Blake Crouch Books Overview

Abandon

On Christmas Day in 1893, every man, woman, and child in a remote mining town will disappear, belongings forsaken, meals left to freeze in vacant cabins, and not a single bone will be found not even the gold that was rumored to have been the pride of this town. One hundred and thirteen years later, two backcountry guides are hired by a leading history professor and his journalist daughter to lead them into the Abandoned mining town so they can learn what happened. This has been done once before, but the people who went in did not come out. Joining them are a psychic and a paranormal photographer the town is rumored to be haunted. They ve come to see a ghost town, but what they are about to discover is that twenty miles from civilization, with a blizzard bearing down upon them, they are not alone, and the past is very much alive.

Locked Doors

Seven years ago, suspense novelist Andrew Thomas’s life was shattered when he was framed for a series of murders. The killer’s victims were unearthed on Andrew’s lakefront property, and since he was wanted by the FBI, Andrew had no choice but to flee and to create a new identity. Andrew does just that in a cabin tucked away in the remote wilderness near Haines Junction, Yukon. His only link to society is by e mail, through which he learns that all the people he ever loved are being stalked and murdered. Culminating in the spooky and secluded Outer Banks of North Carolina, the paths of Andrew Thomas, a psychotic named Luther Kite, and a young female detective collide. Locked Doors is a novel of blistering suspense that will scare you to death. About the Author: BLAKE CROUCH was born near the piedmont town of Statesville, North Carolina in 1978. He attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and graduated in 2000 with degrees in English and Creative Writing. Blake is the author of four novels and numerous short stories. He lives with his family in southwest Colorado, where he is at work on a new book. His website is www. blakecrouch. com. PRAISE FOR Locked Doors…
Crouch quite simply is a marvel. Locked Doors is as good as anything I’ve read all year, a stay up all night thriller that will have you chewing your fingers down to the nub even as you’re reading its last paragraph. Highest possible recommendation. BOOKREPORTER Crouch’s story has much going for it, as does his considerable skill as an author. The story grips and propels the reader, while Crouch makes the ride hypnotic with beautiful Carolina moons over tide smoothed beaches. One wonders if a poet turned to horror, would this be the result. CHARLESTON POST AND COURIER Fast paced and scary. CALGARY SUN Crouch writes a nicely turned character, puts them front and center and then rains holy hell upon them until you think your head is going to explode.

KIRKUS REVIEWS Palpable suspense. Non stop action. Relentless and riveting. Blake Crouch is the most exciting new thriller writer I’ve read in years. DAVID MORRELL This tautly written, very scary thriller quickly grabs the reader by the throat. Leave the lights on; Luther may be out there. BOOKLIST When the story moves to the foggy, desolate Outer Banks, Crouch is at his terrifying best. You can feel the cold mist on your skin and see the creepy shadows barely illuminated by a distant cabin’s flickering light. A great horror novel takes you to a place so scary and vivid as to make you thankful you are not actually there, and Crouch does this well. DENVER POST This is a new millennium, and Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates and Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter have to be outdone. Crouch comes close. ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS Locked Doors is as suspenseful, chilling and macabre a novel as I’ve ever read. WINSTON SALEM JOURNAL

Serial Uncut (Bad Girl) (With: J.A. Konrath)

