Horror
“CARRION COMFORT is one of the three greatest horror novels
of the 20th century. Simple as that.” --Stephen King
"Epic in scale and scope but intimately disturbing,
CARRION COMFORT spans the ages to rewrite history and tug at
the very fabric of reality. A nightmarish chronicle of
predator and prey that will shatter your world view
forever. A true classic." --Guillermo del
Toro "CARRION COMFORT is one of the
scariest books ever written. Whenever I get the question
asked Who's your favorite author? my answer is always
Dan Simmons." --James Rollins "One of the few major reinventions of the vampire concept,
on a par with Jack Finney’s Invasion of the Body
Snatchers, Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend, and
Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot. --David
Morrell THE PAST...
Caught behind the lines of
Hitler’s Final Solution, Saul Laski is one of the multitudes
destined to die in the notorious Chelmno extermination
camp. Until he rises to meet his fate and finds himself
face to face with an evil far older, and far greater, than
the Nazi’s themselves… THE PRESENT...
Compelled by
the encounter to survive at all costs, so begins a journey
that for Saul will span decades and cross continents,
plunging into the darkest corners of 20th century history to
reveal a secret society of beings who may often exist behind
the world's most horrible and violent events. Killing from
a distance, and by darkly manipulative proxy, they are
people with the psychic ability to 'use' humans: read their
minds, subjugate them to their wills, experience through
their senses, feed off their emotions, force them to acts of
unspeakable aggression. Each year, three of the most
powerful of this hidden order meet to discuss their ongoing
campaign of induced bloodshed and deliberate destruction.
But this reunion, something will go terribly wrong. Saul’s
quest is about to reach its elusive object, drawing hunter
and hunted alike into a struggle that will plumb the depths
of mankind’s attraction to violence, and determine the
future of the world itself…
