“Bath Haus is riveting: a gripping thriller about how quickly a life can unravel after a single bad decision. P. J. Vernon deftly reminds us that the terrifying traumas from childhood are often but a prelude to the nightmares we will walk into as adults. This book is stylish, smart, and scary as hell.” Chris Bohjalian, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Flight Attendant and Hour of the Witch "A nightmarish white-knuckler about the tenuous relationship between stability and control." O, The Oprah Magazine “Bath Haus is utterly brilliant. It’s perfectly paced, gripping from go, and its clean, elegant prose goes down like scotch on the rocks. Once I picked it up, I couldn’t stop. It’s one of the best thrillers I’ve read in a very long time.” Cristina Alger, New York Times bestselling author of Girls Like Us "P. J. Vernon has crafted a thriller that is dark, gripping, and addictive. Reading Bath Haus is like eavesdropping on the disintegration of a beautiful lie. You think you know how it's going to end but you have NO IDEA." S. A. Cosby, author of Blacktop Wasteland "Bath Haus is an electrifying, addictive, and terrifying thriller that lodged my heart in my throat from the first line. The gorgeous writing and masterful, enthralling plot dug into my skin, not letting go until the explosive ending. P. J. Vernon is a spectacular talent with a brilliant voice that will hypnotize you." Samantha M. Bailey, USA Today bestselling author of Woman on the Edge “What a ride! Taut as piano wire prose, propulsive plotting. Breathlessly twisty. Brilliantly addictive.” C. J. Tudor, author of The Burning Girls "Sexy, twisted and sharp—reading Bath Haus is like reaching for a man's fly and discovering it's made of razor wire." John Fram, author of The Bright Lands “Bath Haus is a highly unique, taut, thrill ride with relatable characters, stunning twists, and startling depth. I was absolutely riveted from the first to the final shocking page. A tour de force!” Robyn Harding, international bestselling author of The Swap “PJ Vernon’s Bath Haus grabbed me by the throat (pun intended) from the opening lines. Dark, gritty, not to mention completely terrifying, the tension builds chapter after chapter, to the point where you can’t help but gasp out loud. You know bad things are coming. You know people will get hurt. But you can’t stop yourself from greedily binge-reading the pages until you reach the epic conclusion. Booklist may have called P. J. Vernon “a name to watch in the thriller genre” but I say, “Look out, world” – because he has arrived, and I, for one, am riveted. Sinister, explosive and utterly addictive, Bath Haus is a thriller on steroids.” Hannah Mary McKinnon, bestselling author of Sister Dear "I read Bath Haus in one sitting and I absolutely loved, loved, loved it! I stayed up until 2am to finish it and skipped my home workout also, so that tells you everything you need to know. The best aspect for me is that Bath Haus feels completely authentic. Both as a thriller and as a gay story." North Morgan, author of Into?: A Novel “This book stole my breath. With edgy narration and exquisite—almost painful—suspense, Bath Haus will hit your bloodstream like a tumbler of fine bourbon. A masterpiece among thrillers.” Kimmery Martin, author of The Queen of Hearts and The Antidote for Everything
