The Prince of Earth

Review
5 STARS ***** "Robinson's writing is exquisite in its ambiguity -- like, perhaps, a long Wallace Stevens poem. It requires more than simply reading. It requires something even better: interpretation. It's one of those wonderful works of art that demands you meet meet the artist halfway. Yes, there's mind-chilling horror here, but also, miraculously, a rare kind of beauty."-- Jon Michael Miller, Readers' Favorite review
-5 STARS *****"A superb read that must be read with all the lights on."-- Lesley Jones, Readers' Favorite review
-5 STARS *****"Mike Robinson is a true master of storytelling, with an innate gift for horror." -- Carolina Restrepo, Readers' Favorite review
It had come back. It had come back and it was stronger ...
In 1988, young American traveler Quincy Redding is trekking across the misty terrain of the Cairngorms, in the Scottish Highlands. She is destined for the infamous peak Ben MacDui, where she soon finds herself debilitated ... and at the mercy of a malevolent entity.
A darkly imaginative and harrowing tale, Prince of Earth spans twenty years, alternately following Quincy in her 1988 ordeal in Scotland as well as Quincy in 2008, when, as an adult, she begins experiencing strangeness that threatens her family and her life. Strangeness that may be related to what happened all those years ago.

MORE PRAISE FOR "THE PRINCE OF EARTH"
“...a horror story in the truest sense, but not one filled with gore and mayhem. No zombies or vampires live within these pages, although there are pages alive with monstrous activities. Here, the reader will deal with the very core of what is or is not humane in the essence of one’s character.”
— Vitina Molgaard, HorrorNovelReviews.com
“Robinson has a way of startling even those who think they can’t be surprised by a plot twist or tangle. The subtleties with which he conveys profound images, thoughts or ideas are often so skillfully crafted, readers will find themselves going back to re-read things just so they can enjoy them a second time. … A fine mastery of the literary craft.”
— Catherine Cruzan, author, Elfkind
