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!
Around Thanksgiving, LitReactor published a list of 
“36 Creepy Books to Read Before Halloween Is Over,” a list of horror reads at TheOdysseyOnline.com. I found a few I’d like to check out, and was happy to see SUFFER THE CHILDREN on the list.
Fiction-Reviewer.com recently reviewed SUFFER THE CHILDREN and writes, “It’s not often that a book actually haunts me … What I rarely experience from a novel, is the need to put it down. To walk away from the story and clear my mind of images which are bluntly traumatic, and written with such excellence that every sentence slices away a little more of my sanity. In Suffer the Children, Dilouie has crafted a story of not insignificant excellence … This book is searching, and for some may take a brave and concerted effort to finish; but damn, it is worth the effort.”
