Publisher's Synopsis
Real estate agent Anthony Graham has his family on the run after witnessing a murder at the
hands of the powerful Costello crime family. They're forced to hide at one of Anthony's properties: a deserted campground with a sinister past. No one is safe from the men that hunt them or the terrors that await them inside The Devil's Nest.
"A taut, nerve-jangling novel that puts Durgin's skills as an author on full display. Highly recommended."
-Ronald Malfi, bestselling author of Come with Me
"John Durgin is the sort of storyteller that puts the hook in from the first word and refuses to let go until
the last. His second novel, INSIDE THE DEVIL'S NEST, has sharp teeth that sink in deep and bite down
hard. It cracks open the stubborn shell of the most jaded horror reader, exposing your greatest fears and
playing relentlessly with the tender nerves within. An incredible genre masterwork by an equally
incredible author!"
-Ronald Kelly, Author of Fear, The Essential Sick Stuff, and Southern-Fried & Horrified
"Every now and then a book comes along that doesn't pull its punches. John Durgin's, INSIDE THE
DEVIL'S NEST, is one of those rare treats. It's a rip-roaring ride full of fury and fear and doesn't stop to
let you catch your breath. Part gritty mob drama, part supernatural horror, it's as much Ozark as it is The
Shining, yet something wholly its own. Durgin has outdone himself with this one."
-Nick Roberts, award-winning author of The Exorcist's House and Anathema.
"A journey through the worst nightmare of any father, INSIDE THE DEVIL'S NEST seduces with its
mysteries and atmosphere, then eviscerates with its ghastly horrors. John writes as if channeling the
whispers of a cult, and he terrifies with the malice of a soul-starved god..."
-Felix Blackwell, author of Stolen Tongues
"John Durgin's sophomore novel plays notes from King's The Shining, but adds a fresh harmony and
dynamic new rhythms. INSIDE THE DEVIL'S NEST is a tale of family and loss, mob bosses and cult leaders,
threaded throughout with genuine chills and near-unbearable tension."
-Brennan LaFaro, Author of Noose and Slattery Falls
