“IT WAITS BELOW is first class science fiction.” – Jeffrey Konvitz, New York Times bestselling author of THE SENTINEL.

Thursday, March 5th, 2015

“The ancient sunken treasure, the galleon sunk by a meteor hit. The salvage submersible, Russian pirates waiting to seize the haul. Great characters. Intricate plotting. The alien-life form waiting. Claustrophobic tension 30,000 feet below the Ocean’s surface. First class science fiction.” – Jeffrey Konvitz, New York Times bestselling author of THE SENTINEL.

“WHITE KNUCKLE is a rip-roaring, knuckle-biting, constantly suspenseful adventure and riveting mystery thriller. A Don’t Miss.” – Mallory Heart Reviews.

Friday, February 27th, 2015

“Rip-roaring, knuckle-biting, constantly suspenseful adventure in this riveting mystery thriller by the author of IT WAITS BELOW, WHITE KNUCKLE pits a probationary FBI Special Agent with a sad background and finely tuned intuition against a human monster–a long hauler trucker who began killing and torturing animals at age six and who has slaughtered women and girls in interstate rampages for four decades. Rife with high-octane tension, WHITE KNUCKLE also delivers extended characterization and well toned backstory. It’s a Don t miss, but don’t read while traveling the highways, or sleeping alone.”

- Mallory Heart Reviews (Five star review).

WHITE KNUCKLE will be out June 2nd in trade paperback and digital editions from Samhain Publishing, and is now available for pre order on Amazon: http://amzn.to/1EvCjSN

“There’s a killer on the road…
He’s a big rig truck driver who goes by the CB handle White Knuckle, and he’s Jack the Ripper on eighteen wheels. For thirty years he has murdered hundreds of women in unimaginable ways, imprisoning them in a secret compartment in his truck, abducting them in one state and dumping their dead bodies across the country.
Dedicated FBI agent Sharon Ormsby is on a mission to hunt down and stop White Knuckle. She goes undercover as a truck driver with a helpful long hauler named Rudy in a cross-country pursuit that will ultimately bring her face-to-face with White Knuckle in a pedal-to-the-metal, high-octane climax on a highway to Hell.”

“From its incendiary opening to a colossal climax, IT WAITS BELOW never lets the tension drop for a single page.” – Frazer Lee, author of THE LAMPLIGHTERS and THE SKINTAKER.

“From its incendiary opening to a colossal climax, IT WAITS BELOW never lets the tension drop for a single page. This scary thrill-ride combines all the mystery and claustrophobia of the ocean’s depths with action-packed set pieces worthy of an IMAX blockbuster. If the frantic cinema of Eric Red’s writing doesn’t grab you, you’re already dead!”

– Frazer Lee, author of THE LAMPLIGHTERS and THE SKINTAKER.

Monday, December 29th, 2014

“Verdict: Aquatic shockers seem few and far between, but in 2014 Eric Red gifted us a beauty with It Waits Below. This one has a little bit of everything, but the claustrophobic nature of the tail, and the balls-to-the-wall conclusion help push it into near uncharted territory. Red is a beast!” –Matt Molgaard.
