Horace Yoder thinks he's got the perfect scam.

Unfortunately for Yoder, the family has other ideas...and their plans are MUCH more sinister. A new horror novella from the author of WITCHING HOUR THEATRE.
OLD ORDER has been nominated for Outstanding Horror Short Story in the 2011 Preditors and Editors Readers Poll.
Old Order edition by Jonathan Janz Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks
Written in 2010, Old Order caused quite a sensation among fans of Amish Romance. As some of the Amazon customers have pointed out in their reviews, "it is totally smutty and definately [sic] not a family or christian read." "I guess one doesn't think of horrors like this inAmish communities." "Without a doubt one of the most disgusting and vile things I have ever read."
Oh. Wait, hold on. Nope, sorry, those early reviews were apparently not meant to be the glowing endorsements they most certainly should be within the finer circles of horror readership, but they're just as effective I'd say. And let's face it, if that last review quote I pulled isn't cover blurb material, I don't know what is!
So, Old Order. It's decidedly not an Amish Romance, although in Jonathan Janz's afterword it's stated that this novella practically flew straight onto a number of ereaders and that, based on the volume of disappointed one-starers, readers partial to plain people didn't know what the heck they were getting themselves into. Apparently none of them read the book's description and just blind bought the book based on the previous cover's depiction of a barn. Seriously.
What Old Order is is a groovy slow-burn work of erotic horror. Con-man Horace, posing as an Amish ne'er-do-well who's been kicked out of the community, trades back-breaking labor for room and board in the hopes that he can relieve a family of their precious valuables. Janz kicks things off with plenty of titillation and then takes a turn toward the paranormal bizarre, and then rapidly shifts gears into a finale I never saw coming.
Old Order has a nice 80s vibe to it, and it would have fit right in with the Hot Blood series of erotic horror anthologies where sex and scares were part and parcel. At around only 50 pages, this is a quick read, and there's a few moments of hair-raising intensity powerful enough to churn butter and a few barn-raising scares along the way. Horror fans just might find themselves living in an Amish paradise with this one.

Old Order edition by Jonathan Janz Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
Nice little story with a shockingly great twisted ending! Very cool, will look for more by this author and recommend to fans of modern horror.
Fast paced, easy to get sucked in, characters were very interesting and the ending was great. Though I must say I assumed this was an Amish love story 😉
I love horror short stories and this is a great example of the medium done right. The characters were well done, the suspense always lingering just under the surface. This was a fun read.
This is a good little story in the vein Richard Laymon and Ed Lee's backwoods horror-sex romps. Definitely something that fans of the splatterpunk movement will enjoy, but with less splatter than expected.
The story starts off slow, but then the writing picks up and chugs along like a steam engine fuelled by wanton lust and depravity.
Great little story that turns the tummy in the end. You want to feel bad for the main character, but feel he got what he deserves.
This was a good horror short story. Its about a scammer who pretends to be in search of work when he really is in search of valuables to steal. The author does a good job making the characters believable and adding some realism and atmosphere to the story.
I am not sure I fully understood the ending, I would have liked a little more text to describe what was happening and what is going on. But I enjoyed this work and will look for more from this author (actually I have read two other works from this author, one of which I loved and one of which I didn't like).
Old Order by Jonathan Janz is like an episode of Tales from the Crypt with a little more spice. Farmers are easy marks, or so one would think, sitting on untold riches and just toiling the day away. Our protagonist is a criminal who preys on people who trust and don't suspect. But karma has a way of catching up with people.
Janz writes a convincing story of an antiques store owner who gets a lot more than he bargins for. The ending of this story is a horrid surprise and one that will sit with the reader long after the title is put away. I really look forward to a Janz story because I know that it will be fun and well worth the money spent.
Jonathan Janz is a writer to watch. He has a way with words that really involve the reader into the story. This is the second Janz story I have read and it really is a talented author who can write in such a fashion... every time.
