Craig DiLouie writes horror, military fiction, and post-apocalyptic thrillers. He got his start with the techno-thriller Paranoia in 2001 and has since built a large catalog that spans zombie outbreaks, alternate history warfare, and dark speculative fiction. His work often puts ordinary people into extreme situations, whether that’s a global pandemic, a World War II battlefield, or a haunted film set.
DiLouie’s military fiction includes the Crash Dive series about a WWII submarine crew in the Pacific, the Armor series following tank crews across the European theater, and The Front series, which blends World War II combat with supernatural horror. On the horror side, The Infection trilogy tracks survivors of a bizarre plague, while The Retreat series depicts a pandemic that turns its victims into something far worse than simply dead.
His standalone novels cover a wide range of premises. Suffer the Children imagines a world where children can only be revived with human blood. One of Us is set in an alternate 1980s where mutant children are kept in work homes. Episode Thirteen follows a paranormal investigation TV crew that finds something real. Whether he’s writing about submarines, zombies, or cursed film productions, DiLouie keeps the tension high and the body count higher.
