WILDCAT THICKET ELFORD ALLEY

EARLY PRAISE FOR WILDCAT THICKET:
 
“Wildcat Thicket calls back to Joe R. Lansdale’s best, characters scraping bone and sinew just to get by. This pre-historic Texas, cosmic cryptid creep-fest is an absolute blast, that’ll have you seeing heatwaves scintillating straight off the page.”
CLAY MCLEOD CHAPMAN, AUTHOR OF WAKE UP AND OPEN YOUR EYES:
 
From the author of Never Leaving, Apartment 239, and A Haunted Holiday, comes a blood-spattered journey of survival.
In the dying Texas town of Lagoe, Ry and Erin are just trying to survive. Trapped in a crumbling trailer, dogged by debt, and surrounded by ghosts of a better future. When their reclusive landlord vanishes deep within the woods of Wildcat Thicket, and something starts creeping towards their home at night, knocking, whistling, mocking; they realise their worst fears aren’t late bills or speeding fines.
Something is out there waiting for them, something pre-historic, mimicking, hungry.

Lock your doors. Trust the dog. Don’t answer the voices.
 
 
“A rollicking, suspenseful novella with a very unique take on Bigfoot, Eflord delivers a story with heart, humour, and plenty of page-turning action.”
STEVE STRED, AUTHOR OF MASTODON AND CHURN THE SOIL

“Wildcat Thicket is the home of a mysterious doorway through time, a monstrous cat, and a horde of bipedal apes. And yet, it’s still less scary than the surrounding world of AR-15 giveaways and overdue rent. Another darkly funny journey into the mind of Elford Alley.”
COY HALL, AUTHOR OF THE OWL MEN OF SHANIDAR
 
 
“With wry observations and thrilling plot twists, Wildcat Thicket tells a marvelously relevant story about Ry and Erin; a couple trying to survive in a dying Texas town inhabited by mysterious creatures. Elford Alley weaves us an exciting story filled with the horrors of time-travelling beasts and late-stage capitalism.”
IVY GRIMES, AUTHOR OF THE GHOSTS OF BLAUBART MANSION
 
“A creature feature with horror, humour, and heart. Elford has crafted a tall tale that still manages to be both relevant and timeless.”
PATRICK TUMBLETY, AUTHOR OF THE OCTOBER CHILDREN:
