Description



About the Book



Presents a terrifying tale of apocalyptic fiction, as readers are introduced to Herod's Syndrome, a devastating illness that suddenly and swiftly kills all young children across the globe. Soon, they return from the grave ... and ask for blood. And with blood, they stop being dead. They continue to remain the children they once were.



Book Synopsis



In the vein of Justin Cronin and Guillermo del Toro, this terrifying apocalyptic horror novel imagines a world where every child dies--then returns hungry for blood, forcing their parents to make impossible, devastating choices.

It begins on an ordinary day: children around the world are dying. All children, everywhere--a global crisis beyond any parent's worst nightmare. Then, a miracle beyond imagining: three days later, they return. Shattered mothers and fathers see their sons and daughters happy and whole once more, playing and laughing as before--but only when they feed. They hunger for blood...and they can't get enough upon which to feast. Without it, they die again.

How far would you go to keep someone you love alive?

"A dark masterpiece...chilling, compelling, and convincing." --John Dixon, acclaimed author of Phoenix Island

"I don't believe I have ever been so freaked out by a story. Suffer the Children truly demonstrates in a wicked and frightening way how far a parent will really go for their child. It is honest and hits a chord with anyone who is a parent." --Jackie Druga, acclaimed author of The Flu and Then Came War

"A relentless burn of a novel, a compelling tale of hunger and desperation...[a] tragic apocalypse with a mad thirst for blood." --Jason Bovberg, acclaimed author of Under the Skin and The Naked Dame

"Every parent's worst fear is just the first round of terror in Suffer the Children, a book that grabs you by the throat and won't let you go. Craig DiLouie weaves a remarkable tapestry of raw emotion, loss, and guilt, then soaks it with terror. One horrifying ride." --Stephen Knight, acclaimed author of The Gathering Dead and Earthfall
