Praise for bill Gauthier & The Monster in the Closet
“I *love* not-so-imaginary friend horror stories, and this is so, so good. The writing is excellent, as are the characters. It reminds me in the best possible way of Rick Hautala, his troubled characters. I’m loving it.”
Christopher Golden
Author of Carry Me to My Grave
“At first, Bill Gauthier’s The Monster in the Closet feels like a traditional love letter to iconic horror authors like Stephen King, Michael McDowell, Peter Straub, etc. However, this marvelously unique, terrifyingly unpredictable tale suddenly goes off the rails in an unexpected direction that quite surprised me, shocked me even. Imaginative, tense, and deeply heartfelt, this novel moved me and chilled me in equal measure with unforgettable twists and flawed, richly textured characters. Highly recommended!”
Eric LaRocca
Author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since Last We Spoke
“This book is designed to give single parents anxiety attacks. The premise is simple–what if your kid’s imaginary friend was both real and a monster like something from a fairy tale? Said monster…is lots fun, and frightening…. There’s a few nice, subtle veins of ’80’s nostalgia, and an anything-can-happen quality that keeps suspense running right until the end.”
Mason James Cole
Author of Pray to Stay Dead and Buster Voodoo
“Bill Gauthier writes the kind of horror I can get behind. To say it would be at home on a drugstore spinner rack circa 1987 is accurate but far from the whole story. The plotting manages to be careful and meticulous without the drag that often accompanies horror novels that try to juggle too much. It explores the world it makes its home in without embarking on bloated tangents. It introduces readers to a titular monster, unraveled layer by terrifying layer, never too much at once. In these pages, you’ll find fully developed, deeply flawed characters that aren’t always the easiest to root for, but never dull. In these pages, you’ll find horror done right.”
