"An ambitious first novel full of the mysteries, histories and rituals of a Tennessee town. Full of nightmarish imagery wrapped in elegant prose, this is a strong debut." —John Langan, author of The Fisherman and Children of the Fang and Other Genealogies“Reading Broyles’s astonishing debut is like discovering a lost horror classic. Not a speck of dust will settle as you turn the pages faster and faster.” —Scott Thomas, author of Kill Creek and Violet"Buoyed by confident prose and cinematic imagery, this Southern gothic slow burn rewards close attention and will be a sure hit for fans of folklore and the occult." —Library Journal“Full of great twists and turns that always kept me on my toes.” —Cari-Leigh Williams, Barnes & Noble“The novel's brooding darkness is made even more ominous by vivid and detailed settings that drip with atmosphere. Perfect for horror fans looking for a beautifully written book.” —Marjorie DeLuca, author of The Savage Instinct“Southern gothic through and through—vivid atmosphere, creepy, and engaging.” —Danielle Hansard, Westland Public Library“Every once in a while you come across a book that you think might be made for you, and this is how I felt with almost every page of The House of Dust. The novel has all the makings of a gothic classic, but more than this, it provides an engaging story beyond the tropes and allegory, one that is wide open to interpretation.” —Vicky Brewster, Books Outside the Box“From a slow burn to an almost frantic page-turner—definitely my favorite read of the year so far.” —Levyn Lagerqvist, Science Fiction-Bokhandeln
