“Cody Goodfellow's Vertical takes the phrase "propulsive thriller" and makes it come alive. Moving with the velocity of a body plummeting from a skyscraper, Goodfellow takes us places few of us have ever been and makes us feel every ounce of tension, terror, and triumph. Highly recommended.” —Jeffrey J, Mariotte, author of The Squad and Empty Rooms

"Forget Everest, for the urbex crew Les Furies, it's the built environment that's waiting to be conquered. With hurtling energy and a taste for dangerous fun Cody Goodfellow brings modern barnstorming to life in Vertical, a stomach-flipping drop tower in the form of a novel. You'll never look at a skyscraper the same way again." –Buzzy Jackson, author of To Die Beautiful: A Novel.

PRAISE FOR THE AUTHOR

“80s vintage horror with a contemporary edge. An exemplary wordsmith, his prose sticks a needle in your brain and gives it a twist. This stuff is Lovecraft on acid.” — Laird Barron, author of The Imago Sequence & Other Stories


“Cody Goodfellow's imagination is a freeway flyer, and his prose is a ride on a rocket-sled. He's one of the two or three god-damned best writers in the genres today.” — Michael Shea, World Fantasy Award-winning author of Nifft the Lean and Copping Squid
