THE SUPERNATURAL SUSPENSE BUNDLE
Curated by David Naill Wilson
Suspense comes in all flavors and
stripes. Though they are often sloughed off onto the horror genre, Supernatural
Suspense novels have become a staple of the genre-bending best-sellers. Authors
like Stephen King and Dean Koontz have entrenched themselves in this sub-genre,
and over the years an impressive group of talented authors have added their
words, and their visions to the mix.
This Supernatural
Suspense bundle is curated by Award-winning author, poet, and now
publisher David Niall Wilson, who has been writing since the late 1980s and has
well over thirty books of his own.
Of this bundle, Wilson says:
“I was very pleased to be afforded
the opportunity to choose some of my favorite novels and authors and present
their work in such an affordable and unique manner. In a suspense novel, the
reader basically knows what’s going on – most of the mystery is pushed aside in
lieu of eventful moments, fast action, harrowing escapes, and the imminent
threat of something very bad happening. What I love best is that sort of a plot
with either full-blown dark fantasy, or at least the hint – the question – of
something supernatural behind the threat. It heightens the suspense, and though
– like most thrillers – the reader is mostly aware of the threat from an early
point in the story, there is always the chance that something evil and beyond
the control of the protagonist, hero, or whatever character experiences it that
will change the outcome completely.
Rather than choose books with a
common theme, or style, what I strove for in this grouping is variety. These
novels range from those where the supernatural is more in the minds of the
characters, as in Elizabeth Massie’s Bram Stoker Award-Winning Sineater
to – in the case of Clive Barker’s Weaveworld – a complete divergence
into another realm.
My own novel, On the Third Day,
concerns religion and miracles, and I’ll admit, that’s not too far from Thomas
Monteleone’s Night of Broken Souls, but the take on the subject matter –
the style of the suspense – is entirely unique in each. Pulitzer nominated
author Thomas Sullivan’s novel Second Soul is a dark tale of spirits and
guilt, while Aaron Rosenberg’s Incursion is the beginning of a series,
the novels of the O.C.L.T. – and deals with ecological issues and Native
American magic.
Brian Hodge takes readers from the
dark visions of the rain forests to the darker streets of the big city in Nightlife,
literary master Chet Williamson brings the darkness and his own deep knowledge
of theater and stage to play in Reign , and Mike Baron draws on the
seemingly endless secrets of the ancient world in his novel Skorpio. A
wonderfully literate grouping of truly fascinating works…” – David Niall
