Wolf Flow

This phrase helps Mike hold on as he comes to his senses in a decrepit building of a derelict hospital. After his underground deal went wrong, they tossed him out of the car on the move, and here he is—clinging to life with the last of his strength.

They say the local waters can heal. But all around is the burned-out Oregon desert: dry, lifeless—like a sentence. It seems the same fate awaits Mike—unless the power of the spring turns out to be something more than just a legend.

“In the novel, there’s a bleak refinement—the author’s signature style. The pace never lags for a moment, and the plot grabs you and, inexorably, draws you into a tense, vividly rendered world.” – Robert Sheckley

“The author lays bare the entire grotesque nature of mankind. A special manner of storytelling captivates from the very first pages, enchants and frightens all the way to the end, and then—long after the last line—lets you go.” – Pat Cadigan

“One of the strongest novels in the genre. It’s partly reminiscent of noir science fiction, but far darker, with harder tension and dazzlingly unusual—yet mercilessly honest. The kind of modern horror fiction, in my view, that it ought to be.” – Ramsey Campbell

“The author is one of those who doesn’t recognize genre partitions; his artistic world is held together by a strict internal logic. That’s why the story turned out dense and bleak, but lit with a spark of saving grace, with razor-sharp sarcasm—the result of refusing to take clichés and familiar truths at face value.” – Interzone

“By now—the best among new horror authors.” – Joe R. Lansdale
