""A literary treat that delivers what it promises to horror fans."" -Fangoria, Issue 18 Vol. 2 ""The paralyzing terror caused by the ancient evil possessing the desk engulfs both the characters and the novel's readers from the start, but is further amplified by Fracassi's masterful storytelling. Told through multiple points of view, the novel's structure itself escalates the dread and violence, keeping readers glued to the page."" --Library Journal, starred review ""Fracassi perfectly captures the feeling of slow, creeping dread, causing a sick fascination with seeing how everything plays out. Gothic's twisted events and false-summit conclusion will keep readers glued to their seats in anticipation of what lies ahead."" --Booklist ""A dark and delirious journey into the unraveling of a mind, Gothic is the accursed 21st century bastard child of the 70s horror boom and John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness. Deadly, compelling, and pulls no punches."" --Brian Evenson, author of Last Days ""As pulpy as it is subversive, as epic as it is intimate, Philip Fracassi's Gothic is a Pandora's box (or desk) jam-packed with ghoulish delights. Somehow, Fracassi has given us a fully contemporary, unpredictable novel that also feels like the Paperback from Hell I was always looking for in the used stacks."" --Nat Cassidy, author of Nestlings ""Gothic is the literary equivalent of the abyss gazing right back at you from the hellish depths of its pages. Don't lean in too close, lest you fall into this nightmarish novel and never find your way out again."" --Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Ghost Eaters ""Stylish, atmospheric, and chilling, Gothic is an affectionate ode to the horror greats, and an effective reminder that Philip Fracassi is destined to become one of them. One of my favorite reads of the year so far."" --Kealan Patrick Burke, author of Sour Candy ""Not since The Shining has the descent of a writer into madness been so masterfully rendered on the page."" --Ross Jeffery, author of I Died Too, But They Haven't Buried Me Yet ""A high creep factor chiller with a sinister edge that had me reading well past my bedtime. Frightening and fun, and deliciously original!"" --James A. Moore, author of Seven Forges
