Scary and hard to put down. You might be advised not to read it at night * Stephen King * Memorials is a twisty, dark tale with an undeniable sense of place and a creepy atmosphere that pulls you in and never lets go. This story about friendship and youthful adventure quickly spirals into mayhem and paranoia, and the journey is an absolute blast. As heartfelt as it is chilling, this nostalgic, diverse, wildly entertaining novel proves, once again, that Richard Chizmar is one of the best -- Gabino Iglesias, bestselling and award-winning author of The Devil Takes You Home Bestseller Chizmar wows in an immersive and uber-creepy novel ... Chizmar pulls no punches on the way to a thoroughly satisfying finale, creating a literate horror novel that will remind some of T.E.D. Kleins The Ceremonies. Its a tour de force. * Publishers Weekly, starred review * Richard Chizmar is a gifted writer. His books work on a primal level and I look forward to reading whatever he writes -- Don Winslow Richard Chizmar's Memorials is, on the one hand, a showcase for his ability to create warm, insightful characterizations and, on the other, a funhouse ride that grows more and more sinister. It's an all-around terrific piece of storytelling by an author who really knows how to entertain -- Owen King Memorials is such a unique idea and so wonderfully, insidiously creepy. Brilliant storytelling and fantastic small-town horror infused with real heart. I'll never look at a roadside tribute in the same way again! -- C.J. Tudor You'll never view a country roadside in the same way once you've finished Memorials. Chizmar knows where both stories of terror and stories of the heart lurk - and best of all, he understands that they're found in the same places. Buckle up for a haunting ride -- Michael Koryta
