Editorial Reviews

Review

"Every page of Menapace's writing explodes with chills and thrills." - Michaelbrent Collings, International bestseller and Bram Stoker Award finalist

"I find the author to be ridiculously talented. - Red Adept Reviews

"Bad Games is definitely a 'just one more chapter' kind of book.' Next thing you know, it's 4 a.m. and you're too scared to go to sleep." - Patrick Logan, bestselling author of the Chase Adams FBI Thriller Series

"An insanely entertaining and tension-filled psycho thriller. Not for the faint of heart! - Jeff Strand, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of Pressure

"Some authors try to 'scare' you; Menapace drags you kicking and screaming through the pages until the terrifying end . . . and you always come back for more." - Erik Therme, award-winning author of Resthaven

"If you're looking for a ride to explore the darkest parts of humanity, all with relentless suspense and non-stop chills, look no further than Jeff Menapace. Hop on, and hang on tight." - Michael Robertson Jr, bestselling author of the Lance Brody Series

"If you're a Richard Laymon fan, check out Bad Games...a gritty and very dark read that's rough around the edges in a refreshing way." - John Dixon, 2x Bram Stoker Award winner

"Jeff Menapace is one of the rising stars of the horror thriller genre...he can scare the daylights out of the best of them." - J. Chambers, Amazon Hall of Fame, Top 10 Reviewer

"This book kept me very lonely at night. Why lonely? My wife wouldn't hang out with me until she was done. So if you liked Bad Games, you might want to check Vengeful Games out!" - Editor, OHFB.com

He currently lives in Pennsylvania with his wife Kelly and their cats Sammy, Bear, and Baby Girl.
