Eidolon Avenue: The First Feast
“Lyrical, poetic, and devastating, Jonathan Winn’s Eidolon Avenue is everything good horror should be. At times, I couldn’t help feeling as if I was reading early Barker, and I can’t think of a higher compliment than that. Pay attention folks, Winn does as his name suggests, and this is a killer collection of nightmares.” – Kealan Patrick Burke, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Turtle Boy, Kin, and Sour Candy
“Jonathan Winn’s writing is solid and assured, and EIDOLON AVENUE: THE FIRST FEAST is a big, sweeping, fantastical and exotic work that is as engrossing and thrilling as it is disturbing and horrifying. Winn is definitely an author to watch.” – Greg F. Gifune, author The Bleeding Season

“deep, dense, intelligent, complex … the evil scenes in particular are amazing … as breathtaking as they are creepy” — Horror Fiction Reviews
“From the gorgeous prologue through the stunning end of this chapter in Martuk’s life … I loved every moment of it. Martuk is going to strike nerves.” — Zachary Walters, The Mouths of Madness Podcast
