The Dark Fiction of Nate Kenyon.

Reviews


“Kenyon is at his absolute best with this novel, building tension that is palpable and horror that is absorbing. From the moment the shelter’s door clangs shut, the reader can feel the air go stale, feel the subtle panic rise, and wants the characters to get out in any way possible…It’s difficult to write a review of a book like Sparrow Rock because it twists and turns so much that every sentence could give away a key moment of suspense. Suffice to say the book is worth reading and will prompt many to re-read to catch a few of the things they might’ve missed. An excellent book that is highly recommended.”

“Stoker Award finalist Nate Kenyon will pull you deep into Quebec’s isolated rural landscape with the Bone Factory…laden with tension and genuine terror, this novel will leave you quivering.”

–RUE MORGUE Magazine

“A blistering, fast-paced tale channeling the likes of “Blade Runner”, “Johnny Mnemonic”, even a bit of “The Matrix”. Offering social commentary as well as thrills and intrigue, Kenyon shifts from horror to science fiction and cyberpunk smoothly, enhancing an already strong storytelling reputation and widening his repertoire…To say that this is Kenyon’s best work is a bit of a misnomer - indicating his other works are of lesser quality, which is simply not true. “Prime”, however, is much more ambitious, and offers serious introspection on the nature of man and technology…and where our world is headed. In a way - while carefully avoiding hyperbole - “Prime” offers a similar impact as Bradbury’s classic “Fahrenheit 451″, because in a world that becomes ever more “plastic”, where “reality” is so easily simulated…Kenyon’s story is hauntingly plausible.”

–SHROUD Magazine

“Kenyon’s masterful third novel weaves supernatural realism and vivid characterizations into a powerfully suspenseful plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat.”

“His best work to date…It’s wonderful to experience a novelist taking risks and improving with each new book. Here’s hoping that Kenyon continues that way. If so, he’s certain to become a writer worth following in the coming years.”

“Intelligent horror that under no circumstances should be passed up. Set against Canada’s wintry backdrop, “The Bone Factory” vibrates with atmospheric chills. With each page the horror builds, cresting into a frantic dash to the end. Kenyon excels not only at building tension, but creating characters that readers truly care about.”

“[Bloodstone] was a pretty strong debut for a young author so of course the big question was: could he do it again? The Reach is the answer to that question and, I’m happy to say, the answer is a resounding “yes”…Kenyon’s got a great grasp on his characters and a genuine talent for breathing life into them.”

“A combination between Firestarter and The Fury…another addition to the stable of “classic” horror revisited, which is always a good thing!”
