Publisher Description

WELCOME TO SAFE HAVEN, POPULATION 907...

Nestled in the woods of Wisconsin, Safe Haven is miles from everything. With one road in and out, this is a town so peaceful it has never needed a full-time police force. Until now...

A helicopter has crashed on the outskirts of town and something terrible has been unleashed. A classified secret weapon programmed to kill anything that stands in its way. Now it's headed for the nearest lights to do what it does best. Isolate. Terrorize. Annihilate.

Soon all phone lines are dead and the road is blocked. Safe Haven's only chance for survival rests on the shoulders of an aging county sheriff. And as the body count rises, the sheriff realizes something even more terrifying—maybe death hasn't come to his little town by accident...

WELCOME TO SAFE HAVEN, POPULATION 907... 906... 905...

"Not a bad book. This is my first full length book by the author. It was a bit gory but the storyline was interesting enough where I wanted to complete it. I wish the the ending had more of a resolution. I felt cheated. I wanted the huge media event. Good read. Gory. Violent. Not scary. Has not kept me awake at all."

    " Deliciously creepy and bloody. Wierd premise of mind control. Some people would think it too violent and gory. I liked it. "

    " Afraid is a fast moving electrical storm in Summer. Jack Kilborn takes his readers on a bullet train ride through the sleepy town of Safe Haven as a 30 year secret threatens to be exposed. If you enjoy fast paced, tension packed stories, then jump on the train and hunker down. This ride is going to get bumpy. "

    " This was one of those hard to find page-turning thrillers that I didn't want to see end. Some terrific villains and a shadowy plot made the wanton bloodshed a pleasure to be around. "

    " Pretty intense book. I was turned onto this author after reading his free ebook called Serial by Jack Kilborn and Blake Crouch. The free download included the beginning of Afraid and I was hooked. It had some pretty gross scenes and the storyline kept me intrigued the entire time. "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " It's like one of those trashy horror movies where everything and everybody is a cliche, you know just what's going to happen and yet you still jump at all the scary parts. It wouldn't win any literary prizes but it is a fun page turner. And it has a monkey doing the Macarena "

    " This book reads like a gory horror movie. But I am fan of physiological horror -What Lies Beneath- not gore fests -Hostel-. So if you like it cruel and gruesome your going to love this book. Just not my style of horror. "

It was a engrossing, fast-paced, extremely gory, sad, well-written, frightening, horrific (yet somehow plausible) read that had me laughing out loud at the end.[return]Buy it. Read it.
