I've typed like 5 different reviews for this book and each time I ended up deleting everything I wrote because it wasn't quite right, so what you'll get is probably the worst version imaginable.

It's religious horror that isn't anti-faith but also not pro-church. It's a quick read with a fairly compelling character dealing with some really dark stuff. The religious imagery was pretty good and it got really, really, uncomfortable at some points.

Content warning for a secondary character using racist language.

Fire and brimstone. This subject may be the most horror-inducing out there. Especially when eternal damnation is hung over a child’s head as a form of behavior modification. Prey Without Ceasing is a 100-page novella with themes related to spiritual abuse. The story combines horror elements to serve as a giant metaphor for the anxiety and responsibility related to the impossible standards set for young minds. It’s a lazy kind of teaching to use shame and guilt as a guiding light, but there are religious leaders highly skilled in the art. I know this on an intimate level. I swear this book feels like it was written for me, like Andrew Franks and I grew up together in the same Bible-belt Pentecostal church back in the day. This is exactly why books like this are so important… the reader is reminded that they are not alone.

Please note, based on my reading perspective this novella does not condone bitterness towards the church or the reverse expectation of perfection. It simply showcases how destructive it can be when one is placed under the religious leadership of the wrong person. In a community that is hypervigilant about what is being taught in schools, I pray they use the same energy to monitor their own house of worship. In this book, the reader sees the bad but there is also good. There is a perfect scene featuring our young main character and the children’s pastor which gives the reader hope that safety exists. Thank you, Andrew, for writing this story and being brave enough to share it with the world. Excellent book!

As a horror fan, I went into this thinking it had a haunted church, a witch and demons, so, this is gonna be scary! But, after reading it, I don't see it the same way. While there were creepy parts, as a horror book, I'd give this 3⭐️. But, like I said, I don't think that's really what this story is about.

Dalton is the son of a preacher that seems to have a hard time fitting in and finding his way in this world. Between kids and teachers at school treating him differently because of who his father is and how he is actually treated by his father, it is no wonder that he is confused about who he is truly meant to be. He's placed, with his little brother, in this protective religious bubble with everyone trying to tell him what is bad without truly explaining why (except for equating all things bad with the devil, going to hell and becoming a demon). All of this in ingrained so deeply into his brother and himself that they feel they need to pray away everything "bad" they do, including making a mess.

Between being sheltered in this religious bubble and approaching puberty, with all of its hormones and curiosities, Dalton has terrible nightmares that leave the reader thinking, did any of those nightmares actually affect the real world around him?

In the end, through conquering all of his nightmares, Dalton finds his true self, saving himself and his brother in the process. And despite all of the pain, torment and haunting images, he also finds his true relationship with God and religion.

So, as I said, while there were some creepy aspects of this novella, I feel that the real story was Dalton figuring out who he was in relationship to the world, his family and the spiritual world. And for accomplishing that, I give this book 4⭐️.

It's been a couple of days since I finished reading this book. I've been trying to gather my thoughts, you know, maybe say something profound ;) This book has definitely stuck with me. I've thought about it often. Unlike Andrews previous stories, this one hits a lot different. Why? Because this is a true story. I finished reading and said to my husband, it's like a memoir in horror form.

I couldn't put this book down. Read it in one sitting and was disappointed when it was over. You can't help but feel pulled into the story. I know I sure was.

Thanks so much Andrew for sending me a gifted copy! I can not wait to read what you write next.

I became friends with Andrew Franks on TikTok before I realized he was an author, because I enjoyed his taste and his content. When he reached out offering a code to the audiobook for Prey Without Ceasing, I was both excited and nervous. I tend to shy away from reading books written by people I’ve developed any kind of relationship with, because I try to be as (kindly) honest as I can be about every book I read, and this has cost me relationships in the past. But the synopsis of this book called to me so strongly that I accepted his offer and also purchased the Kindle book so I could tandem read and make notes. I made the right decision. This was definitely a book worth reading, and I related to portions of it so deeply that it was painful.

