Book Reviews
“[A] consistently engaging read, and one that should have you turning the pages long into the night….a great book about childhood. Malfi’s at the top of his game, and December Park is a must-have for horror readers. Highly recommended.”
–Josh Black, Horror Novel Reviews
“December Park is one of those books you can’t put down.”
–HorrorNews.Net
“Malfi is a man of many voices, a sort of literary version of Mel Blanc (the “man of a thousand voices”), but all of his voices are captivating, though none of them quite the same. Horror and crime fans will find much to like here.”
—Booklist
“[A] thoughtful, multilayered tale…”
–Rue Morgue
“[A] clever, emotionally resonant foray into horror.”
–Booklist
“Malfi’s lyrical prose and sensitive approach only heighten his tale’s emotional impact, and the final turn of events is both surprising and expertly set up.”
–Publishers Weekly
“This is a super haunted house ghost story and an interesting protagonist and a great final turn-of-the-screw twist.”
–Midwest Book Review
“[A]n outstanding achievement in the supernatural horror genre.”
–The Crows Caw
“[A] must-read novel that just might garner some Stoker attention.”
–Horrorworld
“A thrilling edge-of-your-seat ride that should not be missed….If you love thrillers that keep you guessing, this is a must read.”
—Suspense Magazine
“Malfi delivers a nearly straightforward adventure story of man against the elements with man being the most dangerous element of all.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Malfi, like the great documentarians, really makes us feel as though we are there. Another fine effort from this increasingly interesting writer.”
—Booklist
“An exhilarating thriller.”
–Harriet Klausner
“Richly detailed and filled with mysteries.”
—Urban Bachelorette
“Some ‘old school’ horror storytelling of the highest degree.”
–Bloody-Disgusting.com
“Highly recommended.”
–Erik Smith, Monster Librarian
“Snow is a throw back to some of the best horror writing of the late 70’s and early 80’s…Malfi has written a novel that is absolutely brilliant…a must read for every lover of horror fiction and is very highly recommended, you really don’t want to pass this one by.”
–Horror World Reviews
“An impressively atmospheric novel with a wicked streak.”
–Dread Central
“An absolutely top notch horror novel.”
—Famous Monsters of Filmland
“This is a bottom-of-the-ninth, two-out, grand slam home run of a book.”
–Lorenzo Carcaterra, Author of Sleepers and Chasers
“The author’s previous books have garnered him acclaim and a small but devoted audience; this one could easily life him into the mainstream.”
–Booklist
“Malfi’s florid descriptiveness and taut writing style grip the reader right from the get-go.”
—Rue Morgue
“A gripping tale that the reader will not be able to put down.”
–Literary Strange Digest
“A superb work of literature as well as a frightening examination of psychological suspense and terror.”
—Fear Zone
“Mysterious, thought-provoking and gritty.”
—Midwest Book Review
“A spellbinding novel of the walls we all build around us.”
—Hilton Head Monthly
“Solid characters and a story to match.”
–Bookgasm
“With a voice that is clever and appealing…Malfi has proven once again that he is a genuine storyteller.”
—Midwest Book Review
“Filled with lush, dark imagery, relentless tension, and sympathetic characters, The Fall of Never heads in directions you’ll never predict and deserves a place on your bookshelf next to Peter Straub’s Shadowland.”
—The Harrow
“The Fall of Never is a suspenseful and compellingly original tale that delivers a captivating supernatural mystery with an eerie, dreamlike quality. Ronald Malfi masterfully blends psychological terror and traditional gothic horror into a sinister fairy tale that would make Stephen King and the Brothers Grimm shudder with dark delight. Highly recommended.”
