EARLY PRAISE FOR BADLANDS
“A beautifully bleak journey, told by a writer who’s not afraid to open old wounds. BADLANDS will stay with you in the dark.”—Kristopher Rufty, author of PILLOWFACE and VICTIMS
“BADLANDS unfolds in slow, haunting layers as an intimate portrait of guilt and shattered dreams. As an unexpected journey into desolation pulls its characters farther from the lives they once knew, the bonds of friendship and the limits of personal resilience are pushed to the edge.”—Amanda Headlee, author of THIS IS HOW A VILLAIN IS MADE
“BADLANDS is not your typical horror read, all flashy or full of jump scares- it’s a slow, character -driven horror story that builds its tension from real emotion and guilt. It weaves a tale of old friendships and love, all to be rekindled for a trip in the desert that you will not see coming.”—Dan Shrader, author of CABIN BLACK
“How can something be so unflinching, yet surprisingly tender? Jason Nickey doesn’t pull any punches. BADLANDS is pure menace in the desert. Incredibly sharp, sunburnt, and soaked in blood.”—Cassandra Celia, author of HOUSE OF HARROW
“Jason Nickey delivers a vision quest into hell with the BADLANDS. The story grips you from the beginning daring you to venture further into the dark.”—Matthew Lutton, author of THE MORNINGSTAR CONFESSION
“BADLANDS is an absolute bombshell on top of an already untouchable backlog of great writing by Jason Nickey. His greatness never ceases to amaze me!”—Stuart Bray, author of BLADE IN THE BATH
“A cautionary tale that will leave your stomach in knots.”—Patrick Tumblety, author of ONE FRIGHT ONLY
