My Novel THE WICKED, Now Available In Paperback

[J.N.]

Edited to add: I was half-asleep when I wrote that. Don't know HOW the hell I made such a stupid typo . . . "paperwork?". Is there any way to edit the title thread?


Anyway . . I just wanted to share some cool news with my friends here at KR . . . .

The paperback edition of my novel THE WICKED has just been released. If you grew up with those old 80's "evil in a small town" horror novels like I did, I think you'll get a kick out of THE WICKED. This new edition pays tribute to the tales that inspired it, not only in the story itself but the book even looks as if it came from that era as well . . . fun, fun stuff!





“THE WICKED is a good old-fashioned, unabashed Horror novel. James Newman remembers when horror used to be fun, and he’s recaptured it here in all of its gory glory. A terrifying page-turner in the tradition of Graham Masterton, J.N. Williamson, and Richard Laymon. WICKEDly good reading from one of horror’s new heirs!”

—Brian Keene (THE RISING, GHOUL)


“Demons, depravity and despair, oh my! Reminiscent of the best of 80’s horror and Bentley Little at his most grotesque and unrelenting, THE WICKED is the kind of horror we don’t see enough of anymore. This is one wild and bloody ride, and in the capable hands of James Newman, it’s one worth taking.”

—Kealan Patrick Burke (THE TURTLE BOY, KIN)

They meant to say "white trash piece of shit."

Much appreciated, pal. My twelve kids thank you -- they will get to eat. Well, a couple of them will -- royalties ain't much.

All joking aside: I look forward to hearing what you think about my nod to those old 80s horror novels.
