Stephen King-praised horror novelist Keith Rosson returns with ‘Crone’
Rosson’s latest novel mixes monsters, witchcraft and a grieving father’s search for his missing daughter.
Illustrator-Turned-Author Keith Rosson released his latest horror novel, "Crone," which follows a grieving father learning the fate of his missing daughter.
Rosson blends crime and horror in his writing, taking common tropes like witches and ghosts and reworking them into human-centric stories.
Readers familiar with Rosson's work will recognize the "Crooked Wheel" motorcycle gang, connecting "Crone" to earlier novels "The Devil by Name" and "The Hollowlands."
In a recent email, Rosson explained he focuses on human stories rather than monsters, avoiding "happy endings" to explore how people survive extreme circumstances.
"Crone" explores themes of grief and magical realism as Rosson challenges expectations by flipping established horror tropes into something entirely human-centered.
