Suffer the Children

Craig DiLouie

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

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 Children presents 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 your child back?

    Wooooooooooooooow.

    This is one hell of a read.

    Suffer the Children is essentially about a world where every single child gets sick, dies, and then gets reborn as a monster. Vampire children? Yep, count me in. It's a story about parenthood, relationships, desperation, grief, guilt, and corruption.

    It follow multiple different POVs throughout.

    I loved it. My first book by this author, but safe to say I'll be trying more.

    Also if you're a friend from my real life reading this review, I really don't think any of you would like this book. <3
