Eyes on the island

Published by Fiction Advocate, Eyes on the Island was released in 2016. It has been favorably reviewed by newspapers, websites and book blogs.

“[A] Spanish moss thriller, dark with biblical conflict… absolutely stupendous.”—The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

"Captures the atmosphere of Savannah and the Georgia barrier islands, with their mysterious and otherworldly histories, in a way that anyone familiar with the area will recognize." —The Book Fetish Blog

"Frank Reddy's debut blows readers off their feet…Readers familiar with H.P. Lovecraft could easily be convinced that Eyes on the Island was a cosmic horror story in disguise…Reddy's novel is deceptive and the air of uncertainty makes Eyes on the Island a gripping thriller."—Creative Loafing

"Reddy is able to weave together Fordham's childhood, first career, marriage, and fatherhood and also provide a complex—albeit mysterious—history of the island and the inhabitants with ease. This is a damn good novel." —Fig and Thistle

Here's what other authors have to say about the debut novel:

Frank Reddy conjures up a page-turning tale of a man of God in a godforsaken place, where old evil on a troubled island waits to challenge an already-challenged faith. Reddy is a revelation – this debut novel foreshadows a tidal wave of a career. This book will have you reaching for the next … and all the others to come.

-Charles McNair, author of Pulitzer-nominated Land O’ Goshen and also Pickett’s Charge  

A twisty, spooky Southern tale of religion and loss, full of strange visions, dripping with Spanish moss, and haunted by characters who are either predators or victims or both.

-Thomas Mullen, author of The Last Town on Earth, which won 2006 Best Debut Novel by USA Today and James Fenimore Cooper Prize for Excellence in Historical Fiction
