It’s not every day I find an author whose books are rivetting and keep me turning the pages. As an old hand at reading horror (picked up my first adult horror novel at ten years of age and I still remember the red eyes of a werewolf in the bushes right before the kill), I was pleasantly surprised to encounter Scott Sigler’s work.

The book I read was Contagious and I just couldn’t put it down.

The Contagious video is the sequel to Infected and well-worth the reading. Language? Well, yes, it’s bad and inappropriate. However, when you’re facing the end of the world, there’s bound to be a few who’ll let the rules go.

Here’s some info from the web site:

Across America, a mysterious pathogen transforms ordinary people into raging killers, psychopaths driven by a terrifying, alien agenda. The human race fights back, yet after every battle the disease responds, adapts, using sophisticated strategies and brilliant ruses to fool its pursuers. The only possible explanation: the epidemic is driven not by evolution but by some malevolent intelligence.

What’s more, Sigler has some of his books for free as audio podcasts. He’s kind enough to tell us all how to subscribe:

Get Infected…

SUBSCRIBE WITH ITUNES:
This is the easiest way to get your dose of Siglerism. You can have the audio stories delievered right to your iTunes, just click on the iTunes button at left and you’re in. You’ll get all audio, video and PDF, but you will not get the text-only blog posts — for that, either subscribe with RSS, email or come back to this site regularly. If you don’t have iTunes, click here to get it for free.

GET EMAILS OF EVERY PODCAST EPISODE AND BLOG POST:
Regular old email works just fine. Click on the email link at left, fill out the form, and every time I post a new blog or podcast entry you’ll get an email that includes links to play the audio or video.

SUBSCRIBE WITH RSS:
All you tech-savvy blog readers can simply subscribe by clicking the RSS icon at right. Y’all know the drill, now take care of bid-ness.

I highly recommend Sigler’s books, Infected and Contagious! Visit his web site!

Disclosure: This is NOT a paid endorsement or anything. I really do like his stuff. I am not infected with little black triangles. Scott Sigler uses “bad” words in his books, blog, etc. so if you can’t handle that, don’t go there.
