Reviews of FLOATING STAIRCASE:

"Floating Staircase deserves to stand alongside a Stephen King or a Dean Koontz--at their best. Floating Staircase is a mature horror yarn, but deep down it is also an exploration of obsessions and in particular the obsession it takes to be a writer."
--New York Journal of Books


"[A] thoughtful, multilayered tale..."
--Rue Morgue

"[A] clever, emotionally resonant foray into horror."
--Booklist

"Malfi's lyrical prose and sensitive approach only heighten his tale's emotional impact, and the final turn of events is both surprising and expertly set up."
--Publishers Weekly

"This is a super haunted house ghost story and an interesting protagonist and a great final turn-of-the-screw twist."
--Midwest Book Review

"[A]n outstanding achievement in the supernatural horror genre."
--The Crows Caw


"[A] must-read novel that just might garner some Stoker attention."
--Horrorworld

--Booklist

"An exhilarating thriller."
--Harriet Klausner

"Richly detailed and filled with mysteries."
--Urban Bachelorette

--House of Horrors


"An impressive work that leaves the reader eager to see more from this talented writer...Ronald Malfi's fast-paced plotting, smooth prose and strong, believable characters make Snow one of the best novels to bear the Leisure imprint in some time."

--Horror World Reviews

"An impressively atmospheric novel with a wicked streak."

Reviews of SHAMROCK ALLEY:

"This is a bottom-of-the-ninth, two-out, grand slam home run of a book."
--Lorenzo Carcaterra, Author of Sleepers and Chasers

"The author's previous books have garnered him acclaim and a small but devoted audience; this one could easily life him into the mainstream."
--Booklist

"Powerful and harrowing...Shamrock Alley is hands-down the best novel I've read all year, and I have a feeling it's going to be hard to find another book that can top it anytime soon."
--Andrew Monge, Horror Drive-In


Reviews of PASSENGER:

"Malfi's florid descriptiveness and taut writing style grip the reader right from the get-go."
--Rue Morgue

"A gripping tale that the reader will not be able to put down."
--Literary Strange Digest

"A superb work of literature as well as a frightening examination of psychological suspense and terror."
--Fear Zone

"Mysterious, thought-provoking and gritty."
--Midwest Book Review

Reviews of VIA DOLOROSA:

"A spellbinding novel of the walls we all build around us."
--Hilton Head Monthly

"Solid characters and a story to match."
--Bookgasm

Reviews of THE NATURE OF MONSTERS:

"With a voice that is clever and appealing...Malfi has proven once again that he is a genuine storyteller."
--Midwest Book Review


Reviews of THE FALL OF NEVER:

"Filled with lush, dark imagery, relentless tension, and sympathetic characters, The Fall of Never heads in directions you'll never predict and deserves a place on your bookshelf next to Peter Straub's Shadowland."
--The Harrow

"The Fall of Never is a suspenseful and compellingly original tale that delivers a captivating supernatural mystery with an eerie, dreamlike quality. Ronald Malfi masterfully blends psychological terror and traditional gothic horror into a sinister fairy tale that would make Stephen King and the Brothers Grimm shudder with dark delight. Highly recommended."
--Dark Realms
