  • What's up horror fiends and book lovers?
    Today I wanted to continue my Author Spotlight series with a feature on another one of my favorite contemporary horror writers, Ronald Malfi! I have a pretty basic criteria for this series. Each author must have written at least three works of fiction, and I must have read at least three of their books. The author needs to be of the horror or thriller genre and have written books within the last fifteen years. That's it!
    If you have any authors you would like to recommend, feel free to comment them down below! :)

    I’ve been reading “They Lurk”. My first introduction to the author. I love his style. Pretty simple and direct. Not bogged down in so much detail. It’s like I’m watching the story play out in my head like a movie…

    Im reading Come with me, my first experience reading Malfi and so far im loving the vibe. His style reminds me of Blue velvet era David Lynch, not outright supernatural horror but a mysterious uncanny atmosphere. Cant wait to read more.

    I got Come With Me in a nightworms package. I read it almost immediately and it did not disappoint. That was my first Ronald Malfi book. Now I just want to read everything he’s ever written.

      Come With Me was soooo good! You should check out Floating Staircase. It's very similar in tone, but not quite as sad.

    I read Come With Me in October and loved it. I'd not heard of him before but definitely want to read more now I feel like I've "discovered" him.

    • @violetprynne
      @violetprynne  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      He's such a great author. If you liked Come With Me I definitely recommend Floating Staircase. It's also a creepy ghost story, very similar to Come With Me in tone.

    Picked up the Cemetery Dance "Little Girls," and gotta admit: Wasn't that crazy about it. But would like to give Malfi another try. Probably "December Park."
