Publisher Description

"Just as Jack Ketchum, Richard Laymon, and the Splatterpunks did a generation ago, Dan Padavona's CRAWLSPACE represents a seismic shift in the horror genre. An instant -- and important -- classic." - Bram Stoker Award–winning author Brian Keene

Somebody is watching them.

Jerry moves into Kelli's decrepit apartment complex, where a series of bloody murders occurred years ago. Soon Jerry discovers a hidden entrance into the attic, a crawlspace through which he can secretly enter his neighbor's apartment.

But he isn't the only person aware of the secret entrance. 

And now his friend has gone missing.

Is someone hiding in the crawlspace?

Grab this dark horror novel now, because everyone loves a good scare.

“1.5/5 ⭐️ Maybe I’m in the wrong here, but I was not a fan of this one”
“Dan Padavona's CRAWLSPACE is the best horror book I've read so far this year (2018). It is gripping from the get go and begs you to read it to its conclusion. Its the type of story you convince yourself you know where its going and what the outcome is going to be only to get slapped in the face with a can't-be-seen-coming ending. The characters in CRAWLSPACE are very well developed. The story is wonderfully crafted. Padavona, while still young in the writing game has the chops to be a master of the craft. CRAWLSPACE was near perfection. The connection to the titular crawlspace hammered home all the more by my own experience living in an apartment with the exact type crawlspace involved in this story. My singular gripe with the book was questions I found left hanging. Questions about a professor's warning that never seemed to be fully answered to my satisfaction. Questions about relationships between characters that also were vague. Questions about the relationship between the main characters that left me perplexed. Yet, despite those enigmas, the story still stands strong above all. CRAWLSPACE is full of surprises. It is creepy and gory. Its the type of story you may not want to read before bed lest you find yourself unable to fall asleep from the seed of fear Padavona plants in your mind. A frightfully fantastic read with enough gore for the extreme set and enough psychological terror for the more straight forward horror set. A legend is brewing in Dan Padavona.”
