ScienceFiction.com recently reviewed SUFFER THE CHILDREN, coming out May 20, 2014 from Simon & Schuster and Permuted Press, and writes, “This is a gripping tale of horror that hits nerves you didn’t even know that you had … The truly scary moments sneak up on you and it isn’t just the actions the parents do to keep their children alive in the novel but knowing much of it would also happen in the real world that is terrifying.”
Thanks, Stuart!

THE AFTER, a new Amazon original series from Chris Carter, creator of the X-FILES, tells the story of eight strangers thrown together during an inexplicable apocalyptic event. Basically, it’s LOST set during the apocalypse, complete with bizarre coincides (e.g., the strangers all have the same birthday) and numerous seeds planted to create mystery.
The mass chaos in the city streets was nicely done, though none of the characters are particularly compelling, it’s strange how these eight people all end up staying together instead of get to their homes, families or friends, and they could have done without the weird LOST plot seeds.
Those criticisms aside, it’s worth a look, and it’s currently streaming free at Amazon here.

I owe a special thanks to Anna Dorfman, the cover designer for SUFFER THE CHILDREN, my new horror novel coming out from Simon & Schuster/Permuted Press May 20, 2014. It’s all kinds of creepy.
