Covenant - Softcover

John Everson is the Bram Stoker Award-winning author of the novels Covenant, Sacrifice and The 13th. He shares a deep purple den in Naperville, Illinois with a cockatoo and cockatiel, a disparate collection of skulls, twisted skeletal fairies, and a large stuffed Eeyore. There's also a mounted Chinese fowling spider named Stoker, an ever-growing shelf of custom mix CDs and an acoustic guitar that he can't really play but that his son likes to hear him beat on anyway. Sometimes his wife is surprised to find him shuffling through more public areas of the house, but it's usually only to brew another cup of coffee or restock a pint of Newcastle.

Covenant -- now available as a mass-market paperback -- won Everson a Bram Stoker Award back in 2004 (in its hardcover edition), and after reading it, you'll agree that this tight, gripping story was definitely worthy of the distinction. --Rue Morgue Magazine

I've waited four long years to read Covenant and it was well worth it. Everson has taken a classic genre plot and given it his own spin. This is how horror is done RIGHT. --The Horror Fiction Review

Truly entertaining no-frills horror, which is a damned good thing. --Horror World

Equal parts dark mystery and supernatural horror, Covenant is a white-knuckle reading experience that will keep you guessing and gasping. --Creature Feature

John Everson has written a powerful tale as readers wonder whether it is a concidence, the supernatural, or a serial killer behind the suicides. --Midwest Book Review
