Newsletter of MADNESS!
Everybody!
Just a brief note reminding you that you should buy THE MISSING repeatedly and often. It’s a new book every time. Read it backwards and sideways, too. I’ve sent you all a personal message within its pages.
NEWS:
I’m blogging on HarperCollins’ Eos Website. Go take a gander. Some serious entries, some underpants confessionals. Underpants, you ask? Yes, underpants.

Also, my interview with Rue Morgue Magazine is still in bookstores, and Dark Scribe’s is still live, too.

REVIEWS:
They like it; they really like it!
Dark Scribe: “This is a writer who actually gets better with each word that flows from her blood-soaked pen… Like King and Straub and Koontz before her, Langan proves that she’s no one-hit wonder and is in this for the long haul.” –Vince Liaguno
Romance Reviews Today: “THE MISSING is
an excellent book… A well-written, highly disturbing novel of evil at
its worst.” --Terrie Figueroa
Darque Reviews: “The Missing is horror at its shocking best… Hair-raising, and like any nightmare it will linger long after you’ve reached the end.”—Kimberly Swan
Fresh Fiction “Chilling horror at its finest! …a great read by a very talented new voice in the horror genre.”—Tanzey Cutter
Madison Country Herald: “The Missing is reminiscent of Stephen King's Salem's Lot with wicked drops of Koontz, Barker and Straub. Sarah Langan is the new jack-o'-lantern on the doorstep. Walk around her cautiously.”--JC Patterson
Round Table Reviews: “This battle of good versus evil will leave readers on the edge of their seat.”-- Tracy Farnsworth
Fantasy Book Critic: “THE MISSING is nightmarishly good, Sarah Langan is definitely the
real deal, and my love for horror literature has been rekindled in a big way!—Robert Thompson
The Agony Column: “THE MISSING may just make you realize how much you've been missing your
American Cheese, how delightful these paperback visions of terror are.”—Rick Kleffel
I hear there’s one up in the new issue of Fangoria. So somebody go
buy it, and let me know! Or, buy it anyway because Fangoria is cool!
And remember, you, too, can review THE MISSING, by stopping over at
Amazon.com.
REVIEWS FROM THE ARCHIVES:
Starred Review, Publisher’s Weekly: “…a genuine creepfest that recalls, in the best way possible, the early work of Stephen King… Langan has the control of a pro, parsing just enough horrific details to allow the truly gruesome scenes to play out unbound in the imagination; this solid sophomore effort proves that the uncanny ability of The Keeper to burrow into readers’ heads and stay there was no fluke.”
The Times of London : “Langan has a sharp eye for the small, vivid details of American life, and her characters are utterly believable. “—Lisa Tuttle
Brian Keene, author of Ghoul: “With THE MISSING, Sarah Langan solidifies her position alongside Joe Hill, Tim Lebbon, Tom Piccirilli, and a handful of others as one of the best dark fiction writers of our generation.”
Hellnotes: "Reads like any of the superior works of King, McCammon, or Barker,” —Craig Davis
Starburst: "An outstanding page-turner that sidesteps the more dogged cliches while celebrating others with grandeur gore."
SFX: "lovingly gruesome descriptions, and the characters are richly detailed.”
