'Koryta is one of the best of the best, plain and simple' -- Michael Connelly 'This book builds like a summer storm. Beautiful to watch until it shakes the house and knocks out the lights, leaving you alone in the dark. Another masterful work from Michael Koryta, SO COLD THE RIVER is guaranteed to put the cold finger down your spine.' -- Michael Connelly 'Michael Koryta's West Baden Springs Hotel has joined Stephen King's Overlook Hotel in the listings of 5-star places to stay in The Lonely Planet's Guidebook to Hell. Like King's 'Overlook', Kortya's West Baden Springs is a real spa-hotel with real history. But if you stay there, for God's sake, don't drink the water! ... Fright-inducing fiction worthy of our time, attention, and real enjoyment' -- Dan Simmons, author of The Terror and Drood 'Fast-paced and action-packed, SO COLD THE RIVER is good, unclean fun. Like Joe Hill, Michael Koryta is infusing the old-school supernatural horror novel with new blood. Drink up!' -- Stewart O'Nan, author of A Prayer for the Dying 'A great story, but what held me was the lean, clean prose and the sharp presentation of scenes and dialogue. Michael Koryta is a good story teller and a wonderful stylist.' -- Joe R. Lansdale 'Michael Koryta is a gifted storyteller. His writing reminded me of the great Ruth Rendell - eerie, suspenseful, and pleasantly wicked.' -- Scott Smith, author of A Simple Plan