While I never experienced quite the spiritual turmoil (internal or external) that Dalton underwent in this story, I related to his struggles and doubts and attempts to live out his shaky faith on a profound level. I am incredibly fortunate in that my family was always wonderfully supportive. I was never yelled at or struck or judged and found lacking. My home, and my church, was always a safe space. But the internal struggles and questions Dalton was wrestling with? I’ve been there. I’ve felt that same guilty confusion as I tried to work out my own faith, live it out to the best of my ability, and deal with the stomach-churning disappointment that came anytime I fell short.

I am so, so incredibly thankful that I didn’t have the dad Dalton did. Pastor Gary was horrible. He’s the epitome of the legalistic, judgmental, hypocritical Christian that drives so many away from the faith. The minute things he chose to harp on, like light profanity in movies for example, don’t matter even the tiniest bit in the scheme of things. And yet Gary placed so much weight on these unimportant things that it threatened to crush the faith of his (very faithful) son. If I could’ve reached through the pages of this book and smacked him, I totally would have.

“I’ve seen a lot of kids grow up and walk away from God because of the way they were treated at church. They walked away because of the reckless way faith was presented to them.”

I loved the symbolism in Dalton’s nighttime visit to the church, how it looked rundown and decaying and infested by things that kept to the shadows. However, it still wasn’t without its beauty. Dalton’s “dark night of the soul” was tense, but the horror elements were a bit lighter (and more heavily symbolic) than I would’ve expected. I was reminded a bit of The Visitation and House, books that I loved as a teen.

Kellen Boyle did an absolutely fantastic job narrating the audiobook. He captured the feeling of living in the Bible Belt in the American South. His slight drawl was perfect for this story. Reading this was very nostalgic, as it reminded me of the Christian horror novels I loved so much in my youth, from authors like Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti. And, similar to those authors, there were times when the spiritual symbolism and message felt just a tad heavy-handed; it could have used as touch more finesse in the writing, but so could the books I loved from Dekker and Peretti and they were very effective. I also thought that it felt a tiny bit rushed, though I often feel that way about novellas.

I really enjoyed Prey Without Ceasing, and felt somehow seen by it. It was quick but still deeply thoughtful, and it brought me back to the time when my faith was young and sometimes shaky. Franks did a great job with it, and the audio version was superb. This is a book that I’ll be pressing into the hands of my cousins and others who have had a similar Christian experience, though I think that even those who don’t share that faith will find it fascinating.

I bought this book after the author talked about it one time on his TikTok. When he talked about the premise, I was like, "Ok, I need a good scare," and bought the ebook.

I couldn't put this book down! This book hit different. Like The Exorcist, this book really brings in the fear. I don't know if it's because I'm Catholic, but when a book focuses around religion, it brings in another level of nerves and fear. His writing brings the reader in and puts them in the moment. It's a good, satisfying book.

I will be reading more from Andrew Franks.

[Nikki · Rating 4 out of 5]

Religious horror (or religion any genre) is really hard for me to get through because I have a lot of religious trauma from my childhood and as soon as any book gets “preachy” I checkout. This one is so full of metaphors. It’s short and quick, but it’s heavy. The writing style is so descriptive that it easily plays like a movie in your head. I lol’d at the end with what happens Dalton’s dad - goes to show that just because someone goes to church every week does not mean that they are a good person.

[Liz DiBenedetto · Rating 4 out of 5]

I first met Andrew on tiktok before I knew he was an author. His videos are so funny and I just love his energy...if you're not following him you need to.

Anyways this book....I stupidly started reading at 2am and that was a mistake. It's a very fast read but also a very creepy one. Yes I did hide under my blanket at one point. Don't judge me. It just hit that spot in my childhood brain that said "to hide and make sure your feet arent near the edge of the bed".

It also didn't help that I related to the core of this story so much. I grew up in a strict christian household like our sweet little MC. I lived through my own horrors and yes even went to the churches school. Never will my kids endure the same atrocities that he did. I just wanted to grab him and give him a huge hug the whole time.
The only thing I thought was a little weird was a tiny part at the end but I won't give it away. Also if you see a witch at the end of your bed. Just hide.

“God does have plans for you. But it won’t happen if you choose to focus on the imperfections of man instead of the sanctity of God.”

