“Skillfully brings to mind the classic works of Stephen King and Robert McCammon. But the novel’s breathtaking, wholly unexpected and surprisingly moving conclusion heralds the arrival of a major new talent.”

Susie Moloney, bestselling author of The Dwelling

“With Enter, Night, Michael Rowe does the near impossible and rescues the modern vampire novel from its current state of mediocrity with his dead-on portrayal of the gothic small town, rich characters, and deeply frightening story.”
