The Bridge

When the great storm comes, the good life ends. And hell on Earth begins. For 100 years we’ve been tossing our toxic waste over our shoulders. No more. This morning, while we slept, something woke up. It’s virulent. Malign. Intelligent. Ambitious. It’s in our food, our water, our air. It’s inside our bodies themselves. And it’s not leaving. We are.

Clive Barker

“This is the New Horror at work; fast-paced and passionate, breaking new ground as it uncovers the faces that fear wears in the century’s final decade.”

Richard Christian Matheson

“A novel of brilliance, overflowing with talent and originality.”

Joe Lynch, Director of Wrong Turn 2

“Important and terrifying. The Bridge is a potent gateway drug into the world of literary splatter that changed my life. More relevant today than when it was first published.”

Brian Keene, Author of Darkness on the Edge of Town

“The seminal splatterpunk novel that redefined the genre. The Bridge has lost none of its intensity or power.”
