Description
From an acclaimed horror writer, a chilling tale of blood-hungry children who rise from the dead in this innovative spin on apocalyptic vampire fiction.
Suffer the Childrenpresents 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...but only for a short time, as they need more blood to live. The average human body holds ten pints of blood, so the inevitable question for parents everywhere becomes: How far would you go to bring yourchild back?

Reviews
The Killing Floor is a high-octane, nail-biter of a zombie novel. Psychologically complex and emotionally devastating. Craig DiLouie is one of the new masters of zombie fiction. -- New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Maberry
"A unique and startling vision of Armageddon ... DiLouie takes the nightmare of The Infection and ratchets up the horror to another level. Recommended!" -- David Moody
"A stand-out book in an otherwise glutted genre ... DiLouie carefully recreates our society and our military, populates it with people we want to know, then proceeds to bring the horror, devastation, and heroes we require." -- Fangoria
"This book does for the zombie genre what Black Hawk Down did for modern war journalism, and that is high praise indeed. Tooth and Nail kept me reading all night long, and I think it'll keep you glued to the page as well. This one is a spectacular achievement." -- Joe McKinney
Awards
Short-listed for Bram Stoker Awards (Novel) 2014.
