“Michael Rowe’s talent shines through in this terrifying story of
social persecution [and] black magic.” —Lee Thomas, Lambda Literary
and Bram Stoker Award–winning author
“Michael Rowe is one of those writers who can swing from the
eloquent prose of a Peter Straub to the brutality of a Richard
Laymon. His novels Enter, Night, and Wild Fell were excellent
examples of pushing the envelope while holding onto what makes the
genre so good. October is the best of Rowe’s writing yet.”

“The kind of horror novel a lot of adults needed when they were
kids. Michael Rowe understands that while it gets better for some
people, not everyone can afford to sit back and wait if they want
to survive. A powerful and powerfully frightening tale about making
hard choices in the name of survival, and what those choices cost.”
—Bracken MacLeod, author of 13 Views of the Suicide Woods
