates a brutal new American mythology. Bennett weaves a modern combination of horror, historical fiction, and high-fantasy."

-- "Scott Sigler, New York Times bestselling author"

"Bennett is clearly a writer to watch."

-- "Times (London)"

"Bennett's novel is as riveting in its slow-burning accumulation of tension as it is atmospheric in its period evocation...The economical, persuasive characterization and the sudden shocking outbursts of horror owe something to [Stephen] King, the master of contemporary horror, but the brilliantly realized picture of dustbowl America is firmly in the [John] Steinbeck tradition. It's not stretching a point to say that, at times, Bennett's stinging but hauntingly poetic prose aspires to the quality of that author's best work...This terrifying odyssey through a blighted period in American history will stick in readers' minds for a long time."

-- "Daily Express (London)"

"Mr Shivers is a startling debut, a deft amalgam of thriller, cerebral horror, and American gothic, written with a stark and artful simplicity that complements the examination of struggling humanity pushed to its limits."

-- "The Guardian (London)"

"Set during the Great Depression and reading like a collaboration between Stephen King and John Steinbeck, this remarkably assured first novel relates a good man's desperate travels through the ruins of the American heartland on the trail of his child's murderer...Bennett makes dark fantasy feel like gritty realism, achieving a rare laconic eloquence that will captivate horror readers hungry for new voices."

-- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)"

"Sprinkled with hobo folklore, Bennett's supernatural dust storm of a debut offers a killer premise and may remind readers of vintage Stephen King."

-- "Amazon.com, editorial review"
