Revelator

This noir thriller with horror elements strongly calls to mind the work of Hank Early crossed with Cormac McCarthy. It is a slow burn that takes its time to unfurl but makes a lasting impression. Fans of the first and third seasons of the television series True Detective will also enjoy this dark, somber tale with all of its sinister elements.

Harrison Squared

A prequel of sorts to Gregory's excellent 2014 novella We Are All Completely Fine, this could easily cross over to teen audiences. The combination of coming-of-age story, Lovecraftian horror, and mystery is at turns gently funny and intensely scary, a tough balance that Gregory (Afterparty) pulls off successfully.
When Harrison's father died in a boating accident, Harrison swears he saw tentacles pull him under. Years later, Harrison and his marine biologist mother move to an eerie Massachusetts seaside town; creepy, cultish teachers and glimpses of monsters are the least of Harrison's problems after his mother disappears. The ultimate explanation of all this is somewhat tortured, but the Lovecraftian atmosphere is impeccable.

We Are All CompletelyFine

At just under 200 pages, this is a clever and creepy horror tale from Gregory (Afterparty; The Devil's Alphabet). The head-hopping from character to character can be an annoying narrative technique, but it works in this context. Concisely exploring the nature of fear and isolation, this short novel doesn't have time to develop into anything bigger, but it doesn't need to.

Afterparty

International Association for the Fantastic in the Arts (IAFA) William L. Crawford Fantasy Award winner Gregory (Pandemonium; Raising Stony Mayhall) takes on the pharmaceutical industry, drug dealers, religion, and the intricacies of how our brains work. The way the author combines the energy of a thriller with the ideas of sf is reminiscent of William Gibson's best one-step-into-the-future novels like Pattern Recognition.

Raising Stony Mayhall

Part superhero fiction, part zombie horror story, and part supernatural thriller, this luminous and compelling tale deserves a wide readership beyond genre fans. Highly recommended.
