The Dead Letters
~A Romantic Times Reviewers’ Choice Nominee
“A powerful meditation on the nature of revenge, structured like a psychological thriller…A terrific novel.”— Locus
Five years ago, Eddie Whitt’s daughter Sarah became the victim of a serial killer known as Killjoy, and Whitt vowed to hunt him down—no matter what the cost. The only clues to Killjoy’s identity lie in a trail of taunting letters. And even as they lead Whitt to a deadly cult—and closer to his prey—he begins to suspect that, like his wife, he’s losing his grip on reality: Sarah’s dollhouse is filled with eerie activity, as if her murder never occurred. As dark forces rise around him, Whitt must choose—between believing that evil can repent…and stepping into a trap set by a killer who may know the only way to save Whitt’s soul.

Headstone City
~Named one of the Salt Lake City Tribune ’s "Best of the Literary Crop"
~Bram Stoker Award nominee
~International Thriller Writers Award nominee
"A beautiful and perversely funny sort of crime novel.... [Piccirilli has] the authentic surrealist's gift of blind trust in his imagination, and that enables him to throw off striking metaphors like sparks from a speeding train…. Headstone City gives you the distinctive shiver…all good writing provides: the certainty that the writer’s own ghosts are in it.”
—New York Times Book Review
The night Johnny Danetello drove a dying girl through the streets of Brooklyn in his cab, he was trying to save her life. Instead he ran down a cop and lost her and his freedom. Every day in prison, Johnny knew that Angie Monticelli’s family blamed him for her death, and that going home would be suicide. But Johnny has unfinished business with his former friend turned mob boss, Vinny Monticelli. Survivors of a long-ago freak accident, Johnny and Vinny share access to alternate realities no one else can know–and to a past and present that will all become the same in a city only one of them can leave alive. . . .

November Mourns
“Tom Piccirilli is the master of the Southern gothic, quietly building horror where the chills grow with increasing strangeness….When he is done, the uneasy horrors of Moon Run Hollow are in your bones.”— Denver Post

But the Blood Dreams he’s suffered from since childhood have taken on an eerie urgency, revealing to Shad the nightmarish form of an unseen adversary....

A Choir of Ill Children
“A wonderfully wacked, disorienting, fully creepy book…The poetic nature of the prose and seriousness of intent carried the day in every scene.” —DEAN KOONTZ
Since his mother’s disappearance and his father’s suicide, Thomas has cared for his three brothers—conjoined triplets with separate bodies but one shared brain—and the town’s only industry, the Mill. Because of his family’s prominence, Thomas is feared and respected by the superstitious swamp folk. Granny witches cast hexes while Thomas’s childhood sweetheart drifts through his life like a vengeful ghost and his best friend, a reverend suffering from the power of tongues, is overcome with this curse as he tries to warn of impending menace.
Stendhal, Horace B. Samuel
