“Luke Larkin’s The Unheld will lull you with its sparse Montana vistas, beguile you with its headstrong heroine, then absolutely blow your doors off with one of the most unsettling and unusual monsters I can recall in horror fiction. This novel is a beast all its own.” —Nick Cutter, author of The Troop
“The Unheld is a ferocious and utterly original debut from a bold, unflinching literary voice destined to set the horror genre ablaze. I devoured this extraordinary book in as few sittings as possible and I soon found myself horrified, provoked, and inspired.” —Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke
“Equal parts classic western, Ray Bradbury, and H.P. Lovecraft. Reach across the abyss of loneliness and horror, taking the hand of Luke Larkin’s wonderful debut novel, The Unheld. You’ll be glad you did.” —Craig Johnson, author of the Longmire Series
“Monsters abound in The Unheld, but so do love, courage, and sacrifice. Luke Larkin has an eye for the beautiful and the grotesque, and weaves them together seamlessly in this horrifying, lovely novel.” —Shaun Hamill, author of A Cosmology of Monsters
“Reader, take heed, for this novel is akin to magic. A story that will grip you long after you have finished. I couldn’t put it down.” —Debra Magpie Earling, author of The Lost Journals of Sacajewea
