What the critics say about Greg F. Gifune:

“Quietly powerful … with haunting emotional depth.” ~ Publishers Weekly

"Classic." ~ Library Journal

"Unique." ~ Midwest Book Review

“One of the best writers of his generation.” ~ Roswell Literary Review

"Startling in intellectual scope." ~ Cemetery Dance Magazine

"Gifune's work delves deep into the soul." ~ Writer OnLine

And a few comments from colleagues:

"Among the finest dark suspense writers of our time."
Ed Gorman, author of BLOOD MOON and THE MIDNIGHT ROOM

Image

Greg F. Gifune’s work has been published all over the world. Books like KINGDOM OF SHADOWS, CATCHING HELL, LONG AFTER DARK, SAYING UNCLE, CHILDREN OF CHAOS, JUDAS GOAT and BLOOD IN ELECTRIC BLUE have garnered consistent praise, and his already considerable readership grows every day.

GARDENS OF NIGHT is the latest extraordinary novel from Greg F. Gifune.

Recovering from violent trauma, Marcus Banyon discovers that the reality he has come to perceive is no longer the reality other people share. Are these hallucinations? Or have his eyes been opened to meanings long hidden from the rest of the humanity? As he retreats to an isolated cabin, his visions lead him to confront creatures from ancient mythology, beings who hold the fate of our world in their hands.

GARDENS OF NIGHT is the premier release from UNINVITED BOOKS, a new independent press dedicated to restoring the mantle of literary distinction to dark fiction.

It’s hard to believe we’re finally here. Initially, the mission statement for Uninvited Books talked about wanting to publish serious literature that would endure, books with an ‘unrelenting focus on visionary artistry, skilled craftsmanship and psychological sophistication.’ Remember? Talk about setting the bar a little high. I thought it might be difficult to find the right book to launch with.

Greg F. Gifune’s GARDENS OF NIGHT may be the ultimate work of adult horror – a truly existential thriller about the supreme supernatural manifestation. And it isn’t like any other book I’ve ever read. Gifune is a genius. What he provides here is an extraordinary layering of violent and disturbing imagery, interwoven with nightmarish moments of introspection. The contrast between the extreme beauty of the writing and the grotesqueries of the storyline gives the book incredible voltage. There’s an almost sensual pleasure in reading prose this good. I believe this is Gifune’s finest novel, the perfect realization of themes he’s been developing through more than a dozen books. The astonishing thing is that GARDENS OF NIGHT also works on the most basic genre level. The plot is riveting, and all the horror aspects are solidly in place: bloody and mind-shattering mayhem, terrifying catacombs, even a coven of undead nuns.

It’s almost too good to be true.

I don’t think Uninvited Books could have made a more perfect choice for our first book.

UPDATE:
Talk about a learning curve! After getting completely bogged down in the details of publishing a collectors' edition of GARDENS OF NIGHT, I decided to cut the numbers in half. UNINVITED BOOKS will only issue 75 copies (instead of the 150 originally announced). When they're gone, they're gone, so grab one fast. It's a brilliant novel, and this edition is going to be beautiful. (And -- with such a low print run -- these books are going to be highly collectible. Remember Gifune's HERETICS? The limited hardbound edition resold for record amounts, and even used copies of the paperback still fetch steep prices.) Those of you who already have your orders in are getting a real deal.

I'm in for one of those 75. I don't know if I missed it, but what kind of release date are we looking at?

Cool. It really is an amazing book.

We announced October 1, but with a little luck they may start to ship a bit earlier.

Is there anything Gifune writes that isn't amazing?

Glad I got my order in early.

Just finished this.

Oh my God. I've fallen into the deepest hole of Gifune's making, and I am having the hardest time climbing out.

This was amazing.

Tony, it is amazing. I've been telling everyone this is possibly the most brilliant novel yet by an absolutely brilliant writer.

I hear people have got their copies. I hope it doesn't take long to get to the UK :|

Although I did get the last copy, I think..... :)
Have all the copies now shipped Rob?

Holy Cow! The best review of Gardens of Night that I've read appears right here in Horrorworld! The fact that it's the only review I've read on it does have some bearing on my opinion but it's not the only reason! Click below and see for yourself why you have to purchase Gardens of Night (now in an affordable paperback version I believe).

I think the Future of Horror award should definitely go to Greg. The judge made a wise choice.
