The Devil's Alphabet
A story about transformation, murder, and what it means to be human, all set in a
tiny Tennessee mountain town.
Publisher's Weekly named it one of the Best Books of
2009 (one of only 5 in SF and fantasy) and gave it a starred review and said it was "quietly
brilliant." Kirkus said it "evokes the best of Stephen King." Who am I to argue?

Pandemonium
My first novel, Pandemonium, was published by Del Rey Books in
August, 2008.
The book was also a finalist for the World Fantasy Award,
The Shirley Jackson Award, for best dark fantasy or horror novel, the
Locus Award for best first novel, and the
Mythopoeic Award, for
best adult fantasy novel.
Thanks to Pandemonium, back in March, 2009 I won the 2009 Crawford award, given each year by critics
and scholars of the fantasy field to "an outstanding new fantasy writer whose
first book was published the previous year."
