Rebelein, Sam

A stellar collection for fans of horror that creates connected mythos centered around the horror of a place (see the work of Josh Malerman), as well as for readers who appreciate illicitly alluring, biting short stories that smack them over the head, of the kind written by Sarah Read and Cassandra Khaw.

While some listeners may get lost in Rebelein’s ever-confusing landscape, those who like their cosmic horror with a touch of humor should enjoy.

In his debut novel, Rebelein confidently writes in a sardonic tone, mixing humor with over-the-top cosmic horror, a combination that will appeal greatly to fans of We Sold Our Souls by Grady Hendrix, but don’t sleep on the academic aspects, as also seen in Catherine House by Elisabeth Thomas.
