Joseph Nassise’s standalone novels bracket his career. Riverwatch (2000) was his debut, a horror novel about an ancient creature awakened beneath a small town. Twenty-five years later, The Carrion King (2025) marks his return to standalone horror.
Both books show Nassise working in pure horror rather than the urban fantasy action of his series work. Riverwatch established the dark tone that would define his career, while The Carrion King demonstrates his continued interest in the genre after decades of series writing.
