Bird Box – Fun and Frightening

Hi Friends. The smart phone release I’ve been talking about in previous posts is inching closer to an official release date. Might be as soon as next month. Check back for updates. Once I’m certain the date is set, I’ll give more details here and on the Facebook page. In a nutshell…my next story isn’t for your eyes, but for your ears, with professionally produced sound effects and original music. I’m excited to tell you more in the very near future.

Until then, here’s a book you might like.

I remember making a mental note about Bird Box after the initial announcement of its sale to Harper Collins at auction. This one just sounded interesting. A world where looking outside makes you go insane? How wonderfully frightening and weird!

The novel was released earlier this year to good reviews and with news about a movie deal. I put it on my Kindle…and then promptly lost track of it amidst my bloated and bulging to-be-read pile.

Last month I saw that the Bird Box screenplay made The Black List, an annual Hollywood compilation of not-yet-produced screenplays that producers really love. Seeing it there reminded me that I hadn’t read the book yet. I started and finished it on the same day. Don’t you love that?

Bird Box is a clever, fun horror novel I recommend to people who liked Wool or Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. Post-apocalyptic, mysterious, unique, very original, suspenseful, and well-written. If you like horror novels, download the sample on this one. $1.99 for Kindle right now.
