From the Author
THE PINES is now in its tenth edition. Wow! Over the years, it's appeared as a gold-embossed, leather-bound collectors' edition, a beautiful hardback volume, and as a mass market paperback - and now eBook - under a variety of imprints. (Astonishingly enough, a new trade paperback version may appear in the near future.) In celebration of the book's longevity, I thought I'd quote from some of my favorite reviews:
"It's a treat to encounter a work that's dark, brooding - downright frightening - and beautifully written. Boasting a vivid, literary voice, Dunbar twists the threads of reality and horror until the two are impeccably entwined. THE PINES is truly an astounding work, a brooding tale told with haunting grace. The mystery is intriguing, and the characters are real people with painful lives. The narrative is rich, full of substance, and literary. This is a work of art, and it only wets the appetite for its sequel." ~ Shroud Magazine
"Tough-minded, smart ... poetic ... intense ... a thoughtful and sophisticated entertainment, closer to the Southern Gothic School of fiction than most traditional horror novels." ~ The Fright Site
"A tableau of honest characters, full of depths, flaws, and the need for redemption ... an unswerving buildup of terror, and Dunbar's deft descriptive powers ... make the New Jersey pine barrens come to life." ~ Dark Recesses
"After reading THE PINES, I have a new favorite horror writer." ~ Nights & Weekends
"Intelligent, frightening and plausible ... one of the most finely crafted horror novels of the past three decades. Publication of this restored edition gives the book's current fans cause to rejoice and will help Dunbar's powerful book find the place it deserves among the classics of modern horror." ~ Weird New Jersey
"Full of chilling surprises ... a book that really deserves all the attention it's been getting." ~ Cemetery Dance Magazine
To all the people who have praised my work, once again I say 'thank you.' Your kind words are the sort of thing that keep writers going.
Sincerely,
Robert Dunbar
From the Back Cover
Deep within the desolate Pine Barrens, a series of macabre murders draws ever nearer to an isolated farmhouse where a woman struggles to raise her strange, disturbed son. The boy seems to have a psychic connection to something in the dark forest, something unseen ... and evil.
