Reviews / Votes
"Rolfe is the real deal, folks, and anything he writes is well worth checking out." -- Gord Rollo, author of The Jigsaw Man and The Crucifixion Experiments "An intense tale reminiscent of classic works by Jack Ketchum or Stephen King" -- Booklist "August's Eyes delivers in a relentless, unforgiving manner, proving the author pens his work without kid gloves and no apologies. If you have children of your own, be prepared for a parent's worst nightmare." -- Mystery & Suspense "This is a world where dreams and reality converge, one that will make you highly suspicious of green vans." -- Schizanthus Nerd "A book that'll be a favorite of many readers this year, 'August's Eyes' definitely delivered a fantastic read from start to finish." -- Steve Stred, Author of The Girl Who Hid in the Trees "As a lover of dark fiction, I really enjoyed the ride that August's Eyes took me on." -- Glamorous Book Gal "I strongly urge horror fans to read Rolfe as he has his own unique voice within horror that always makes him a great read." -- The Literary License Podcast "Highly addictive, delightfully strange, creepy as hell and exceptionally written. Plausibly Rolfe's finest yet." -- The Musings of Dustin A. Frueh "I just have to say that this was a book I did not want to put down. For every parent who has ever feared that lurking stranger, the exact one we warn our children about, this book will chill you to the bone. Be warned." -- CastleMacabre "August's Eyes is a mix of realistic horror of a serial killer that goes after young teenage boys and the supernatural. I really enjoyed the supernatural element within the story, but the realistic horror is what really scared me." -- Mindy's Book JourneyMore details

Person
Glenn Rolfe is a singer, songwriter, and author of over eighteen books. He has studied Creative Writing at Southern New Hampshire University, toured in a minivan with his punk rock friends, played the Hard Rock Cafe in Denver, hosted a radio show at Bates College, and dreams of surfing in the Pacific Ocean one day with his future pet goat.
He loves the books of Stephen King, Brian Keene, Ronald Malfi, Jack Ketchum, and Richard Laymon; the music of Bruce Springsteen, Oasis, Pre-Reputation Taylor Swift, Kiss, and Billy Joel; and soaking in the sun and eating pier fries at Old Orchard Beach. His kids love him despite his weirdness, so who could ask for more?
He is a Splatterpunk Award nominee and the author of When the Night Falls, Until Summer Comes Around, The Window, Becoming, Blood and Rain, The Haunted Halls, Chasing Ghosts, Abram's Bridge, Things We Fear, Boom Town, and the collections, Slush, and Land of Bones.
He is hard at work on many more books and songs. Stay tuned!
