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, reworking common tropes like witches and ghosts into human-centric stories rather than monster-driven narratives.
Readers familiar with Rosson's work will recognize the "Crooked Wheel" motorcycle gang, which connects "Crone" to previous 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 characters survive extreme circumstances.
Moving beyond standard tropes, "Crone" explores themes of grief and magical realism as Rosson challenges audience expectations by reworking established horror conventions.
