   Mary SanGiovanni's Blurbs
About me:
My favorite color is purple. I have irrational fear of masks, gurneys, and certain fabrics. I like sushi. I like to sing, dance, make art, watch movies, play videogames, and spend time with family and good friends.

Oh, and I write horror fiction.

“Mary SanGiovanni is one of my favorite authors. Her work is cause for celebration, and always a fun read! I’m a big fan!” —Bram Stoker Award-winner Brian Keene, Author of Dead Sea

“With The Hollower, Mary SanGiovanni makes the kind of debut most horror writers dream about; this superbly-written novel is filled to the brim with mounting terror, shocking set pieces, some of the richest characterization you’ll encounter anywhere this year, and a central figure of undeniable dread. It’s got it all: scares, poignancy, people you know as well as your own family, and an unrelenting tension that will have your hands shaking by the time you reach its nerve-wracking finale.” —Bram Stoker Award-winner Gary A. Braunbeck, Author of Mr. Hands

“Mary SanGiovanni writes with all the skill of a neurosurgeon and all the passion of a Shakespearian actor on a roll. The Hollower is a fast building, high tension ride, with a solid mystery peopled with realistic characters thrown into a nightmare situation that grows darker by the minute. One hell of a novel by a writer everyone should keep their eyes on. I think we have a rising star on our hands.” -James A. Moore, Author of Under the Overtree and Serenity Falls

“For a debut novel, The Hollower is definitely impressive; Sangiovanni shows off some serious skills for an author right out of the box.” —DreadCentral.com

“SanGiovanni hits a multi-sensory home run with her evocative language...the imagery is…nightmarish and vivid....This is the type of book that’s worthy of repeat readings.” —FearZone

“…Once SanGiovanni drops you into her reality, she never relinquishes her iron grip on your attention…” —Dead Reckoning, Fall 2007

“Although the cover of Mary SanGiovanni’s debut novel The Hollower may look like another entry into the invisibility genre, it’s actually one in the psychological horror, with nothing disappearing except the sanity of its various characters.” —Bookgasm

Thanks for the add, Mary! I'd like to invite you to take my horror novel, BITTERNEST, for a spin in the media section at www.alandraven.com where the first chapter is available to read at your convenience.

It's the story of a detective who forms an uneasy alliance with a group of vampires to prevent a powerful entity from enslaving the fog-shrouded city of Bitternest.

Cheers,
Alan

Hey there Mary. I was going to send you a message to wish you a bon voyage for you trip and your message is set to away : - ( I was going to offer you some tips for the ship - we just got back from the exact itinerary/ship you will be setting sail on! If you happen to see this before you leave - Portofino's is definatley worth the extra $20 pp and the ice show was really nice. St. Thomas & Labadee were really nice. PR was pretty but smelly (open sewer lines from construction all over).
Hope you have a great trip!

Mary…just dropped by for a quick hello. Hope everything’s nice and spooky at your end of the cemetery.

When are we going to get a follow-up to the HOLLOWER?

-Jonathan
