Craig DiLouie

Craig DiLouie is an author of popular thriller, apocalyptic/horror, and sci-fi/fantasy fiction.

In hundreds of reviews, Craig’s novels have been praised for their strong characters, action, and gritty realism. Each book promises an exciting experience with people you’ll care about in a world that feels real.

These works have been nominated for major literary awards such as the Bram Stoker Award and Audie Award, translated into multiple languages, and optioned for film.

DiLouie's new novel is Our War.

Recently I asked the author about what he was reading. DiLouie's reply:
Right now, I’m nearly finished with Grady Hendrix’s very solid We Sold Our Souls, a clever horror tale about a metal band destroyed after one of its members makes a deal with the Devil. It’s a lot of fun and far exceeding my expectations. Hendrix did his homework to capture the daily life of a rock band, weaving a rich tapestry of references and details, while never taking his eye off character, particularly retired guitarist Kris Pulaski, the tough and likeable protagonist. The horror element is also very well done, insidious and mythic and occasionally bursting onto the page.
