Stewartville. A town living in the shadow of the prisons that drive its economy. Haunted by the ghosts of its past. Cursed by the dark secrets hidden beneath. A town so entwined with the prisons waiting outside the city limits that it’s impossible to imagine one without the other, or to ever imagine escaping either.

When a teenage boy digs into the history of the town, he discovers a tunnel system beneath Stewartville, passageways filled with dark secrets. Secrets leading not to freedom, but to unrelenting terror.

Stewartville. Where the convicts aren’t the only prisoners.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant storytelling!
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2022
I am not a huge horror or suspense fan, but have been trying to expand my mind lately and read some things outside my comfort zone. And let me tell you - I am SO happy I picked this book!! It has all the elements of great thriller - fantastically vivid characters and setting, suspense, and that bit of unhinged madness that makes for a killer horror story.

From the opening page, I was committed to the main character, Casey, who narrates this shocking tale. Born in a town surrounded by prisons, a gloom pervades over Casey’s life. Drugs and violence are rampant in the streets, and everyone is on their way to one of the prisons - either as a guard, or an inmate. But when things take a horrific turn, Casey may be the only one who can see what is happening to his already broken town. In the scant 158 pages of this book, the author plops you down right in the middle of Stewartville, and expertly weaves the reader through the fast paced, mind-boggling events that had me gasping in shock more than once! The townspeople jump off the page, the smells and tastes of desperation are visceral, and the suspense is palpable.

I can not say enough how much I enjoyed this book!! I would recommend The Prisoners of Stewartville to the dedicated horror/thriller fans, as well as anyone who may be looking to expand their genre horizons.

One of my highly anticipated books of 2020 has arrived, The Prisoners of Stewartville, has finally arrived. Shannon’s story in the anthology Midnight in a graveyard served as proof she has talent, and her debut novella cements that.

Felton tells the story of a young resident of Stewartville, who along with his friend, stumble upon an underground tunnel system. Something is afoot in Stewartville, can anybody escape?

The town of Stewartville is just as important as any character in the book. This is a story of desolation, despair, struggling to find your way in a dying town where most are trapped, unable to leave. You end up a prisoner to the town itself, even if you manage to avoid jail.

Felton does an extremely good job showing just how bad Stewartville is. It was easy for me to imagine the residents growing up, knowing that they were destined to end up on drugs, locked up in prison. The lucky ones do well enough to end up correction officers rather than prisoners. Its a very bleak situation, and one that Felton writes expertly.

The Prisoners of Stewartville is a top notch release from a publisher who puts out nothing but top notch releases. Check this one out, and give me more from Shannon Felton ASAP

5.0 out of 5 stars Deadly, edgy, and dark horror...
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2022
The Prisoners of Stewartville by Shannon Felton is the new Sandra Brown and Heather Graham. Her writing style is similar to those favorite writers of mine. I found her words easy to get lost within as the continued. I found myself feeling the dark edgy cloud hang over me. The emotional rollercoaster ride of fear mixed with intrigue was stunning. The realities of what is written hit really hard with me. As that most of the stuff has happened in reality. This journey was a haunting reminder of what once was and what is now happening. Creepy and heartbreaking this story was well-written. I look forward to reading more by this talented debut novelist. The scenery and imaging are so vivid it's insane! I felt instantly transported from my chair to the sad town of Stewartville. The horror found in the beginning only grows worse as the pages are turned. This is wonderful if one is into dark horror novels. Overall, I highly recommend this book to all readers.

I received this copy from the publisher. This is my voluntary review.

4.0 out of 5 stars Desperate Actions in a Desperate Place
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2021
In reviewing books, we often talk about plots and characters but what we really have to talk about here is setting. Stewartville is a place that, as the author says: "People moved [there] for three reasons and three reasons only: they worked for the prisons, they had family in the prisons, or they were in prison." The whole small town is one screwed-up hellhole of drugs, sex, and desperation. There's no light at the end of this tunnel. There's only the slow oblivion of waiting for the day your own despair drives you to become one of those haggard residents in the striped jumpsuits.

Our unnamed narrator (well, named once, briefly, in the last few pages of the book) is a seventeen year old kid, and when he and his friend Denny discover a tunnel behind the wall of Denny's basement, they unleash a creeping terror on the already traumatized citizens of Stewartville. One by one people fall prey to this evil, doing terrible things to each other and themselves.

The story itself was pretty darn good. I read the whole 140 pages in one sitting. The thing which I think kept it from being great for me was a lack of being able to relate to it. A whole town full of people who are constantly smoking or getting high or drunk or paying for underage sex, and who spew a ridiculous amount of profanity...that's not my people. But that's a personal thing. I think there will be many people who can relate very much to these characters and this kind of behavior.

So, all in all, a good one. A story with supernatural elements but really at its core, a story about the dark parts of our souls and the things people do to themselves and each other in the name of easing the pain.

I have to admit, I was surprised this is a debut novel. Shannon Felton did an amazing job of bringing bother Stewartville and its residents to life. Not to mention an awesome and original plot.
I would definitely recommend this short, creepy book to anyone who enjoys small town horror stories. I will also be keeping an eye out for other Shannon Felton books in the future.
