Infrasonic: An Extreme Horror Novel

A sinister radio transmission sweeps through Sinai, Illinois, twisting its citizens into monsters. The town descends into chaos, and the question looms: Who will survive the nightmare, and who will perish?

From the very first page, this book had its claws in me. The premise was electrifying—wholly original, unpredictable, and unnerving. I had no idea where the story was going, and just when I thought I had it figured out, it twisted again. It kept me guessing, right up to the final, harrowing moments. Because what do you do when you can't put a face to evil?

This book is not for the faint of heart. It's drenched in gore, steeped in body horror, and pulses with an unrelenting sense of dread—exactly the kind of dark, visceral storytelling I crave. And beyond the horror, there's depth. Despite its fast pace, the novel takes the time to develop its characters, making their struggles and fates hit even harder. By the end, my heart ached for Wilbur. I was desperate for his survival. On the other hand, I burned with hatred for Gayle, a character so wretchedly vile that I found myself wishing for her downfall.

Yet, for all its brilliance, there was one crack in its otherwise flawless surface. The ending. It felt rushed—too neat, too cliché for a story that had been so refreshingly unpredictable. This was the single reason I had to shave off a star, leaving my rating at a solid 4 stars instead of 5.

The cover, however, is nothing short of magnificent. The haunting eyes bore into you, setting the perfect tone for the horrors within. Still, given the nature of the story, perhaps ears would have been the more fitting choice... a minor observation, but one I couldn't ignore.

One final detail elevated this book even further in my eyes: the author and publisher's firm stance against A.I. in their creative process. No A.I. in writing, no A.I. in editing, no A.I. in artwork—just pure, raw, human storytelling. It's a rare commitment these days, and one that deserves recognition. Because of this, I'm adding an extra 0.5 stars, bringing my final rating to 4.5 stars.

So if you're hesitant about picking this up, let me be clear: Read it. It's short, it's fast, and it's unforgettable. You might survive this book, but it won't let you go unscathed.
