Praise for Michael David Anderson

“Michael David Anderson is a visionary capable of taking you along mind-binding journeys that compete with the very best the literary world has to offer. His characters often feel familiar and relatable but are skillfully twisted into fantastic and fearsome anomalies that are anything but cookie-cutter. His ever-expanding body of work is a showcase of a wonderfully macabre imagination and brilliant storytelling worthy of a spot on every bookshelf.”
— Nathan Day, author of ORPHAN SURFACING
“[Anderson] blends psychological horror and suspense with compelling characters, resulting in stories that you don’t want to stop reading. Highly recommended for fans of Stephen King with a similar interconnected book universe.”
— Patricia Gilliam, author of THE HANNARIA SERIES
