Booth City is a two-book series by S.A. Sidor published in 2004 and 2005. Skin River and Bone Factory are dark crime novels set in the Midwest, where isolation and harsh landscapes create an atmosphere of creeping dread. These were among Sidor’s earliest published works, predating his shift toward supernatural fiction.
The books are more grounded than Sidor’s later work, relying on human villainy rather than Lovecraftian monsters. Readers who come to Sidor through his Arkham Horror novels may be surprised by the relatively realistic tone here, though the same dark sensibility runs through both types of story.
