San Antonio author Johnny Compton scared the world last year with the release of his Bram Stoker Award-nominated debut novel The Spite House. The book offered a modern take on the classic haunted house story that Publishers Weekly called a “tense work of gothic horror” that examines “how anger, grief and trauma can strengthen bonds of familial love.” This autumn, Compton returned with a new offering for fans of all things spooky: Devils Kill Devils.
