Kill Creek: Part Two

Scott Thomas

From the Shirley Jackson Award-winning author Scott Thomas―praised by The New York Times, NPR, Booklist, Library Journal, and The Hollywood Reporter―comes the long-awaited sequel to Kill Creek.

It's been almost a decade since the murders at Kill Creek. What was only supposed to be a publicity stunt--four famous horror novelists in America's most notorious haunted house--turned into a massacre. The survivors never told the full story.

They hoped it would just go away. That it would be forgotten. But now, the story is awake.

Winding its way through the hands of publishing's biggest editors and Hollywood's most competitive agents is a manuscript telling the true story of Kill Creek. It is carving a path toward bookstore shelves and bedside tables everywhere. And unspeakable things are happening to anyone who reads it.

The haunting has escaped the house. And it will do anything to make sure its story is told . . .

Praise for this book

Praise for Kill Creek:

"I've only dared to read it in the daylight."―Kaly Soto, Deputy Weekend Editor, New York Times Book Review

"Intensely realized and beautifully orchestrated Gothic horror." ―Joyce Carol Oates

"A meditation on horror itself. Why we read it, why we enjoy it... Stephen King-esque storytelling." ―The A.V. Club

"Not since I readThe Shining in eighth grade has a book scared the crap out of me as much as Kill Creek. The combo of a great premise and an exquisite ability to conjure dread and terror make Scott Thomas' debut the perfect Halloween treat."―Andy Lewis, The Hollywood Reporter

"The horror debut of 2017." ―B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog

"A menacing and cinematic story that evolves into a bloody, action-driven terrorfest. It is also a thought-provoking and enjoyable look at the genre itself... A match for readers who enjoyed Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House."―Booklist (starred review)

"There'll be no admonitions to read this one with the lights on or alone at night. That's a given. Alone or with friends, lights blazing, or a single reading lamp casting shadows over the page, it won't matter. The result will be the same: shivers for many nights afterward. Kill Creek is the perfect novel to read on Halloween."New York Journal of Books

"Kill Creek is a slow-burn, skin-crawling haunted house novel with a terrifying premise and a shockingly brutal gut-punch of a conclusion. This debut establishes Scott Thomas as a force to be reckoned with on the horror scene. His remarkable ability to build tension and suspense had me on the edge of my seat until the last page." ―Shane D. Keene, HorrorTalk
