“Mark Kirkbride’s debut novel, Satan’s Fan Club, explores territories only an experienced novelist would dare attempt. Utilizing a unique pair of protagonists, twins Louise and James, we ride along with them on their trip to ‘hell’ in this well-executed cross-genre thrill-ride. Equal parts horror, thriller, and dark fantasy, Satan’s Fan Club brags the writing skills and story-telling adeptness of a seasoned novelist, with the freshness of a strong new voice. I would urge any fan of cross-genre fiction to pick up a copy of this fine debut novel.”
Michael Laimo, author of Deep in the Darkness and Dead Souls
