Craig DiLouie

Craig DiLouie is an author of adventure, thriller, and horror fiction whose work spans military techno-thrillers, apocalyptic fiction, and horror novels. His novel Suffer the Children, about a virus that reanimates dead children with a horrifying cost for their survival, was a Bram Stoker Award nominee for Best Novel. He is also known for The Infection and Tooth and Nail, zombie-apocalypse novels exploring ordinary people and soldiers under siege, and for One of Us and Our War, which examine mutated and conscripted children caught up in speculative American conflicts. His Slasher Season series returns to more traditional horror territory, and his nonfiction guide How to Make a Horror Movie and Survive pairs his fiction with commentary on the genre. DiLouie's catalog consistently blends grounded, research-driven realism with escalating horror-thriller stakes.