The original version of SERIAL, still available as a free ebook, was a 7500 word horror short story done as an experiment. Remember the twin golden rules of hitchhiking? 1: Don t go hitchhiking, because the driver who picks you up could be certifiably crazy. 2: Don t pick up hitchhikers, because the traveler you pick up could be certifiably crazy. So what if, on some dark, isolated road, Crazy 1 offered a ride to Crazy 2?When Blake Crouch DESERT PLACES, ABANDON and Jack Kilborn AFRAID, CHERRY BOMB, face off, the result is SERIAL, a terrifying tale of hitchhiking gone terribly wrong. Like a deeply twisted version of an After School Special, SERIAL is the single most persuasive public service announcement on the hazards of free car rides. Beyond a thrilling piece of horrifying suspense, SERIAL is also a groundbreaking experiment in literary collaboration. Kilborn wrote the first part. Crouch wrote the second. And they wrote the third together over email in 100 word exchanges, not aware of each other’s opening section. All bets were off, and may the best psychopath win.F. Paul Wilson says, SERIAL reads just like a Crouch or Kilborn novel: Full speed ahead, no flinching, no blinking, no brakes. In less than a year, SERIAL has been downloaded over 200,000 times, and has received over a hundred negative reviews, with many people claiming it is the most depraved, awful thing they’ve ever read. SERIAL UNCUT is newly expanded, now more than 36,000 words. Along with the reinsertion of additional material cut from the original version, it also has a vastly expanded beginning and ending, including an extended section that originally appeared in the novella TRUCK STOP by J.A. Konrath. If you can handle horrific thrills, proceed at your own risk. But if you suffer from anxiety attacks, nervous disorders, insomnia, nightmares or night terrors, heart palpitations, stomach problems, or are of an overly sensitive nature, you should read something else instead. The authors are in no way responsible for any lost sleep, missed work, failed relationships, or difficulty in coping with life after you have read SERIAL UNCUT. They will not pay for any therapy you may require as a result of reading SERIAL UNCUT. They will not cradle you in their arms, rock you back and forth, and speak in soothing tones while you unsuccessfully try to forget SERIAL UNCUT. You have been warned…

Stirred (With: J.A. Konrath)

Lt. Jacqueline ‘Jack’ Daniels has seen humanity at its most depraved and terrifying. She’s lost loved ones. Come close to death countless times. But she always manages to triumph over evil. Luther Kite is humanity at its most depraved and terrifying. He’s committed unthinkable acts. Taken human life for the sheer pleasure of it. He is a monster among monsters, and no one has ever caught him. Each is the best at what they do. Peerless. Unmatched. Until now…
In Luther’s experience, people are weak. Even the strong and fearless break too easily. He wants a challenge, and sets his depraved sights on Jack. But with a baby on the way, Jack is at her most vulnerable. She’s always been a fighter, but she’s never had so much to fight for. So he’s built something especially for Jack. His own private ninth circle of hell a nightmare world in a forgotten place from which no one has ever escaped. It’s J.A. Konrath’s greatest hero*ine versus Blake Crouch’s greatest villain in Stirred, the stunning conclusion to both Konrath’s Lt. Jacqueline ‘Jack’ Daniels thriller series and Crouch’s Andrew Z. Thomas series. Only one can survive. And it won’t be who you think.

Killers Uncut (With: J.A. Konrath)

A gigantic double novel featuring 21 different serial killers…
For everyone who thinks the bad guys are so much more fun to read than the good guys, this is a book just for you. The definitive volume containing every major villain from the Crouch/Kilborn/Konrath Universe is here. First, there was Serial, the collaborative smash hit that has been downloaded 500,000 times and optioned for film. Then came Serial Uncut, which expanded on that story. Then Killers, the sequel to Serial. Then Birds of Prey which introduced every major villain the writers had ever created into one cohesive novel. Birds of Prey Killers = Killers Uncut. And now, all that and more has been brought together for this definitive, omnibus monster…
Serial Killers Uncut This epic work, over two years in the making, contains Serial Uncut, Killers, Birds of Prey, Crouch’s Break You, an interview with the authors, and more. Serial Uncut Break You Killers Birds of Prey = Serial Killers Uncut If you haven’t read anything by Crouch, Kilborn, or Konrath, Serial Killers Uncut is the perfect introduction to the dark side of their universe. And if you enjoy a despicable bad guy or bad girl, you’re going to love this. There are twenty one serial killers featured in this book: Lucy and Donaldson from Serial, Orson and Luther from Desert Places, Locked Doors, and Break You, Mr. K from Shaken, Alex and Charles Kork from Whiskey Sour and Rusty Nail, Isaiah from Abandon, Taylor from Afraid, Javier from Snowbound, and many, many more.

Thomas Desert Places, Locked Doors, Jack Daniels Whiskey Sour, Shaken, Violet King Locked Doors, Break You, Tequila Shot of Tequila, and Clayton Theel Draculas. Serial Killers Uncut is an original 120,000 word double novel that stands alone without having read any of Konrath’s, Kilborn’s, or Crouch’s work.
