Praise for GRIND YOUR BONES TO DUST

“The brilliance of it all is breathtaking; literally, the most masterful climax and conclusion—I have never read its equal.

 

He writes like a man possessed. As if the very story you’re reading has somehow taken over Day’s being and poured itself out onto the page. I don’t know if Nicholas Day sold his soul at a crossroads to bring us Grind Your Bones to Dust but this book feels like a pact made with the Devil to bring us the finest horror has to offer.”

-Cemetery Dance, Sadie Hartmann

 

“Nicholas Day hooks you with a perfect trifecta of action, atmosphere, and character, setting you up like a pin in a bowling alley, only to mow you down with a perfect strike.

 

Grind Your Bones to Dust is a symphony of violence rendered with a poet’s eloquent finesse and a madman’s ecstasy, a full frontal assault to the senses and a testament to the abilities of a master craftsman.”

-InkHeist, Shane Douglas Keene

 

"With Grind Your Bones to Dust, Day takes us on a tense journey down a dark, desolate road. And the lights are out. Veer too much to one side and we are rewarded with unapologetic violence, both natural and supernatural. Pull to the other side and we experience the full range of human emotion through the eyes of wonderfully vivid characters, including one man gripped by madness and another who is haunted by it. And it isn't our hands on the steering wheel. All we can do is sit back, put our faith in our guide, and enjoy the ride. The perfect blend of character, voice and setting, Grind Your Bones to Dust is cause for celebration; as is an author whose tremendous ability as a storyteller is only growing with every publication."

-This Is Horror, Thomas Joyce

 

“Grind Your Bones to Dust is very well-written and it is very, very dark. This book made me hurt for Nicholas Day, because it's so painfully raw in the truth it tells about the world and the chastisement it lays out for those who really believe God is listening. Day's writing etches his stories onto your mind in angry, bleeding strokes. Grind Your Bones to Dust might disgust you, will probably disturb you, and will burrow into the recesses of your mind. I loved it, but damned if I didn't need a drink afterwards.”

-Sci-Fi & Scary, Lilyn George

 

“Grind Your Bones to Dust is a visceral, unapologetic, and unforgettable beast of a book. Nicholas Day utilizes haunting, poetic prose between each vicious scene with impressive skill. The cast of characters are strange, wild, and emote a realm of pain that hooks you into their lives and refuses to let you go. Day spins us a world where the monstrous donkeys eat flesh and the characters embark on Godless quests, but the horrific sermon of human brutality is what will stay with you long after the book is closed. Say a prayer if you like, but no salvation or redemption will bother to save you from what Day has in store…”

-Sara Tantlinger, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Devil’s Dreamland

 

“Holy demon donkeys! Grind Your Bones to Dust reads like Tarantino's Hateful Eight if it had been written by William S. Burroughs on some modern-day synthetic...yet as much as it punches right into your guts, it manages to grab you by the heart with that same fist and twist. What makes Day distinctive among the bizarro tribe is that he manages to load up his amazingly bent imagination with emotional payoff, chapter after chapter. Quick-paced and nasty, this book bends genres as easy as rubber prison bars, proving beyond a doubt that Nicholas Day is a strong-arm writer to be reckoned with, and establishes him firmly among the ruling authors of contemporary Bizarro Horror.”

-Michael Arnzen, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Grave Markings and Licker

AT THE END OF THE DAY I BURST INTO FLAMES

 

“Existential poetry in the form of a horror story—I mean, a love story. At the End of the Day I Burst into Flames is like a having a smoke—killing you, intoxicating you, connecting you to just how quickly it all burns away. Beautiful, sad, on fire.”

-Laura Lee Bahr, Wonderland Award-winning author of Haunt and Angel Meat

 

“He doesn’t shy away from the difficult moments and bares everything like a confession of sin or declaration of devotion; every page, passage, sentence, is musical.”

It’s dark, horrific and beautiful, with a blend of otherworldly terror and heartbreakingly human trauma that creates a must read collection.”

NECROSAURUS REX

 

“Nicholas Day is a fantastic writer, he’s a thrilling, poetic, gruesome and balls to the wall in-your-face craftsman of twisted horror and bizarro.”

- SCREAM Magazine, Jonathan Reitan

 

“There is not a misplaced word in all of the book, everything is working together to tell this story. As long as a reader goes in with an open mind and a tolerance for the absolutely disgusting and the absolutely beautiful, Necrosaurus Rex delivers. With more content and character than a thousand pages of your average book, author Nicholas Day has achieved something amazing, something you have to experience to understand. “
