“This is the real stuff I’m always chasing. Every chapter a warning, every page a curse. Entirely irresistible to read even as you know reading it will damn you forever. ”

“Scholz is a master at creating unforgettable villains who wrap their fingers around the throats of everyday people and refuse to let go, mutating every seemingly innocent interaction into a sinister omen.”

“Grim, heartfelt, eerie, and hopeful. An evocative dream of Halloween.”

“If Stephen King’s best coming-of-age work took place in Florida, you’d have BLACK RAIN SEASON. Excellent, fast-paced story featuring heartfelt characters and an exceptionally creepy killer. ”

“Viciously exciting and unrepentantly queer while hitting all the nostalgic notes, BLACK RAIN SEASON is a haunting gothic masterpiece and Scholz is a master of southern horror.”
