"In his latest pulp horror gem, Janz channels early Stephen King to twist the story of a secluded writers' retreat into something unique and thought-provoking." - Booklist
Ten writers are selected for a summer-long writing retreat with the most celebrated and reclusive author in the world. Their host is the legendary Roderick Wells. Handsome, enigmatic, and fiendishly talented, Wells promises to teach his pupils about writing, about magic, about the untapped potential that each of them possesses. Most of all, he plans to teach them about the darkness in their hearts.
The writers think they are signing up for a chance at riches and literary prestige. But they are really entering the twisted imagination of a deranged genius, a lethal contest pitting them against one another in a struggle for their sanity and their lives. They have entered into Roderick Wells's most brilliant and horrible creation.

Anmeldelser
"One of the best writers in modern horror to come along in the last decade. Janz is one of my new favorites."
Brian Keene
"Mr. Janz has a fine eye for the layers of personality and character usually hidden from the world."
The Haunted Reading Room
"Equal parts Lord of the Flies mixed with The Girl on the Train with a cast of unreliable and shifty personalities, this novel belongs with the best thrillers on the bookshelf and should be on yours, stat."
A.E Siraki
"Full of wicked imagery and precision placed scare tactics, The Dark Game doesn't disappoint on the spooky scale."
Just a Guy Who Liked to Read
"Dark, violent, and twisted, The Dark Game blends horror with a character study to disturbing effect."

Horror After Dark
«“…incredible whirlwind of nightmarish suspense…”»
Howling Libraries
«“If you love horror stories featuring plenty of characters and plenty of gruesome moments, I definitely recommend checking this book out.”»
Tara’s Book Addiction
«“If you enjoy reading books with eeriness and suspense, then pick up this book.”»
Terror Tree
«“Jonathan Janz may be rising above the “rising star” of horror status with several highly regarded novels under his belt. The Dark Game is another great novel to add to his list.”»
Real Dead Review
«“I'm sure we've all heard authors explain how, often as they write a character will take over the story and will take it in directions the author never intended. Well, The Dark Game is this idea on acid.”»
Frank Michaels Errington
«“The end result is a story showcasing an author at the top of his own dark game.”»
High fever Books
«“Janz spins a nasty little tale of psychological and supernatural horror”»
Reclusive Reads
«“If someone told you this is actually a novel Stephen King had written and forgotten about [...] this is without a doubt the end result of that long-winded metaphor.”»
Splattergeist
«“Janz’s writing has a way of pulling rabbits out of hats with his plots that fit well within the confines of his story”»
