SYNOPSIS: Night of the Long Knives is the thrilling and horrifying new novel from the author of Heavy Oceans, Midas, and Burn the Plans (one of Esquire’s Best Horror Books of 2022).

After enduring a personal tragedy, Andy Ferris loses himself in making videos that explore the history behind local hauntings—videos that grab the attention of a wealthy eccentric with an obsession for collecting objects that belonged to famous killers. Hired by this man to locate a particular weapon, Ferris finds himself entangled in a mystery that spans history and drags him through a museum of death, a doomsday cult, an underground bunker, and brings him face to face with a serial killer as he unravels the truth behind an insidious conspiracy. Tyler Jones blends horror and true crime in a story about loss, redemption, and the hidden threads of the world that pull us ever closer toward an inevitable end.

Available in two limited edition states:

Praise for NIGHT OF THE LONG KNIVES:

“A cosmic conspiracy thriller that terrifies like no other...effortlessly blends mind-bending paranoia with supernatural intrigue, grounding it all in a hearty gallop of grief.”
—Clay McLeod Chapman, author of What Kind of Mother

“An addictive, deeply compelling exploration of pain, loss, guilt, and the darkest corners of the human psyche. It never shies away from asking difficult questions, and has the courage to look its messy answers right in the eye. I loved it.”
—Shaun Hamill, author of A Cosmology of Monesters and The Dissonance

“Tyler Jones goes bold...goes daring. A dangerous book...a story that does not wallow in the sentimentality of grief, but carves its own path, and where it ends, well, God help us all.”
—Ronald Malfi, author of Come With Me and Small Town Horror

“Tyler Jones masterfully intertwines apocalyptic cults, cursed objects, and demonic entities with the everyday human perils of grief, love, and rage. This is a powerful novel about tragic endings, the raw pain of renewal, and one man’s heartbreaking search for redemption in a world on the brink of chaos.”

"A powerful tale of grief and terror that proves that memories have the power to haunt us as strongly as any ghost. Wrapped in layers of supernatural suspense, this mesmerizing mystery further demonstrates why Tyler Jones is a writer to watch."

"Night of the Long Knives draws you deep into its sticky web of grief, addiction, and true crime—and then the real terror begins. Tyler Jones weaves biblical violence and modern-day tragedy into a tale that rushes headlong up a ladder to the cosmic. Equal parts thoughtful and thrilling, this book tugs at the universe’s hidden threads, pulling things perhaps best left hidden out into the light."
