Today is the book birthday for Behind the Shadows! Much love to those of you who ordered copies from me yesterday. Mega thank you to the one and only New York Times bestselling author, Richard Chizmar (Chasing the Boogeyman, Becoming the Boogeyman, Memorials, The Girl on the Porch and the “Gwendy” trilogy), who dropped these kind words last night: “Had a blast with BEHIND THE SHADOWS! Scary, smart and entertaining!”

Richard’s son, Billy Chizmar (pen name of W.H. Chizmar and readily following in his dad’s footsteps as a damned fine author himself), graciously says about Behind the Shadows: “Evocative and enchanting, Ray Van Horn, Jr.’s Behind the Shadows transforms contemporary America into something nostalgic and terrifying.”

If that’s not incredible enough, another of my favorite horror writers on the scene, Snarl, Jedi Summer and The Etiquette of Booby Traps author John Boden says: “You wanna know what’s Behind the Shadows? Ray Van Horn, Jr. is more than happy to show you. Fractured families and frothing creatures. Endless nights and pulsing darkness. It’s a nostalgic ride back to the horrors of your youth. Logic isn’t always logical, and the horrors don’t always end when the lights come on. But it’s a damn good time!”

You can’t ask for a better launch day than this, my friends.

Grab your paperback or digital copy of “Behind the Shadows,” from Raw Earth Ink at Amazon and Kindle.
