"With THE INFECTION, Craig DiLouie takes readers on a wild ride into the darkest regions of zombie territory. Brilliant and terrifying!"

- New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Maberry, author of ROT & RUIN and PATIENT ZERO

"Not just another zombie story ... DiLouie takes everything you know and love about the world and turns it into something else entirely. Unflinching horror and surreal, almost dream-like imagery combine to make THE INFECTION a disturbing, nightmarish read."

- David Moody, author of HATER and AUTUMN

"What makes THE INFECTION worth reading? Why is it just a bit more disturbing than other horrific tales of the end of days? The book’s closed. How come I can’t shake it? DiLouie’s story has a few tricks up its sleeve, making it 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."

"THE INFECTION by Craig DiLouie is one of the best novels I have read in a long time ... This is great writing-relentless and unflinching ... If I had to sum up the book in three words it would simply read: 'Oh my God!' It is that rare novel ... that 'happens to you.' You are not merely a reader but a victim of the Hell it portrays. It leaves you numb from the assault. I highly recommend this book to anyone. I read a book or two a week and still will probably never forget this one. It is that damn good!"

- Tony Schaab, TheGOREScore.com, full review here

"THE INFECTION is a page-turner of the highest order... one of the most emotional, unsettling, and satisfying takes on the zompocalyse yet to see print ... I'm hereby citing DiLouie as a must-read author. Here's hoping for an extremely short wait to his next published offering."

"Craig DiLouie does zombies and the apocalypse very well. His descriptions are so vivid and his characters so true-to-life that I'm starting to wonder if he's actually a time-traveler from a broken future where mutated and violent monsters stalk the land … It is simply one of the best toppling of society stories you'll ever read … a cross-genre masterpiece that doesn't let go."

"From the very first chapter of this post-apocalyptic novel, I was drawn into this story of not just horror, but of sacrifice ... This book proves that just because it's 'indie' horror doesn't mean it couldn't stand alongside the greats. The book is simply stunning."

"Having just reviewed TOOTH AND NAIL--a great book from DiLouie--I was expecting another action-packed gore-fest along with lots of deep characters. I wasn’t disappointed because that’s exactly what I found in THE INFECTION: action, gore, and well-developed, interesting cast ... Read this one--you won’t be disappointed."

"Gives the reader something very exciting and different. The storyline moves incredibly fast and is beyond the regular apocalyptic novel. It offers the reader many new horrors and the scenes with the infected are particularly terrifying ... I would recommend this novel to any reader."

"DiLouie is an excellent storyteller who knows how to craft an artfully gritty and horrific undead scenario ... a scenario that is both impressive in scope, and a frighteningly nightmarish twisting of the zombie formula."

"This is an excellent book of the apocalypse, creative and wild from the start; from how the infection occurs to the results it yields, and the characters that inhabit its pages are just about as compelling as any I have ever seen."

- Patrick D'Orazio, author of COMES THE DARK, full review here

"In THE INFECTION, Craig DiLouie takes the played-out zombie genre and turns it into an entertaining and exciting story ... grabbed me from the first chapter and never let go. THE INFECTION rises well above other books in the zombie genre."

"A brilliant zombie novel ... a great fix for any zombie lover who wants an all-out apocalyptic tale with hardened and scared survivors. One of the best zombie books I've read."

-THE FRINGE Magazine, full review here

"A good read ... DiLouie raises the action and strangeness up by levels over the course of the book, in convincing strongly written prose. He goes from moments of stillness and calm to breakneck madness at the drop of a hat."

"Fans of the genre will love this, it’s everything the recent TV show THE WALKING DEAD aspires to be. Throw in a couple of RESIDENT EVIL type monsters and the heart of 28 DAYS LATERand you have all the best elements of a zombie story in one place."

- Ric's Reviews, full review here

"A brilliantly written and exceptional tale, not only of the world coming to an abrupt bitch-slap of a halt, but the characters themselves and how they got to be where they are and continue to grow as survivors ... Those interested in your own apocalyptic preparation could use this book as a manual for preparing the mind for survival. Pick it up. You'll be glad you did."

"An excellent novel ... Lots of action here to keep horror readers enthralled. Pick this one from Permuted Press and step into a survivalist world... a story that puts you against the Infection."

"Intense and graphic, with some surprise moments of humor and tragedy. The gory bits were quite original, without gratuity or being overdone. He handled character death with sensitivity, and gave the readers some comfort that these characters didn't die in vain. This is a completely engrossing read."