Dalton is twelve, almost thirteen—almost a man now. He is the son of the town’s preacher which gives him power over some like the school bullies and maybe even his principle. But growing into a man comes with the beginnings of sinful curiosity and Dalton finds himself hovering over the line of God and hypocrisy. When Dalton’s little brother is kidnapped by a witch, he uncovers just how deep the corruption of his family’s history goes while fighting for the salvation of his very own soul.

I said this many times and I’ll say this again: religious horror always riles me up and that’s because, for the most part, it plays on the gears of hypocrisy. There’s always a character claiming to have moral righteousness and they are typically always the most evil of them all. Dalton is trying to understand these religious morals while watching adults commit the opposite of what they preach. It’s a confusing time for a kid let alone being told one thing and witnessing the opposite! I like that in the end though, Dalton finds his own peace and place within his beliefs rather than casting religion aside altogether. I think both types of endings are acceptable for stories such as these but it’s nice to see different characters make different decisions for their own reasons.

Prey Without Ceasing sits at 90 pages and although the writing is a bit rushed, I breezed through this book in one quick sitting. I couldn’t put it down! The pacing was so quick, I was eager to reach that end and see the final conclusion. And it’s spooky, let me tell ya. 👻 I’ve read Franks in the past but this is the first horror book I’ve read by him. I’m curious to see what he comes up with next!

[Julie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I typically don't read a lot of religious horror but I'm glad I picked this up when I saw the author talk about it on Tiktok. This is a short novella that I couldn't put down, I just had to know how everything ended.
Even though this had several good horror aspects, this wont keep you up at night with nightmares. This was more a coming of age story for Dalton in my opinion with a touch of the supernatural. Real life can hold more horrors and this book delivered on that.

I will need to read more from Andrew Franks.

[Damien Casey · Rating 5 out of 5]

I grew up in Southern Ohio. The land of a baptist church every few hundred feet. I used to wonder why there were so many churches when couldn’t they all just sort of combine and work together? Andrew Franks’ Prey Without Ceasing answers the question the same way I would: there is a lot more ego in church about who is right than there is a relationship with a higher power. I can say from personal experience, a lot of the things Franks touches on here is often true. I’ve had some of my closest friends be raised in the same exact abusive “church homes” as described in the book. That aside, the book is a solid horror read. The main character struggles with his beliefs and finding out who to trust in a way I have seen so many times. The horror moments are downright creepy; the imagery alone is enough to lose sleep over. Isn’t that what a horror novel about religion should do? Ancient feeling evils and entities, Old Testament imagery, yeah… it’s a banger.

[Jacob · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! Prey Without Ceasing by Andrew Franks is an intense Southern Horror! Well written, powerfully told, this story reached out of the pages and grabbed my heart with how much I identified with the horrors the young protagonist faced from my own childhood experiences! The horror built into the religious experience is shown so powerfully and effectively, but what also shows is the honest struggle a child faces in trying to makes sense of the world as one progresses into the world of adults. And without spoiling anything I have to say this book has one of the BEST closing lines in a book! Really relatable and an excellent read, ALSO an excellent listen if you enjoy audiobooks! Highly recommend and hope you give this book a read!

[Melissa Magario · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a fantastic novella! This is a fast-paced, gripping story. Skillfully crafted in a way that made me care about these characters so much in such a short time. Full of intense moments and terrifying visuals , it kept me hooked from beginning to end. As a horror fan who is also a Christian, it's difficult finding books that don't make you feel as though you need to repent when you finish the last page, but this book delivers. Really cool to read something like this from an author with a unique perspective and life experience!

[Trena _crackthespine_ · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a coming of age religious horror novella. We follow Dalton who is the son of the pastor. Religion has always been a huge part of Dalton’s life but right now Dalton is going through a battle. One battle with becoming a teenager and finding who he is and another battle with a witch who has taken his bothers soul. This reads like a nightmare and I loved it.

I haven’t read much religious horror but this did not disappoint. Highly recommend giving this a go.

Very Fast Paced Tale on a Twisted Religious Family

I was captivated by Andrew Frank’s story of a fractured family that struggles to uphold their reputation in a small town. He paints a vivid picture of their passions and conflicts with his powerful prose. I couldn’t stop reading until I finished it! Now I’m eager to start the next book in the series!

[ashley 👻 · Rating 5 out of 5]

This 91 page novella packs a huge punch.

