DJINN Now Available!
I am excited to announce that DJINN, my supernatural military thriller, is now available as an eBook (Amazon Kindle) and trade paperback, with the audiobook version coming soon. This novel reimagines the witch for the War on Terror era, taking the reader on a journey into the heart of darkness that is both human and supernatural.
Here’s the synopsis:
In the violent aftermath of the American withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, a photojournalist arrives to learn the fate of the Witch Doctors, a fabled Army occult warfare unit. Holly believes her father, reported missing in action, ran this mysterious outfit that sought to weaponize black magic to win the War on Terror.
As the Taliban advances and the national government crumbles, Holly makes a harrowing journey into the deep desert to an abandoned base, which houses a terrifying secret. There, along with a group of American ex-soldiers, themselves cursed, she will face the ancient evil the Witch Doctors unleashed…
The terrors that live in the world of the djinn. The horrors that lurk in war itself.
You can get it here. I hope you’ll check it out. Thank you for reading!
Kindle Monthly Deal: THE CHILDREN OF RED PEAK
I’m happy to announce today that THE CHILDREN OF RED PEAK is available during the month of June as a Kindle Monthly Deal. You can get the eBook for just $2.99.
David Young, Deacon Price, and Beth Harris live with a dark secret. As children, they survived a religious group’s horrific last days at the isolated mountain Red Peak. Years later, the trauma of what they experienced never feels far behind.
When a fellow survivor commits suicide, they finally reunite and share their stories. Long-repressed memories surface, defying understanding and belief. Why did their families go down such a dark road? What really happened on that final night?
The answers lie buried at Red Peak. But truth has a price, and escaping a second time may demand the ultimate sacrifice.
“With this chilling story of cult abuse, DiLouie proves his mastery of the slow slide from psychological drama into supernatural horror… An impressive twist…feels both shocking and inevitable. Horror readers will be hooked.” —PUBLISHER’S WEEKLY
Get it here. Thanks for reading!
THE CHILDREN OF RED PEAK Recognized by HWA
I am happy to announce THE CHILDREN OF RED PEAK has joined the Horror Writers Association’s Mental Health Initiative list of Notable Works.
This list identifies horror fiction that destigmatizes portrayals of mental illness in horror, promotes understanding, and even offers solace. After a review process involving five sensitivity readers and a nominating review by HWA member Sheri White, the novel was accepted.
THE CHILDREN OF RED PEAK is a novel of cosmic and psychological horror. It tells the story of several people who grew up in an apocalyptic cult and now, years later, struggle with being the sole survivors of a nightmare. Struggling with their lives, they decide to return to Red Peak, where their families died, to find closure and learn if the apparition they saw on the last night was real.
Thank you for HWA for recognizing this novel and for the kind review.
SUFFER THE CHILDREN Optioned for TV
I’m proud today to announce my horror novel SUFFER THE CHILDREN has been optioned by Perro Azul for potential adaptation for Netflix, Vix, or another venue.
Perro Azul is a Mexican production house with a solid track record developing Spanish-language TV series and movies. Their work ranges from zombie series to cop dramas to political dark comedies.
Published in 2014 by Gallery Books, SUFFER THE CHILDREN is about a disease that kills the world’s children only to bring them back requiring blood to stay alive a little while longer. The kids are vampires, but the true monsters may be the parents who will do anything to keep their children alive. As the blood supply wanes, their only source may be each other…
This book has been optioned before but failed the funding test due to its grimdark material. I’m hoping this time will be different and this story will finally be brought to life on a screen. Fingers crossed!
THE RETREAT Audiobook Omnibus Now Available
Get it while it’s hot! And by “hot” I mean on fire, emitting screams, and surrounded by laughing, machete-wielding maniacs. The Retreat, the apocalyptic military fiction series by me, Stephen Knight, and Joe McKinney, is now available as an audiobook omnibus narrated by the great R.C. Bray.
The world would die laughing….
When a new disease turns people into sadistic, laughing killers, a light infantry battalion fights to maintain order in Boston. As infection spreads, the Army loses control, and the soldiers find themselves fighting the people they once swore to protect.
As the country slides into violent collapse, the lost battalion learns the last bastion of the federal government is still holding out in Florida. Harry Lee, its commander, decides the only hope is to lead the survivors there.
But first, they must cross more than a thousand miles of an apocalyptic America, hunted by a savage and merciless enemy.
Inspired by The Anabasis and written by a team of best-selling zombie authors, The Retreat: The Complete Series for the first time brings together all six volumes, chronicling a horrific vision of the apocalypse and a brutal depiction of courage in the face of impossible odds.
This omnibus includes the following works:
The Retreat: Pandemic
The Retreat: Slaughterhouse
The Retreat: Die Laughing
The Retreat: Alamo
The Retreat: Crucible
The Retreat: Forlorn Hope
I was very happy to contribute Pandemic and Alamo and have a chance to work with these great authors.
