David Moody, author of horror classics HATER and AUTUMN, calls THE INFECTION, new from Permuted Press, “not just another zombie story … DiLouie takes everything you know and love about the world and turns it into something else entirely. Unflinching horror and surreal, almost dream-like imagery combine to make THE INFECTION a disturbing, nightmarish read.”
“Warning” by Incubus
Oh man, this is totally creepy. Great song, too.
Excerpt: THE INFECTION
“A figure appeared under the streetlight at the end of the alley, a small silhouette. Paul squinted at it for a few moments, unsure it was even a person until he realized it was growing larger. Moving towards him. It passed a light fixture mounted on a neighbor’s garage and Paul caught a glimpse of its terrible face.”
The GORE Score Reviews THE INFECTION

Score” gives THE INFECTION, my apocalyptic horror novel coming out from Permuted Press on February 28, a score of 8 out of 10: “28 DAYS LATER meets THE MIST … action-packed zombie mayhem that you won’t want to put down … a definite page turner right from the get-go all the way to the insanely intense final scene.”

Excerpt: THE INFECTION
“They are refugees forced from everything they consider home, searching for a safe place. They have become nomads, living on whatever they can find. But mostly they are survivors. They are good at surviving because they are on the road and they are still alive. They have done the things one had to do to survive. They have all killed or they would not be here.”
Critical Elements For A Religiously Themed Apocalyptic Movie
Critical elements of a religiously themed apocalyptic movie or book: 1) God/Satan easily thwarted by automatic weaponry, 2) action hero who remains agnostic even with direct evidence of God’s existence, and who intentionally thwarts God’s Plan for the Final Judgment, 3) sadistic, bloodthirsty God who nonetheless everybody loves, 4) annoying woman impregnated with a child that is inexplicably “mankind’s only hope.”
