ReviewsPraise for Those Across the River One of Publishers Weekly's Top-Ten SF, Fantasy & Horror Novels A 2012 World Fantasy Award Nominee for Best Novel "What a treat. As much F. Scott Fitzgerald as Dean Koontz. A graceful, horrific read."-Patricia Briggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author "So real you can almost see the sweat roll down the page."- Boston Herald "Wonderfully eerie from start to finish-a novel sure to enthrall readers of all stripes."-Grant Blackwood, #1 New York Times bestselling author "An unsettling brew of growing menaceâ€¦Do not miss this chilling debut."-F. Paul Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of Cold City "Sublimely crafted."- New York Journal of Books "Lures you into a different era, seduces you with eloquent prose and sensual period details, then clamps down on your jugularâ€¦An outstanding debut."-Hank Schwaeble, Bram Stoker Awardwinning author of Diabolical "A delightfully genre-bending juxtaposition of supernatural horror and gothic drama."- California Literary Review "Gripping, compelling gothic horror in the most classical sense, an American Dracula that absorbs the reader into its seductive embrace through lush rhythms and a veneer of homespun innocence."- The Trades And for Between Two Fires "By combining modern horror dynamics with a convincing medieval setting, Christopher Buehlman secures his status among today's leading dark-fantasy authors."- Shelf Awareness "Fans of historical fantasy and horror will find this epic darkly rewarding."- Publishers Weekly "Buehlman is now two for two in delivering eerie, offbeat novels with admirable literary skill."- Kirkus Reviews

SynopsisThose Across the River , a "beautifully writtenâ€¦exceedingly clever" ( Boston Herald ) masterpiece of "genuine terror" ( New York Times bestselling author F. Paul Wilson), was hailed by #1 New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris as "one of the best first novels I've ever read." Now comes Christopher Buehlman's new novel-one of uncommon horrors hiding behind the walls of the house next doorâ€¦ "You think you got away with something, don't you? But your time has run out. We know where you are. And we are coming." The man on the screen says this in Russian. "Who are you?" The man smiles, but it's not a pleasant smile. The image freezes. The celluloid burns exactly where his mouth is, burns in the nearly flat U of his smile. His eyes burn, too. The man fades, leaving the burning smiley face smoldering on the screen. "Oh Christ," Andrew says. The television catches fire. Andrew Ranulf Blankenship is a handsome, stylish nonconformist with wry wit, a classic Mustang, and a massive library. He is also a recovering alcoholic and a practicing warlock, able to speak with the dead through film. His house is a maze of sorcerous booby traps and escape tunnels, as yours might be if you were sitting on a treasury of Russian magic stolen from the Soviet Union thirty years ago. Andrew has long known that magic was a brutal game requiring blood sacrifice and a willingness to confront death, but his many years of peace and comfort have left him soft, more concerned with maintaining false youth than with seeing to his own defense. Now a monster straight from the pages of Russian folklore is coming for him, and frost and death are coming with her., "Those Across the River," a beautifully written exceedingly clever ("Boston Herald") masterpiece of genuine terror ("New York Times" bestselling author F.
