Brent Monahan

Brent Monahan is the critically acclaimed author of nine novels and numerous short stories.  In order to ensure that this true but arcane saga of ancient warfare is meticulously accurate, the author traveled to Siracusa, Sicily and also scoured the histories of Plutarch, Livy, Pausanias, Polybius, Proclus, Vitruvius,  and Dio Cassius.  His novel The Bell Witch is the basis for the forthcoming major motion picture An American Haunting.

Brent teaches at Rutgers University and lives in Pennsylvania.

Critical Praise for Brent Monahan 

For Book of the Common Dread

“A real page turner. If chills and thrills are to your taste, then Brent Monahan provides a feast.”

Robert Bloch

Author of Psycho

“Monahan breathes new life into the vampire theme… The novel is clever, thrilling, and, above all, entertaining.”

Library Journal

“An old-fashioned page-turner of the best sort. Easily the best addition to the vampire genre since Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire.”

Indianapolis Star

“The sort of well that Umberto Eco tapped in The Name of the Rose… Brent Monahan delivers much more than gore.”

Atlanta Journal & Constitution

“The modern vampire classic.”

Locus Magazine

For The Bell Witch

“Monahan keeps a perfect feeling of the period and his spooky story unfolds with just the proper sort of pacing… The author has set himself a neat little challenge, met it completely, and produced an altogether entertaining book.”

Gahan Wilson
Author of Realms of Fantasy

“Immensely satisfying.” Kirkus Reviews

The Bell Witch is soon to be released as a major motion picture entitled, An American Haunting

For The Jekyl Island Club

“Satisfying… A charming period mystery.”

The Wall Street Journal

“Combines a compelling mystery with fascinating characters from the very top levels of society in 1899 America. Readers will find themselves enjoying the rich period atmosphere at least at much as the crime solving. A first-class yarn.”
