Stan Armstrong dedicated his entire life to science. Branded as a maverick and a risk-taker by his colleagues, his unorthodox experiments and outlandish theories of time and space resulted in loss of funding and, ultimately, his termination from tenure at the university where he’d spent his entire career.

Stan’s insatiable quest to explore extreme hypotheses and to prove the unproven were matched only by his neurotic lust to peel back the mysterious layers of time and space to expose the hidden secrets of the universe. Determined to continue his work at all costs, he uproots the life he once knew, liquidates his assets and builds his own lab on a desolate 24-acre rural property in Devil’s Gulch, Utah, no longer bound by government regulation or the prying eyes of small-minded administrators.

Whether born from his profound love for science, or his enormous ego, Stan unintentionally unleashes something sinister in Devil’s Gulch - something that was never meant to walk this Earth.

Sinister Smile Press presents Devil’s Gulch, a horror novel written by Claire Brown, Matthew A. Clarke, T.M. Morgan, Chris Wilkerson, Chisto Healy, Kayla Krantz, Jon Miller, T.M. Brown, Mark Young, Bridgett Nelson, R.E. Sargent, and Steven Pajak.

Like the previous anthologies by Sinister Smile, this was well-written and interesting. Worth the time reading.

Blood and gore galore!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 29, 2020

If you enjoy a monster crunching, slurping, eviscerating, and skewering humans alive and dead, then this is the book for you. Entrails hanging from one or more of its mouths, this monster decimates the town of Devil's Gulch. And it's all because of the vaguely explained scientific experiment by a mad scientist, Stan Armstrong, who becomes the first monster snack of many.

This horror novel is a collaboration between twelve authors, with each author taking a chapter of the book. Being the wimpy horror fan that I am, barely able to handle much more than a friendly hint of monster shenanigans, this story went way past my comfort level. This monster is not a picky eater of humans, young, old, man, woman, it's all in a day or night's search for the next juicy morsel . So keep that in mind when I say that I was pretty good with the first chapter which showed us how the monster came to Devil's Gulch and then the last chapter, which gives the monster some of its own medicine. The last chapter is blood and gore but at least there is a hint of a tiny bit of mankind taking a stand and winning.

Once I read two chapters of the monster on a rampage, the following chapters were just more of the same. Each chapter is almost its own short story, with new characters that I knew not to grow attached to because this monster is unstoppable. My mind was numb by the time the second set of folks became a snack.The idea of all these authors working together on a story like this is intriguing but in the end, there is only so much that can be done to make a horrible monster, playing a bloody version of Pacman on humans, not be too much of the same thing, over and over.

Thank you to Sinister Smile Press for this ARC.

Great collaboration and a fun story. Harkens back to the classic tales of horror from the likes of H.P. Lovecraft and even the terrors of Frank Long. Had a fun time reading these amazing authors.

A wicked creature feature

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 21, 2020

Devil's Gulch, Utah, is a quiet, laid back area where people tend to stay. Until the eponymous devil comes to town. Summoned by a scientist who had no plans to unleash something evil, the monster is about to cause major damage, ending or changing many lives. The residents are more than ready to break away from their home town to escape their destinies.

The stories of the townspeople and their fates are broken down into a prologue, ten chapters and an epilogue by different authors. Each new chapter presents different characters and their experiences with the hungry monster.

"It wasn’t hard to suss out the creature. Even though its body melded with the shadows, its glowing orange eyes were a beacon. This wasn’t a creature that needed subterfuge to hunt. Wherever it was from, it was the top ... predator of its food chain."

Having ten stories about the same monster provides a challenge to keep material fresh. At times, I felt that the chapters could have been interchangeable. However, overall, the concept worked, especially when the same characters appeared in different chapters, providing consistency.

My personal favorite offerings were by Jon Miller, who penned two wonderful characters and lent some much needed comic relief, and by Bridgett Nelson, whose ending chapter and prologue wrapped the novel up seamlessly. For anyone looking for a wicked creature feature, this is your book.

My sincere thanks go to author Bridgett Nelson for providing me with an early copy of this novel.

Awesome!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 24, 2020

You know how sometimes you read a book outside of your norm and you totes love it?

Hello Devil's Gulch, I'm Dita, pleased to meetcha!

R.E. Sargent and Steven Pajak have brought together a talented group of writers to collaborate on a story about a lab created monster who wreaks havoc on the town of Devil's Gulch, Utah.

Chapter by chapter these authors each tell a tale of the battles individual townspeople waged, with varying degrees of success, against this Bad Mamajama.

A book like this runs the risk being cheesy but this wasn't; it was fun and scary, a pure old school horror story.

I thought TM Morgan wrote excellent dialogue, I feel Kayla Krantz wrote outstanding descriptions and wrote very relatable characters and Bridgett Nelson who wrote the last chapter, masterfully tied together the work of her cowriters. A difficult ask that she was more than up for in my opinion.

Lastly, a quick shout-out to my two favorite characters, Gladys and James...loved both of you!

Great, but the ending....

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 26, 2021

I like the premise of this book, having a different author write each chapter. I think this was probably a fun project for the authors. I did enjoy this book. It's like a creature feature, but what a body count. I was starting to wonder if any of the humans would survive. I feel like the epilogue lacked imagination, but if I stay with the creature feature comparison, lots of scary movies end this way.
There were also some loose ends with some of the survivors that could segue into short stories of their own. I enjoyed this and you will too!
