Immune: Rise of the Inflicted
In Seth Voorhees' post-apocalyptic science fiction novel, Rise of the Inflicted, readers will be taken on an amazing ride in this dystopian thriller and see a new world develop after a deadly disease infects the population right before their eyes.
“Seth Voorhees navigates the intricate, contradictory world of human morality just as easily as he takes on the pandemic narrative. With a wide cast of characters from all walks of life and all sides of the story, this is a book for all lovers of science fiction and thriller.”
—A.L. Mundt, author of the Messengers trilogy
Helen Olsen, with the help of Mother Nature, guides the path of reconstruction after an apocalypse takes hold of the world’s population.
After a deadly virus infects the global population, it throws all of the world’s inhabitants into two the inflicted and the immune. Wyatt Tuck, a member of the immune, finds himself inside a nightmarish onslaught of deadly feuds and riots. Losing his home and family brings him into the paths of other immune—his niece Layla, Easton, and coworker Mitch Burkly—and the opposing inflicted, such as Helen Olsen.
When Helen and Tamera meet the Tucks and Mitch at Camp Belt, they will make a shocking discovery. At Camp Belt, an internment camp for the immune, Helen is promoted to Commander. She makes a shocking discovery about the two warring social classes and must rise to action. Will she choose to battle the rising forces created from the charred ash of the world’s dead society? Or does she dare hope to unite a darkened world so it can rise again into the light?

What begins with a predictable premise then proceeds into a thrilling roller coaster ride. This is a book with several plots and subplots rolled into one. A very visual tale; while reading it I had glimpses of The Walking Dead, Handmaid's tale, even Hunger Games. All in all, a fun read. Recommended!

THE REVIEW
Instantly, I was drawn to the rich characters and haunting world-building. In the wake of Stranger Things' incredible finale and the need to fill the void it left behind, this story does an excellent job of capturing the dynamics that bring these young people together to face an overwhelming and terrifying force. The atmospheric nature of the evil these kids face, Leopold, and the way this small town became a character in its own right made the story feel vibrant and alive on the page, even in its deadliest and most haunting moments.
The relationships between the core cast of characters and the rich mythos the author builds for this small rural town, and Leopold was the true heart of the novel. The way these characters came together after facing a life on the fringes and found not only a bond but also a will to face unimaginable horror and stop a centuries-long horror that preyed upon their town was both enthralling and heartfelt, allowing readers to bond with these characters throughout the novel. The use of history and experimentation also gave the reader a chance to see how these kids' minds worked and how far they would go to protect the town, its people, and each other.
The Verdict
Haunting, compelling, and entertaining, author Seth Vorhees's "The Interim" is a must-read horror novel. The vibe and atmosphere of the novel, a Stephen King's IT meets Stranger Things meets 30 Days of Night, will send chills down the reader's spine, and each twist and turn of the story will have the reader on the edge of their seat, waiting for the next shoe to drop. If you haven't yet, be sure to grab your copy today!
