THE LIBRARY JOURNAL Calls EPISODE THIRTEEN “Mind-Bending Terror”

January 18, 2023 by Craig DiLouie Leave a Comment

THE LIBRARY JOURNAL recently reviewed EPISODE THIRTEEN coming out January 24, 2023, calling it “gloriously mind-bending terror.”

A snippet:

“The newest from DiLouie follows a found-footage narrative before veering into gloriously mind-bending terror… VERDICT: In this subversion of the classic haunted-house/found-footage story, DiLouie demonstrates his ability to toy with and eventually upend readers’ expectations. What could have been a story full of the typical tropes becomes an unsettling exploration into what lies beyond life, death, and reality itself.”

Check out the complete review here. Thank you for the kind words, LIBRARY JOURNAL!

EPISODE THIRTEEN Now Available for Pre-Order!

June 3, 2022 by Craig DiLouie Leave a Comment

I’m excited to announce today that EPISODE THIRTEEN, my ghost novel coming out from Hachette’s Redhook imprint on January 24, 2023, is now available for pre-order at Barnes and Noble, your local bookstore, and online retailers like Amazon.com.

Fade to Black: Led by husband and wife team Matt and Claire Kirklin, it’s the new hit ghost-hunting reality TV show.

Episode 13 will take their investigative team to the former site of the Paranormal Research Foundation in Virginia. In this brooding, derelict mansion, they hope to use their scientific methods and high-tech gear to crack an infamous haunting while uncovering clues about the bizarre experiments that went on there in the 1970s.

But as Foundation House begins to unravel its mysteries, Matt and Claire discover it wants something in return…

Revealed in broken pieces, in tapes, journals, and correspondence, this is the story of Episode 13—and how an entertaining show about hunting ghosts became a documentary of obsession, madness, and human terror.

I hope you’ll check this one out! It was serious dark fun to write and, I think, it will be a blast for you to experience.

“A beautiful Russian doll of a story… EPISODE THIRTEEN hooks you, creeps you out, and then it overwhelms you. It’s HOUSE OF LEAVES meets HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE, in all the best possible ways.” – Peter Clines, NYT Bestselling Author of THE BROKEN ROOM

My New Deal with Orbit

September 29, 2021 by Craig DiLouie Leave a Comment

I could not be happier today to announce I have signed a deal with Orbit, the speculative fiction imprint of Hachette Book Group, to publish my next horror novel, tentatively titled, EPISODE 13. This is my fourth novel with Hachette, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to work again with my awesome editor and such a great brand.

No details yet on publication date yet, but it will be available pretty much everywhere, bookstores and so on. Here’s the (rough) synopsis below. My editor loves found footage movies, so he grooved on me pitching him an epistolary novel. Can’t wait for all y’all to read this one. Stay tuned for more soon!

FADE TO BLACK … Led by husband and wife team Matt and Claire Kirklin, it’s the new hit ghost-hunting reality TV show.

Episode 13 will take them to their holy grail, the former home of the Paranormal Research Foundation. In this crumbling, derelict mansion, they hope to investigate a haunting while uncovering clues about the bizarre experiments that took place there in the 1970s.

Using scientific techniques and high-tech gear, their search for the supernatural will turn up far more than they imagined—a dark secret that will change their understanding of the very nature of reality.

Told in tapes, journals, correspondence, and files, this is the story of Episode 13.
