About The Book
A gripping, dark suspense story from the excellent Bryan Smith.
Accompanied by an unsuspecting target, an aspiring serial killer journeys to a remote mountainous location at the same time as a woman looking to bury evidence of a heinous crime walks the same trail. A sudden unnatural storm transports them to a mist-shrouded field that rolls on for countless miles in all directions. A towering skyscraper stands at the centre that they both must enter – a plaque on the door reads simply, MONSTROUS, a hint of the surreal cosmic horrors lurking inside.
Have they been delivered to this strange place for a chance at redemption, or for some ultimate form of punishment not available to earthly forces? Will they ever know the truth?

Raves and Reviews
“The horrors Bryan Smith conjures in Monstrous are both imaginative and terrifying. This unforgettable descent into cosmic dread is a weird and unsettling masterpiece!”
– Tim Waggoner, author of Lord of the Feast
"Bryan Smith is one of my favorite writers. His books are fast-paced, entertaining, brutal, and smart. He’s one of the most consistently excellent writers of dark fiction we have."
– Jonathan Janz, Author of MARLA and CHILDREN OF THE DARK
"I look forward to spending a weekend with a new Bryan Smith book the way I used to look forward to spending a weekend with a new Richard Laymon novel. In my view, there isn't higher praise than that."
– Brian Keene, author of The Rising
"Those familiar with Smith's work probably know what he delivers: dark, hyperviolent horror with a wonderfully pulpy atmosphere and non-stop action. Kill For Satan! is all about evil, but if evil is this damn fun, I never want to be good."
– Gabino Iglesias, author of Zero Saints and Coyote Songs
"Bryan Smith is one of the most reliable and consistently entertaining writers working in the horror and suspense genres."
– Ray Garton, author of Live Girls
