What people are saying about THE GUNS OF SANTA SANGRE and DON’T STAND SO CLOSE…

Friday, August 30th, 2013

“In our mythos of the Old West, there are bad guys and even badder guys, But Eric Red’s are the biggest, baddest guys of all…”

–- Jack Ketchum

“With THE GUNS OF SANTA SANGRE, Eric Red delivers a wild mash-up of action-thriller and bloody horror. This one really digs its claws into you from page one to last bite. Fast, furious, and wickedly fun. Highly recommended.”

–- Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of FIRE & ASH and EXTINCTION MACHINE

“It’s THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN meets DOG SOLDIERS! Taut, action packed and gory as hell! I couldn’t put it down!”

–- Arrow In The Head at JoBlo.com.

THE GUNS OF SANTA SANGRE is available in trade paperback and eBook at http://amzn.to/1a67PMi

“Eric Red brings his considerable talent as a screenwriter to bear on this powerful tale of sexual adventure and teenage turmoil. Erotic and suspenseful, breathlessly narrated, incisively characterized, DON’T STAND SO CLOSE had me in its grip until I finished it at a single sitting.”

–- Ramsey Campbell, author of THE GRIN OF THE DARK

“In DON’T STAND SO CLOSE, Eric Red takes what, at first, seems like a typical teen ‘coming-of-age’ sex romp and leads it down a very dark and twisted path. Being ‘Hot For Teacher’ has never been more disturbing.”

–- Nancy A. Collins, author of SUNGLASSES AFTER DARK

“Titillating and original.”

–- Joel Schumacher, director of THE LOST BOYS, FLATLINERS and FALLING DOWN

“DON’T STAND SO CLOSE is a riveting coming-of-age thriller. Heartbreaking, nail-biting, compelling and deeply insightful. Highly recommended for any teen who stands with one foot in the shadows.”

–- Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of ROT & RUIN AND DUST & DECAY

Six-guns vs. werewolves in the Old West! They’re hired guns.  The best at what they do.  They’ve left bodies in their wake across the West.  But this job is different.  It’ll take all their skill and courage.  And very special bullets.  Because their targets this time won’t be shooting back.  They’ll fight back with ripping claws, tearing fangs and animal cunning.  They’re werewolves.  A pack of bloodthirsty wolfmen has taken over a small Mexican village, and the gunmen are the villagers’ last hope.  The light of the full moon will reveal the deadliest showdown the West has ever seen—three men with six-shooters facing off against snarling, inhuman monsters.

“In our mythos of the Old West, there are bad guys and even badder guys,  But Eric Red’s are the biggest, baddest guys of all…”

– Jack Ketchum, author of OFF SEASON and THE WOMAN.

“With THE GUNS OF SANTA SANGRE, Eric Red delivers a wild mash-up of action-thriller and bloody horror. This one really digs its claws into you from page one to last bite. Fast, furious, and wickedly fun. Highly recommended.”

–Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of FIRE & ASH and EXTINCTION MACHINE.
