"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." -MonsterLibrarian.com
"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
