Hey, all. My new serial novel is being released in bi-weekly installments, and the reception to the first two parts (#1 being absolutely free!) has been phenomenal. My fellow author Glenn Rolfe recently likened the book to Off Season and called Savage Species "Ketchum-esque."
Mark Justice, the mastermind behind Pod of Horror recently said, "Reading Savage Species by Jonathan Janz is like discovering a lost Richard Laymon novel. And that's a good thing."
Of Part One: Night Terrors, Publishers Weekly said, "Fans of old-school splatterpunk horror—Janz cites Richard Laymon as an influence, and it shows—will find much to relish."
Also of Night Terrors, Michael R. Collings, writing for Hellnotes said, "Which leads to the monster—monsters, actually, since by the end of Night Terrors there are hordes of them, each more vicious and ferocious than the last. They are actually quite fascinating. Think a huge Bigfoot crossed with Rick Hautala’s secretive and voracious Little Brothers; the improbably leaping Yeti from the Syfy channel’s 2008 offering, Yeti: Curse of the Snow Demon, crossed with H.G. Wells’ Morlocks (at least as envisioned by George Pal in the 1960s The Time Machine); 1980s beach movies crossed with contemporary tales of urban horrors; ancient tribal legends come horrifyingly to life crossed with inept bureaucrats seeking to squeeze a profit out of a landscape that has apparently been uniquely empty of human life for centuries."

Part Two: The Children is on sale now, and it's already received a five-out-of-five star rave from Horror Novel Reviews:
