Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
"One of the best writers in modern horror to come along in the last decade. Janz is one of my new favorites." -Brian Keene
A year ago composer Ben Shadeland traveled to the Sorrows, a reportedly haunted island off the California coast, to find inspiration for a horror movie music score. Instead, he found madness, murder, and an ancient evil. His family barely survived the nightmare, and Ben swore he'd never return to the island or its accursed castle.
Now Ben's infant daughter has been kidnapped and Ben is convinced that the malevolent creature that lives in the catacombs beneath Castle Blackwood is responsible. Ben joins three federal agents, a sultry medium, and others in an attempt to save his daughter. But what awaits them is far worse than they ever imagined. The creature - an ancient god named Gabriel - has grown more powerful than ever. It has summoned unspeakable monsters to the island - both human and supernatural. And Gabriel won't rest until he has his revenge.

“If you read The Sorrows and think you'll be prepared for the sequel, let me just tell you, you are probably wrong. The Sorrows eased you in, lulled you into its terrifying embrace whereas Castle of Sorrows bludgeons you over the head and drags you off to its cave. Janz wastes no time delivering punch after punch to the reader, the characters, anyone within arms reach! I'm not usually squeamish, with the amount of horror stories I read but there were some scenes in this one that had me Kermit flailing and exclaiming, "oh, oh, no that's gross!" Janz has yet to disappoint me with any of his books I've read and that record remains intact.”
