Here’s some of the pre-release praise for AFRAID.

“AFRAID is a masterpiece of unrelenting horror. And I’m not exaggerating. Masterpiece. It’s the best piece of fiction I’ve read in several years. It simply NEVER lets up.”
— James Rollins, NYT bestselling author of Black Order and The Judas Strain

“AFRAID stands shoulder to shoulder with the very best of Harris, Koontz, and King. A classic horror novel.”
— Blake Crouch, author of Abandon

“The moment I heard about this book, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it.”
— David Morrell, NYT bestselling author of Creepers and First Blood

“AFRAID is one of the most intense books I’ve ever read. This one takes no prisoners.”
— Marcus Sakey, author of Good People

“An absolutely relentless nightmare, with some of the most deliciously nasty villains I’ve ever encountered in a book. Horror fans will be wiping blood out of their eyes with glee.”
— Jeff Strand, author of Pressure
