<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A surveyor finds himself pursued by flesh-eating donkeys in the furthest reaches of Oregon's desert.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In his first novel, This Is Horror and Wonderland Award-nominated author Nicholas Day invites you to take a journey into a Hell that is at once uncomfortably familiar, yet unlike anything you've ever encountered before: a surveyor finds himself pursued by flesh-eating donkeys in the furthest reaches of Oregon's desert; a mass-murderer leaves the sanctity of his mountain home to pursue a long-lost love, his guide an otherworldly raven possessed by a 19th century American humorist; in nearby Klamath Falls, two estranged childhood friends set off to find a missing father with the help of two aging cowboys; and, a prisoner in her own home sees a vision of death and knows there is no escape.</p><p>Pain is proselytizing.</p><p>Death is the one, true faith. And everyone worships in their due time.</p><p>The Gates of Nihil are wide open and waiting to...</p><p>GRIND YOUR BONES TO DUST.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"The brilliance of it all is breathtaking; literally, the most masterful climax and conclusion--I have never read its equal. He writes like a man possessed. As if the very story you're reading has somehow taken over Day's being and poured itself out onto the page. I don't know if Nicholas Day sold his soul at a crossroads to bring us <em>Grind Your Bones to Dust </em>but this book feels like a pact made with the Devil to bring us the finest horror has to offer."</p><p>-<em>Cemetery Dance</em>, Sadie Hartmann</p><p> </p><p>"Nicholas Day hooks you with a perfect trifecta of action, atmosphere, and character, setting you up like a pin in a bowling alley, only to mow you down with a perfect strike. <em>Grind Your Bones to Dust</em> is a symphony of violence rendered with a poet's eloquent finesse and a madman's ecstasy, a full frontal assault to the senses and a testament to the abilities of a master craftsman."</p><p>-<em>InkHeist</em>, Shane Douglas Keene</p><p> </p><p>"With <em>Grind Your Bones to Dust</em>, Day takes us on a tense journey down a dark, desolate road. And the lights are out. Veer too much to one side and we are rewarded with unapologetic violence, both natural and supernatural. Pull to the other side and we experience the full range of human emotion through the eyes of wonderfully vivid characters, including one man gripped by madness and another who is haunted by it. And it isn't our hands on the steering wheel. All we can do is sit back, put our faith in our guide, and enjoy the ride. The perfect blend of character, voice and setting, <em>Grind Your Bones to Dust</em> is cause for celebration; as is an author whose tremendous ability as a storyteller is only growing with every publication."</p><p>-<em>This Is Horror</em>, Thomas Joyce</p><p> </p><p>"<em>Grind Your Bones to Dust</em> is very well-written and it is very, <em>very</em> dark. This book made me hurt for Nicholas Day, because it's so painfully raw in the truth it tells about the world and the chastisement it lays out for those who really believe God is listening. Day's writing etches his stories onto your mind in angry, bleeding strokes. <em>Grind Your Bones to Dust</em> might disgust you, will probably disturb you, and will burrow into the recesses of your mind. I loved it, but damned if I didn't need a drink afterwards."</p><p><em>-Sci-Fi & Scary</em>, Lilyn George</p><p> </p><p>"<em>Grind Your Bones to Dust</em> is a visceral, unapologetic, and unforgettable beast of a book. Nicholas Day utilizes haunting, poetic prose between each vicious scene with impressive skill. The cast of characters are strange, wild, and emote a realm of pain that hooks you into their lives and refuses to let you go. Day spins us a world where the monstrous donkeys eat flesh and the characters embark on Godless quests, but the horrific sermon of human brutality is what will stay with you long after the book is closed. Say a prayer if you like, but no salvation or redemption will bother to save you from what Day has in store..."</p><p>-Sara Tantlinger, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of <em>The Devil's Dreamland</em></p><p> </p><p>"Holy demon donkeys! <em>Grind Your Bones to Dust</em> reads like Tarantino's <em>Hateful Eight</em> if it had been written by William S. Burroughs on some modern-day synthetic...yet as much as it punches right into your guts, it manages to grab you by the heart with that same fist and twist."</p><p>-Michael Arnzen, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of <em>Grave Markings</em> and <em>Licker</em></p><br>
