Praise for Dark Roots:

"This is a nasty coiled-up snake of a novel with plenty of venom in its bite." -- Four-time Bram Stoker Award-winning author Tim Waggoner.

“Sheldon Higdon takes us down some shadowy roads with DARK ROOTS! This creepy thriller takes weird, wild, and shocking twists and turns. Grab this!” --Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Red Empire and Ghosts of the Void

“A journey through the twisted and macabre mind of human depravity.” —Nora Peevy for Hellnotes

Sheldon Higdon’s Dark Roots is a deeply disturbing and brilliantly twisted read. Blending the haunting psychological depth of True Detective, the relentless tension of To Catch a Killer, and the eerie dread of The Black Phone, this story grips from the first page and never lets go. It’s a nightmarish descent into darkness that will make every parent’s skin crawl and stomach turn. —Thom Erb, author of Snow Black, The Last in Line, and Heaven, Hell, or Houston

“The twists keep coming! Mysterious family secrets. Small town tragedy. Revelations hidden in the walls. Dark Roots has a little bit of everything for those who like their crime fiction dark. It’s a page turner all the way through!” —Corey Farrenkopf, author of Living in Cemeteries and Haunted Ecologies
