Chase Novak is the pseudonym for Scott Spencer, who Publishers Weekly has called the contemporary American master of the love story. Spencer is the author of ten novels, including Endless Love, which has sold over two million copies to date, and the National Book Award finalist A Ship Made of Paper. He has written for Rolling Stone, the New York Times, The New Yorker, GQ, and Harper's. Mulholland Books published his first horror novel Breed in September 2012.
Like all good literary horror, a sense of foreboding piggybacks on a layer of strong emotion, and here it's tweaked by the characters' desperate, haunting desire for connections. --Booklist Gruesome and grimly funny --BookPage Novak ably combines realism and the supernatural. --Kirkus Reviews A satirical supernatural thriller . . . Genuine rat-inspired horror. --Publishers Weekly [Novak's] prose sings with joy when he describes the snap of a bone, delights - and disturbs - when he dredges dark humor from the aftermath. Simply put, the people-eaters bring out the best in Chase Novak. --Colin Dwyer, NPR
