Readers will be captivated from start to finish."--<b><i>Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) on American Elsewhere</b></i><br><br>"Bennett's novel may remind readers of the early works of Stephen King, presenting a small town where nothing is what it seems.... Bennett's work also evokes a mood similar to that of Mark Z. Danielewski's <i>House of Leaves</i>, where every darkness may swallow a person only to spit them out into a place akin to Wonderland."--<b><i>RT Book Reviews</b></i><br><br>"Highly impressive."--<b><i>Kirkus Reviews</b></i><br><br>"Mad and humorous, gory and poignant, <i>American Elsewhere</i> is a sort of mid-20th-century retelling of the embodiment of Lovecraftian Elder Gods by way of Alamogordo's legendary atomic tests. It's not to be missed.--<b><i>Seattle Times</b></i><br><br>"The novel starts out curious and odd but quickly becomes terrifying and haunting, as the author reveals more about the people of Wink, who just may be the most curious and intimidating collection of folks you're likely to meet outside the pages of Stephen King.... A beautifully written, claustrophobic, and deeply memorable horror novel."--<b><i>Booklist</b></i><br><br>"This wonderful offering is perfect for fans of Stephen King and Neil Gaiman."--<b><i>Library Journal</b></i><br><br>"So <i>American Elsewhere</i> is basically so good that I want to camp outside @robertjbennett's house until he tells me his secret."--<b><i>Adam Christopher</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Robert Jackson Bennett</b> was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