Following Dalton, the twelve year old son of a preacher man, following the religious teachings of his overbearing father and church - until he’s approached by a witch and is told his younger brother James’ soul has been stolen and he only has until daylight to find it, or he’s hers forever.

This novella was extremely fast paced, from the first chapter on - it shows just how effected people can become from religious trauma and how sometimes getting away from the church is the best thing for a Christian person. I was not once disappointed in this short read, and got through it in one sitting. I didn’t want it to end, but it was wrapped up so nicely I wasn’t angry when it did. Demons are a terrifying trope in horror for me, so this one did it for me. Easily a five star read.

[Rachel S · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was a highly anticipated read for me. I had been looking forward to it for a long time!

Prey Without Ceasing by Andrew Franks is touted as a Bible Belt horror. The first of its kind as far as I know. However, definitely the most relatable - even if there are others out there! I would give this a 3.5/5⭐️ overall. I cannot wait to read book two — which I already own. Hahaha. This book did a brilliant job of capturing what it’s like to be a teen in southern church culture plus all the pitfalls & confusion that comes along with it. Might help that, for once, an author knows what they’re talking about on this subject.

Dalton is a preacher’s son. He’s not the stereotypical “rebel without a care” type we’re used to seeing in books. Instead, he tries to follow every rule to the T. Every family - especially Pastor Gary Folmer’s - has secrets. Dalton’s little brother, James, has been kidnapped by a truly evil witch. What would you do? You’d go through hell & high water, right? That’s exactly what Dalton does to a gripping extent!

Gary Folmer is a scary man. He has fire and brimstone flowing out of him…at church & at home. This family is about to understand the true meaning of sinister.

I had this finished the same day I started it, but it has taken a few to reflect on the story and events. So here goes...
Prey Without Ceasing was not at all what I had expected it to be. The whole of the story is religious with underlying horror themes. I haven't read many fictional books having to do with any religion, I reserve my horror movies for these types... however, this was a nice switch up.
The MC, Dalton, is pretty much under very strict and watchful eyes, and everything is a sin to his father, who also happens to be the preacher of the church Dalton goes to.
Prey Without Ceasing had its ups and fowns in events during my reading, but it was easy to follow along with the characters and storyline.
The ending, while executed nicely, I felt was very abrupt. I was expecting a bit longer of an ending, but I still enjoyed the book.

To me, this was written in a Stephen King style, so I'd say if you enjoy his books to listen to or read it.

I was given a copy of the audiobook by Andrew Franks. I'm leaving this review of my own volition.
With that said, thank you for the book, Andrew.

[David Michaele · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book. I love reading about the struggles between Good and Evil and the demons, internal or otherwise, that they produce. The author didn't hold anything back telling this story even with some of the hard subject matter that was discussed throughout it. U couldn't help feel for the main character, Dolton and what he went through and struggled with. There were parts that were funny, sad, alittle scary and parts that actually shocked the hell out of me enough to say, Holy Shit outloud. One thing I felt wasn't necessary in the book was that there was a drawing or picture of the witch in the story on one of the pages and I honestly wish that it wasn't there because in my imagination I saw her as being decrepit and truly terrifying but the actual picture of her looked very cartoony and after seeing it, it took away from the scariness of her character for me. Overall, I did like the story. It is the first book of a trilogy and I look forward to reading where the author takes the story next.

[Thomas Gloom · Rating 4 out of 5]

The pace of this novella has a bit of a fever-pitch that kept me pushing through to see it's climactic end. I'd have personally liked a bit more overt horror, but that doesn't mean this story isn't scary.

The author does a great job of peeling back the curtain of American Evangelical Christianity to show its toxic underside, without painting with too broad of a brush. This is religious horror with a strong focus on the human monsters that are typically behind the abuses that take place within some Christian institutions.

Many aspects of the book are drawn from the personal experiences of Andrew Franks, so there is a level of realism that comes across as natural and honest. There are some supernatural elements, but the author does a great job in keeping the questions and answers vague enough to allow the reader to decide whether they are real or imagined.

The audiobook version is just under three hours long, and I listened to the whole thing in one sitting.

I recommend this book to fans of religious horror, supernatural suspense, and Southern coming-of-age stories.

