In Matthew Lyons' pulse-pounding crime horror, A Mask of Flies, a criminal on the run after a failed heist must confront dark family secrets and demons from her past made flesh.
THE PAST HAS TEETH
In the grisly aftermath of a botched bank heist, career criminal Anne Heller has no choice but to return to her family’s cabin–a secluded shack in Colorado’s San Luis Valley, and the site of her mother’s untimely death.
Along for the ride are Jessup, Anne’s badly wounded partner, and Dutch, the police officer she’s taken hostage. As they wait for help, Anne discovers strange relics from her mother’s past and begins to unfold the mystery of her childhood at the cabin.
Then Jessup goes missing, only to turn up dead. Anne and Dutch bury her friend, but that night, he comes back and knocks at the cabin door.
Not a dream, not a hallucination, but not exactly Jessup, either. Something else. Something wearing her friend’s face. Something hungry...

Critic reviews
“A Mask of Flies blows through the intersection at Horror Street and Crime Avenue and doesn’t let off the accelerator as it takes you on a white-knuckled ride to places you do not expect.”—Chuck Wendig, New York Times bestselling author of Black River Orchard
“Cinematic, gruesome, hyper-violent, and fun as hell, A Mask of Flies fits perfectly in that nexus between propulsive crime fiction and scream-your-head-off horror. I loved every page of it.”—Keith Rosson, author of Fever House
“Lyons wows in this atmospheric horror novel. Evocative prose enhances a riveting noir plot populated by expertly shaded characters. Add in some Lovecraftian overtones, and this proves an addictive thrill ride.”—Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW

The story started off amazing, the second half dragged into a incoherent final act. Every character was unlikable the only good thing about this story was the creature. This was a poor attempt at horror.
P.s. I don’t understand why modern writers can’t write strong & capable female characters alongside equally capable male characters. Every woman in this story was a cool badass character with a chip on their shoulder but every man was either an asshole, weak or a unrealistic portrayal of a psychopath.
One of the worst books I’ve ever read.
All around mess of a story…
