"Tim Waggoner's The Mouth of the Dark is what happens when Clive
Barker, Sam and Dean from Supernatural, and Chad Palahniuk go on an
acid trip inside of Eli Roth's Hostile."
*Halloween Eddie*
"When Waggoner goes weird- you keep turning the pages. Take a
chance and give it a read, but you’ve been warned: leave your
disbelief at the door and keep an eye out for those filthy
Dog-Eaters."
"The Mouth of the Dark is a unique horror story with an intriguing
mystery at its core. It's full of wicked imagery, outlandish
creatures, depraved desires and vivid situations that have you
seeing odd stuff from the corner of your eye."
*Yolanda Sfetsos*
"Tim Waggoner, you are a literary genius. This is an extraordinary
tale, a frightening, exciting, and thrilling ride from start to
finish. The Mouth of the Dark has opened up a whole new world of
wonder for me, I feel inspired by it, and I feel that it has
cracked open a creative door within me that I don’t think can ever
be closed."
*Horror Housewife*
"An eclectic assembly of everything macabre and terrifying, THE
MOUTH OF THE DARK is a riveting read you’ll keep reading long after
the sun has gone down. Seeped with dodgy oddities and unexpected
moments of betrayal and allies, this great work of fiction has left
me breathless in a way having run a marathon would or if you’ve
been binge-reading George R.R Martin’s WILDCARDS series."
*Splattergeist*
"A wild trip that keeps you wondering what the hell is going on,
it’s an amazing experience. It is highly entertaining read."
*Sci-Fi & Scary*
"The Mouth of the Dark is a fresh, fast-paced urban dark fantasy
that won't disappoint any fan of the genre."
*Black Static Magazine*
“I can always count on Tim Waggoner to find the weird in a story
and there’s plenty of that in The Mouth of the Dark. Tim has a
unique voice in the horror community and is a genuine wordsmith.
The book is filled with truly horrible images, yet I found myself
smiling more often than not. Sex, violence, and an all-around crazy
good time.”
*Cementery Dance*
“The Mouth of the Dark is weird. Seriously weird. Like bug-fuck,
batshit crazy weird. Tim Waggoner revels in weirdness here,
revealing new layers of oddities and arcane horrors on nearly every
page.”
*High Fever Books*
“I very much relished the weird and wonderful. I would love if
Waggoner decided to make a series out of it, as he’s crafted a
world I would enthusiastically return to.”
*Red Lace Reviews*
“Waggoner is imaginative and original, and The Mouth of the Dark
takes readers to an entirely new world of monstrosities. It’s
easily one of the most fantastic books I've read this year.”
*The Ghastly Grimoire*
“If you are a lover of horror and have a morbid fascination with
the strange and unusual, the understanding that there are things
living among us that are dark and terrifying but you are safe as
long as you can't see them (or are you) then I highly recommend you
read this book. Like it's messed up and weird at times but that’s
what makes it so goddamn beautiful.”
