The Devil by Name

Praise

“Rosson’s stellar sequel to 2023’s Fever House . . . is literary horror at its finest.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

“The stunning conclusion to the duology that began with Fever House. . . . a delight for both horror readers and fans of apocalyptic fiction. Recommend to those who liked The Stand by Stephen King, Zone One by Colson Whitehead, or The Rising by Brian Keene.”—Library Journal

“Fever House and The Devil by Name are exciting, suspenseful, horrifying, and written at a flurry-of-punches pace. Read them now and you can thank me later.”—Stephen King

“This is an absolute skull-cracker of a novel, presenting what may be one of the most unique takes on the end of the world I’ve ever seen. It somehow manages to hit even harder than Fever House.”—Chuck Wendig, author of Black River Orchard and The Book of Accidents

“The Devil by Name is another desperate, dizzying race through the fevered house of Keith Rosson’s imagination. He’s one of the most unnerving and commanding voices in modern horror fiction and his latest proves it all over again. Get some.”—Joe Hill, author of Full Throttle and The Fireman

“The Devil by Name is exactly the face-shredding follow-up to Fever House you were hoping for. If you loved that first book, you’re gonna love this one, too. And if you didn’t . . . well, then you obviously haven’t read it yet.”—Nat Cassidy, author of Nestlings and Mary: An Awakening of Terror

“The Devil by Name reads like The Clash jamming with the antichrist, beelzebub Blitzkrieg Bopping to the apocalypse—and here’s Keith Rosson masterminding it all, a punk rock prince of darkness remapping The Stand for our modern times.”—Clay McLeod Chapman, author of What Kind of Mother and Ghost Eaters

“There are very few writers as consistently daring, imaginative, and unexpected as Rosson. I’m along for the ride wherever he’s driving.”—Nick Cutter, author of The Troop and The Deep

“Brilliant, brutal, visceral, wildly addictive, shocking, sexy, devastating, TERRIFYING!, bonkers, and so rock and roll. Rosson remains the king of cool, and with this one, he’ll grab us by the hand, and the eye, and really scare us all to hell.”—CJ Leede, author of Maeve Fly and American Rapture

“Infinitely, singularly memorable . . . Rosson creates dark, dark tales that explode with light.”—Richard Price, author of Lush Life and Clockers

“With its rock and roll energy and grimy-yet-heartfelt humanity, The Devil by Name stands in the top tier of apocalyptic novels. Few books strike the balance of page-turning, heart-stirring, and pure gross-out horror, but this one does it with soul.”—Wendy N. Wagner, author of Girl in the Creek and The Secret Skin
