Here’s just some of the advance praise for Lost in the Dark and Other Excursions…

“This is an author at the height of his powers.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

“John Langan’s enviable range encompasses the whole panorama of horror, from the psychological to the cosmic, the monstrous to the deeply and movingly human, the insidiously disturbing to the thoroughly nightmarish. His imagination never falters or flinches, and his flavoursome prose is a literate pleasure to read.” —WHC Grand Master Ramsey Campbell

“There are certain writers who go straight to the top of my reading list, and John Langan is in that company. One of the finest and most surprising writers working in the tradition of the uncanny.” —Kelly Link, author of The Book of Love

“John Langan is your guide on a grand tour of the dark corners of the world. A riveting, soul-chilling collection of horror.” —Barbara Cottrell, author of Darkness Below

“In my story ‘Night’s Foul Bird,’ which first appeared in Innsmouth Magazine in November 2013 and was subsequently reprinted in my second collection, Painted Monsters & Other Strange Beasts, I wrote a description of what it feels like to watch a horror movie when it all really works.

‘Terrified, yes, by every creak and flutter, but something else, too. Alive, illuminated. I could feel the beating of my heart, feel the rush of blood in my veins. I felt as if I were glowing in the dark, as if I were giving off light.'” —Author’s Introduction
