A BRAM STOKER AWARD FINALIST

"Grab your popcorn for this one....Mayhem, masses of menacing monsters, pulsing parasitic vines...this is one gnarly day at the beach." --Jeremy Robert Johnson, author of The Loop

"A superb, fast-paced read that will compel readers to quickly devour the book.... Excellent writing, a consuming plot, and relatable characters make this an easy recommendation for library collections where sf/horror circulates well." --Library Journal

"A wickedly fun, gut-shot punch of a story with whip-smart dialogue and breathtakingly tense action sequences. Don't miss it." --Philip Fracassi, author of Boys in the Valley

"Weird, tense, and at times unexpectedly funny....If this is any indication of the kind of horror Jones will bring to the table, I hope he gives us some more mayhem very soon." --Locus

"A relentless, nerve-jangling nightmare ride through an apocalyptic maritime hellscape. Brimming with relatable characters and shocking left turns, this is gasp-for-your-breath, peek-through-your-fingers horror, and I loved every page of it. Highly recommended!" --Jonathan Janz, author of The Siren and the Specter

"Black Tide is the ultimate walk-of-shame straight to the end of the world, equal parts cataclysmic thrill ride and acerbic character study." --Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Whisper Down the Lane

"Jones' debut novel unfolds like a movie, a terrifying nightmare come to life, an intense, realistic portrayal of an alien invasion. The action-oriented, blisteringly fast-paced plot is authentically rendered; but beware, not all make it out alive....." --Booklist

"Black Tide is a droptop-down, pedal-to-the-floor joyride through hell. It'll blast your hair back...A horror beach read like no other." --Nat Cassidy, author of Mary

"Black Tide is cinematic, fast-paced, pedal-to-the-metal storytelling: I found myself gasping!" --Ally Wilkes, author of All the White Spaces

"Jones' debut novel reads like a summer blockbuster stuffed with adrenaline-pumping action scenes and moments of heart-stopping suspense." --BookPage

"[A] snark-filled romp through a postapocalyptic world. The sarcastic, self-deprecating characters and quirky setup set this first contact tale apart." --Publishers Weekly

"The characters are so perfectly crafted, which makes their nightmare scenario even more frightening and seemingly possible. I held my breath for them every time I turned the page." --S.A. Barnes, author of Dead Silence
