Praise for Lake of Darkness
"This superb blend of noir and horror from Kenemore (Zombie, Ohio)
centers on the search for a serial killer who targets twins in
WWI-era Chicago...Kenemore keeps the tension high throughout. Fans
of gritty urban fantasy will want to read more from this gifted
writer."--Publishers Weekly, starred review "Scott Kenemore remains
one of the most original and chilling voices in horror. He knows
how to unsettle you, and how to ratchet up the tension. Read Lake
of Darkness and experience his masterful command of narrative, full
of dark dreams and unreasoning fear."--John Hornor Jacobs, author
of Southern Gods and A Lush and Seething Hell "With Lake of
Darkness, Scott Kenemore takes readers back a hundred years, to a
Chicago terrorized by a series of horrifying murders. Blending
trenchant social observations with vistas of cosmic horror,
Kenemore crafts a narrative that rockets its hero and its reader to
an ending unforgettable and resonant. Kenemore's previous novel,
The Grand Hotel, was a standout; with this one, he takes another
step forward." --John Langan, author of The Fisherman and Children
of the Fang and Other Genealogies
"First World War-era Chicago is the backdrop for this fast-paced
tale of madness, murder, and a streetwise detective on the trail of
a depraved serial killer. Lake of Darkness is a stylish, clever
whodunit that's rooted in the very bedrock of the city's
past."--Dean Jobb, author of Empire of Deception
"Scott Kenemore's new novel is a Chicago tale as strange and
bizarre as the twin murders at its heart. He recreates the past
with an unerring sense of place, delving into the nightmares that
haunted us then as much as they do now. Lake of Darkness is an
exceptional read."--Simon Strantzas, author of Nothing Is
Everything "If there is a definitive voice of Midwestern horror,
Scott Kenemore is it. He has infused Lake of Darkness with lean,
powerful prose and a deeply absorbing mystery. Fans of Laird Barron
and Victor LaValle will devour this refreshing blend of crime,
noir, the occult, and cosmic terror. It's a page-turning thriller
that shows, once again, that more people should be paying attention
to Kenemore's work."--Joanna Parypinski, author of Dark Carnival
Praise for Scott Kenemore "Scott Kenemore writes with a deadpan wit
that makes you keep turning pages." - The Cleveland Plain Dealer
(for Zombie, Ohio) "I think Scott Kenemore might be one of the best
literary stylists working in the horror field right now. Horror in
the heartland has a new master scribe, and his name is Scott
Kenemore!" - Joe McKinner, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The
Savage Dead and Dog Days (for Zombie, Indiana) "With Zombie,
Indiana, Scott Kenemore shows once again why he is the most
exciting author of zombie fiction working today." Matt Mogk, author
of Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Zombies, and President
of the Zombie Research Society " Kenemore creates an authentic
sense of place and character in ravaged Chicago as well as wittily
sustained tension throughout." - Publishers Weekly (starred review
for Zombie, Illinois) "[A] very clever, heartfelt [...] epic about
what might happen if the mayor of Chicago were eaten by a zombie on
television and aldermen instigated an armed overthrow." - Chicago
Tribune (for Zombie, Illinois)
