A Best Book of the Month for Den of Geek, Omnivoracious, Mystery & Suspense, and Tor.
A Goodreads' 2020 Readers Choice Nominee for Best Horror, and one of the Best Books of 2020 for The Lineup, Booked, and Unsettling Reads.
Turner Falls is a small tourist town nestled in the hills of central Oregon. When a terrifying outbreak rapidly develops, this idyllic town becomes the epicenter of an epidemic of violence.
The Loop is a "wild and wonderfully scary novel" (Richard Chizmar, author of Gwendy's Magic Feather) that offers a "hilarious and horrifying" (Brian Keene, author of The Rising) look at what one team of misfits can accomplish as they fight to live through the night.
"[A] harrowing thrill ride of the first order and an uncompromising page-turner, easily securing its spot as one of the best novels of 2020." --Rue Morgue (featured "Dante's Pick" Review)
"Like the best of Crichton or Bentley, it is a great beach read, but it is infused with the neon blood of a brave new writer... [A] kind of literary roller coaster. It will take you to thrilling highs and terrifying lows..." --Los Angeles Review of Books
"The Loop is the gore-soaked, anxiety-inducing, diabolically funny Richard Linklater/David Cronenberg mashup you never knew you wanted but can't--or at least shouldn't--live without." --The Big Thrill
"Unputdownable...Fans of The Twilight Zone, The X-Files, and Stranger Things will be especially thrilled." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A satisfyingly dark satire of, well, everything...[a] heart-pounding and deeply unsettling tale." --Booklist
"The Loop is a remarkably propulsive novel, cinematic in the best way, with perfectly tuned tension and excellent character choices...a headlong, straightforward pleasure." --Locus
"The Loop is the Cronenberg film we never got." --Nathan Ballingrud, author of North American Lake Monsters and Wounds
I enjoy reading and writing. I enjoy movies and shows. Horror. Rock and hip-hop music.
Added to my collection — The Loop, by Jeremy Robert Johnson. Stranger Things meets World War Z in this heart-racing conspiracy thriller as a lonely young woman teams up with a group of fellow outcasts to survive the night in a town overcome by a science experiment gone wrong. https://t.co/voQbJaAOXr

Los Angeles Review of Books
"His work is most aptly described as a mixture of all these things — thrillers that become bloodbaths, horrors that blend into fantasies, and apocalypses that transcend into high art." — Matt Lewis on "The Loop" by Jeremy Robert Johnson. https://t.co/BGMrKE3ZVc
