Savage Species

Jesse thinks he’s caught a break when he, Emma (the girl of his dreams), and her friend are assigned by their newspaper to cover the opening weekend of a sprawling new state park. But the construction of the park has stirred an evil that has lain dormant for nearly a hundred years, and the three young people-as well as every man, woman, and child unlucky enough to be attending the Algonquin Falls grand opening-are about to encounter the most horrific creatures to ever walk the earth.
AUTHOR: Jonathan Janz grew up between a dark forest and a graveyard, which explains everything. Brian Keene named his debut novel The Sorrows the best horror novel of 2012. The Library Journal deemed his follow-up, House of Skin, reminiscent of Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House and Peter Straub’s Ghost Story. In early 2017, his novel Exorcist Falls was released to critical acclaim. Since then Jonathan’s work has been lauded by writers like Jack Ketchum, Edward Lee, Tim Waggoner, Bryan Smith, and Ronald Kelly.
