Newquist has created a fine horror novel that dares to be called literary/historical fiction and entertains the reader from start to finish." - THE HORROR REVIEW"Well, folks — buckle up, because this one is a doozy. BEHEMOTH is a thriller-style creature feature . . . Newquist is a great writer, his words vividly stoking the imagination."- CEMETERY DANCE"One of the best books I've read in a very long time. Sent chills up my spine to where I thought I might need a priest . . ." - HORRORBOUND REVIEW"The stuff of biblical, almost Lovecraftian horror . . . HP Newquist knows monsters well." - HELLNOTES REVIEW
