The Raven
By Jonathan JanzPublisher Description
“If you’re searching the horror horizon for a dark star, your next must-read, the silhouette you see coming your way is Jonathan Janz." - Josh Malerman, New York Times best selling author of Bird Box and Malorie
Fearing that mankind is heading toward nuclear extinction, a group of geneticists unleash a plot to save the world. They’ve discovered that mythological creatures such as werewolves, vampires, witches, and satyrs were once real, and that these monstrous genetic strands are still present in human DNA. These radical scientists unleash the bestial side of human beings that had been dormant for eons, and within months, most people are dead, and bloodthirsty creatures rule the earth. Despite the fact that Dez McClane has no special powers, he is determined to atone for the lives he couldn’t save and to save the woman he loves. But how long can a man survive in a world full of monsters?

“Oh my goodness, The Raven is such a colossal cocktail of monstrosities!
When the story opens, the world is unrecognizable. Janz drops us right into the middle of what’s ostensibly the mortal apocalypse. Very little remains of humankind. Most Latents, those who didn’t devolve due to the virus, are dead; the rest are either in hiding or actively fighting every night to stay alive. In a way, the choice to begin here feels like starting a TV show with its third season, which is actually okay by me—since there are enough clues sprinkled throughout to grasp the context of it all. Plus, it gets us right to the action.
Janz is particularly adept at crafting fight scenes on the page—something that very few authors do well, in my opinion. His sequences reminded me of reading R.A. Salvatore’s Forgotten Realms chronicles many moons ago in middle school. Because Janz’s combat choreography so riveting. Not high-octane, ball-to-the-wall stuff, but gripping nonetheless—and fitting for the narrative.

“Janz literally never disappoints. I didn't even have to know what the story was about I just saw it was a Janz and I bought it. I was happy to discover that it was a post-apocalyptic tale, allowing for a myriad of monsters, and with plenty of heart to go along with it.”
