With nothing but the clothes on his back--and something horrific snapping at his heels--Jack Winter fled his rural Georgia home when he was still just a boy. Watching the world he knew vanish in a trucker's rearview mirror, he thought he was leaving an unspeakable nightmare behind forever. But years later, the bright new future he's built suddenly turns pitch black, as something fiendishly familiar looms dead ahead.
When Jack, his wife Aimee, and their two small children survive a violent car crash, it seems like a miracle. But Jack knows what he saw on the road that night, and it wasn't divine intervention. The profound evil from his past won't let them die...at least not quickly. It's back, and it's hungry; ready to make Jack pay for running, to work its malignant magic on his angelic youngest daughter, and to whisper a chilling promise: I've always been here, and I'll never leave.
Country comfort is no match for spine-tingling Southern gothic suspense in Ania Ahlborn's tale of an ordinary man with a demon on his back. Seed plants its page-turning terror deep in your soul, and lets it grow wild.
Why did I add Seed to my bookshelf?
I added this book to my digital library in 2011 when I downloaded every freebie I could find. This was one of those freebies. I have since read two books by Ania Ahlborn and enjoy her writing. If you like horror and have not read Brother by Ania Ahlborn yet, do yourself a favor and get your hands on a copy as soon as possible. It looks like most of my Goodreads friends had some luck with this book so I think it is probably worth a try.
What are your thoughts? Have you read this book? Would you recommend it?
That’s a new to me one! I don’t think I’ve heard of this author but I love a good creepy read! I might have to remember this for the next time I want something spooky! Hope you get to read this one soon!
This one is new to me. I think it’s a plus that you have read and enjoyed other books by the author. Hope you enjoy this one too.
I’ve been intrigued by Southern Gothics when I read a few, but phew, a demon horror on his tail would get chilling. Sounds like a gem of a freebie for you.
I have never heard of it, but it sounds pretty good
I haven’t tried this author before. I hope you enjoy Seed when you read it, Carole. It sounds like it will be creepy!
This looks so creepy! I think it sounds too dark for me but I hope you love it when you get to it.
