Craig DiLouie’s standalone novels cover a wide range of horror and speculative fiction. His early work includes Paranoia (2001) and The Great Planet Robbery (2008), a science fiction comedy that’s a departure from his usual tone. Tooth and Nail (2010) drops readers into a military zombie scenario set in New York City. Suffer the Children (2014) has one of his most disturbing premises: every child on Earth dies, only to return with an appetite for human blood.
The later standalones show DiLouie expanding his range. One of Us (2018) is set in an alternate 1980s where children born with mutations are kept in brutal labor camps in the rural South. Our War (2019) imagines a second American civil war seen through the eyes of child soldiers. The Children of Red Peak (2020) follows cult survivors drawn back to the site of a mass suicide. Episode Thirteen (2023) takes the found-footage horror concept and applies it to a paranormal investigation show. How to Make a Horror Movie and Survive (2024) is a meta-horror novel set during a slasher film production.
His most recent work continues the variety. Djinn (2023) draws on Middle Eastern mythology, Hell’s Eden (2025) and Castles in the Sky (2025) push into new territory, and My Ex, The Antichrist (2025) takes a darkly comic approach to supernatural horror. DiLouie rarely writes the same book twice, which makes his standalone catalog one of the more unpredictable in modern horror fiction.
