My Deal With Simon & Schuster

March 14, 2013 by Craig DiLouie 3 Comments

I am proud to announce today that I have signed a deal with Simon & Schuster for publication of my new horror novel, SUFFER THE CHILDREN.

Here’s the synopsis:

SO MANY MOUTHS TO FEED.

One day, everywhere around the world, the children die.

Three days later, they return from the grave.

And ask for blood.

With blood, they stop being dead. They stop rotting. They laugh and play. They become the children they once were.

But only for a short time. An hour, maybe two. Too soon, they die again.

And need more blood to live …

The average body holds ten pints of blood.

How far would you go to bring your child back?

The novel explores the idea that love can make people monsters. It’s not so much an emotional roller coaster as an emotional vise that keeps squeezing.

The novel will be published as part of Simon & Schuster’s co-publishing deal with Permuted Press, a company I’m obviously already familiar with. The deal was agented by The Agency Group.

No firm publication date yet, but I’m hoping by the end of the fall. However, it could be 2014. I hope to have more information soon.

Thanks for supporting my work! That support made this deal possible!

    Congratulation! Was the advance big enough to buy a jet?
