Bump-A ghost story with teeth-Thirty years ago, Sheriff Gil Lundy ended deformed serial killer Edgar Dill's bloody series of murders by turning a blind eye to justice and walling the wounded monster up in a decrepit farmhouse to die. Now, something has risen from the dust and shadow of the old Dill place, something evil, and hungry. Something that churns the skies over rural Alder County into a raging tempest and brings scream-inducing nightmares to the aging lawman and those who know what he did. There's a light on in Edgar Dill's playroom and dark, fanged things formed of crawling wood-flesh howl like band saws in hell from the trees. Bump is a full length novelization of Mark Kidwell's hit horror comic mini-series that expands the dark, violent tale to a whole new level of terror. Bump will get under your skin...and leave splinters on its way out.

Fantastic debut novel for a talented writer. If you dig ghosts and ghoulies and punk rock, grab this book and devour it. Heck, get two of em. Just watch out for splinters.

Finally! An original story. Bump encompasses an amazing variety of horror sub-genres combined to create something brand new and incredibly dark. This book has serial killers, haunted houses, possession and one of the most staggeringly original creatures I've EVER seen on the printed page in the "Tree Huggers". Mark Kidwell's style is both sophisticated and fast paced holding you riveted and never letting the tempo falter. I highly recommend this book to fans of Richard Laymon, Jack Ketchum, Joe Lansdale and Robert McCammon.
I have read all of Kidwell's comic work and am a huge fan. This transition into prose is seamless and of even a higher caliber. I anxiously await his next novel.

Mark Kidwell's debut novel takes the tired old ghost story and turns it on its ear. Fast paced, full of gore, and fiendishly creepy-Bump is a dark little morality tale that takes no prisoners. I really enjoyed Kidwell's blood soaked, Southern Gothic world full of freaks, monsters, and humans who could be both.
And then there are all the little details that draw you into this world. Some that will make you wince, and some that might make you ill. Kidwell doesn't hold back on the bloody details.
But let's get back to the monsters. I guarantee you've never seen anything like them. Like the classic Frankenstein's monster, they are creatures of torment and rage.
If you've read the original Bump graphic novel and you dare to go deeper into Kidwell's "Ghost Story with Teeth," you won't be disappointed. There are many things left to learn as Kidwell has delved deeper into his mean little story and created something unique. A ghost story that is nothing like you imagined it would be. It's darker, mean, and unapologetically brutal.
I loved it.
