Apologies for the clickbait headline, but I think it fits here.
Save the Children is an organization dedicated to helping children escaping the Syrian civil war. The group put out two very effective ads that feature the plight of a little girl living a very normal life and then becoming a refugee. The trick is she’s British, bringing the Syrian refugee crisis emotionally closer to home. The result is heart-wrenching.
Here’s the first ad, showing how the little girl becomes a refugee in the UK:
Here’s the second ad, which shows her escaping to a European country:
Very powerful.
The Kindle edition of CHILDREN OF GOD, which I authored with Jonathan Moon, is now available!
For three long years, the Family of God awaited the end of the world in a California desert. In 2008, the cult destroyed itself in mass suicide and final massacre. Plagued by guilt and PTSD, the survivors couldn’t talk about their experience until a psychiatrist treated them with poetry therapy.
Ranging in form from haiku to sonnets, this collection is their stories in verse, expressing hope, love, faith, regret, and pain. In these apocalyptic dreams, the survivors find their voice and finally tell why they joined the cult, what they hoped to achieve, how they failed, and the night of the massacre.
Creepy, emotionally deep, and unsettling, CHILDREN OF GOD is the story of a failed cult told through poetry.

I recently updated CraigDiLouie.com to reflect my changing work as an author. I’ve been branching out into military thrillers and fantasy on top of my usual apocalyptic/horror output, and so a new identity was called for. The blog will now cover a wider variety of topics in addition to all things apocalyptic/horror, such as interesting history and science.
Thanks for reading!
