Two hundred years ago, the village of Clavitt Fields was burned to the ground. It was hoped that what lived there had perished in the fire. But they did not perish. They went underground...For generations, they lived and bred in darkness, adapting themselves to a subterranean existence. Now they are...
Like most of Curran's works, Nightcrawlers is big on atmosphere, detailed descriptions, Lovecraftian overtones, and gross-out horror. Unlike most of Curran's works, Nightcrawlers is extremely light on memorable characters or their any kind of decent development. Instead, the reader is tasked to deal...
I was saving all my Curran reads for some unknown day in the future when I was snowed in and unable to leave the house. However, a friend recommended I read it pronto. I did and found it lacking. The characters were ineffectual when it came down to me, the reader, caring about their outcomes. Where ...

This was an ARC from NetGalley.What begins as an homage to Lovecraft's "The Colour Out of Space" becomes something so much more as Curran cuts his own path, offering up a horrifying alternative explanation for the Mythos in this nightmarish thrill ride concerning what may be lurking below the ground...

Nobody does it like Curran. Nobody.There are putrid subterranean mutant slug/maggot creatures in the gr...
200 years ago, the village of Clavitt Fields was burned to the ground in an attempt to destroy everything there. Unfortunately (or fortunately for the reader!) some things survived and started living underground. People that lived nearby reported hearing things, seeing things and some made food offe...
I guess we all have different tastes and different attitudes to what we attribute as good horror. I hated this book, I found the story and the characters held little or no interest for me, and it just seemed to be a killing field of the good guy against the myth and the monster. I know many will dif...
When a bulldozer unearths corpses in a field, it's up to the police to figure out what's going on. Out-of-towner cop Kenney wonders what the rest of the police aren't telling him, what all the townspeople know but are afraid to do anything about: the degenerate subterraneans that lurk in the tunnels...
