"""Andy Marino understands horror in a way that very few writers do, and in The Swarm, his most visceral and ambitious book, you're along for the ride. I read this and now I never want to go outside again.""--Keith Rosson, author of Fever House ""Relentless, brutal, and brilliant! Andy Marino's The Swarm reads like an apocalyptic tour de force, a Michael Crichtonesque fever dream that goes all the way with its terrifying premise. A five-star read."" --Craig DiLouie, author of How to Make a Horror Movie and Survive ""It Rides a Pale Horse is a bizarre thrill ride from beginning to end. Captivatingly surreal."" --San Francisco Book Review on It Rides a Pale Horse ""A visceral, disturbing story about the power of art and ritual."" --Paste Magazine on It Rides a Pale Horse ""Andy Marino's The Seven Visitations of Sydney Burgess is a gripping portrait of addiction and an innovative take on demonic possession, delivering a shocking ending and powerful themes of how love heals but can also be corrupted."" --Craig DiLouie on The Seven Visitations of Sydney Burgess ""Marino offers horrors both existential and visceral. From a stunning opening, the sense of dread just builds and builds."" --M.R. Carey on The Seven Visitations of Sydney Burgess ""Odd and dark and fascinating . . . Not quite like anything I've ever read before. A strange, compelling, late-night page-turner. It kept me reading way past my bedtime."" --T. Kingfisher on The Seven Visitations of Sydney Burgess ""Marino draws readers in quickly, creating sympathy for the characters, unveiling the necessary details to immerse them in a world of art, siblings, deadly intrigue, and a centuries-long nefarious quest. Dread is present from the start, but it quickly escalates into a disorienting cosmic terror that touches everyone. Booktalk it to readers as The Twisted Ones, by T. Kingfisher meets Slade House, by David Mitchell with a touch of Lovecraft Country, by Matt Ruff.""--Booklist on It Rides a Pale Horse ""Marino has a good eye for genuinely disturbing imagery. This novel hums with a terrifying momentum.""--Kirkus on It Rides a Pale Horse"
