Eidolon Avenue.
One building. Five doors. Five floors.
Twenty-five nightmares feeding the hunger lurking
between the bricks and waiting beneath the boards.
This is the first feast.
From the retired Chinese assassin in apartment 1A driven by a ravenous darkness to the young girl in 1E whose quiet thoughts unleash unspeakable horror, every cruel choice, every deadly mistake, every drop of spilled blood is remembered, resurrected and relived to feed the ancient evil that lives … on Eidolon Avenue.
“Lyrical, poetic, and devastating, Jonathan Winn’s Eidolon Avenue is everything good horror should be. At times, I couldn’t help feeling as if I was reading early Barker, and I can’t think of a higher compliment than that. Pay attention folks, Winn does as his name suggests, and this is a killer collection of nightmares.” – Kealan Patrick Burke, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Turtle Boy, Kin, and Sour Candy
“Winn grounds the story with grim realities. Violent and graphic, the actions and thoughts of each tenant push the boundaries of comfort. There are flourishes of intensely dark content, both physical and psychological, within the pages of this story. It never goes to Edward Lee extremes, but this is classic splatterpunk by way of early Clive Barker and Jack Ketchum with the unhinged way Robert Bloch can get under your skin. This is truly adult horror.” – Horror Underground
“Jonathan Winn draws his narrative around you like a velvet noose. In a heartbeat, the warm embrace of his lyrical prose gives way to deadly tension, and you’re left gasping for breath.” – Doug Murano, co-editor of the Shadows Over Main Street series and Gutted: Beautiful Horror Stories.
“The structure of his five novellas is similar to the structure of Thomas Disch’s 334, a collection of stories of the inhabitants of an apartment building in a future NYC, 334. Like Disch the strength of Winn’s writing is the excellent characterization—the unusual inhabitants of those five apartments are the stories. Put a magnet on a note with Jonathan Winn’s name underlined on the fridge, then watch for his byline. Recommended.” – Gene O’Neill, The Cal Wild Chronicles, The Hitchhiking Effect, At The Lazy K
“Jonathan Winn’s writing is solid and assured, and EIDOLON AVENUE: THE FIRST FEAST is a big, sweeping, fantastical and exotic work that is as engrossing and thrilling as it is disturbing and horrifying. Winn is definitely an author to watch.” – Greg F. Gifune, author The Bleeding Season