[Deven VanKirk · Rating 5 out of 5]

I discovered this author on TikTok, and knew I wanted to read his book from the get go.

I was hooked from the first page! This book is so well written. Descriptions of people, places, and situations, all made me feel like I was right there with the main character, Dalton.

Dalton's dad is the local preacher. Dalton is trying to navigate teenage life, while struggling with horrible nightmares, extreme manipulation from his father and the church, and physical and emotional abuse.

When his brother, is kidnapped by a witch, Dalton must do everything within his power to save him.

While I’m not religious, at all, this book freaked me out. I had no idea that religious warfare was a thing. I knew there was a lot of guilt in some religions, but had no clue how far it could go.

I feel like the pacing in this book was excellent, and can’t wait for Andrew Franks next horror installment.

[Chelle Cypress · Rating 4 out of 5]

Prey Without Ceasing is a compelling read laced with metaphor about the hypocrisy that occurs in the Christian church while still holding onto a thread of faith in God by the end of the novel.

As a person who grew up in a religious cult the intensity of the religious fervor felt very familiar and relatable as well as Daltons rebellious and questioning nature.

The last half of the book was filled with metaphors. However I felt like the author could have achieved the point that child sa is rampant in the church without the depiction he choose to use. I just felt like it could have been done differently though I do believe that the depiction was to highlight the abusive nature in the church. This is my primary reason for giving the book a 4 instead of a 5 star.

Overall, if you are someone who grew up in an intensely religious Christian church or home and are deconstructing but still wanting to hold onto a core of your belief system then this is an interesting and intriguing read

[Dave · Rating 3 out of 5]

A religious horror novel in which the hypocrisy of organized religion becomes the main focus of the evil our MC is facing.

Enjoyable enough, but didn't really move the needle for me personally. I'm not sure if it's due to a situation where maybe religious horror just isn't a genre I get excited about or maybe, more importantly, a situation where I may have found myself sort of moving away from reading horror at all. I still enjoy a good dark tale, at least I think I do, but lately I've found that the horror I've read recently has left me wondering if I like the IDEA of reading horror more than ACTUALLY reading horror.

As for this book, it's a fast read with a nice little twist at the end. You'll probably see it coming before you get there, but overall it was an enjoyable read but just didn't stick with me when I finished it. Probably definitely more of a "me and my reading tastes are changing" problem than anything to do with the book.

If you want to understand church mentality without the guilty inducing commitment, Read This Book

Andrew Franks cuts through skin, muscle, sinew, and bone in this "finish in one night" novel. Each chapter builds suspense and environment like rooms in a haunted house.

Any reader who spent their childhood in a church will understand the mentality of the child protagonist. While many horror stories have the reader yelling for the character to "not go in that room!", Prey Without Ceasing perfectly details the rationalizations that go through the mind of some who is "on fire for god".

The pace builds to a finale that is as twisted and foreboding as one would come to expect in story dealing with the church. While a work of fiction, the messages and nods to reality elude to a sinister reality. 5 stars 🌟

[PenelopeDawn · Rating 5 out of 5]

It’s not very often that I find a REALLY GOOD Christian fiction author but I’m looking forward to reading more of Andrew Franks after this! I loved this story from beginning to end. It’s a quick listen on audible with a narrator that really made you feel like you were inside the story. It made my 4 hour drive feel like nothing! The premise and plot are interesting. The characters really suck you in. And the intricacies and implications of religion in today’s world as a whole, they’re spot on and scary accurate to some of the things I’ve seen growing up in a religious household. Throw in some fantastical horror and you’ve got yourself an intriguing read that might just keep you up at night, scared to come out from under the covers.

[Danielle Krenn · Rating 4 out of 5]

I discovered Andrew on IG and immediately related to his videos of his personal religious accounts. As someone who grew up Southern Baptist and removed myself from it as an adult, a lot of what he talks about resonates with me.

This book is well written and fast paced. I agree with another reviewer who felt like this story was more about Dalton discovering himself through his beliefs and what they meant to him. The horror didn't do much for me, but I also looked at it through a different lens, so to speak. I felt a lot of it was metaphorical, which isn't a bad thing at all. I know it was meant as a short story, but I would've liked some things fleshed out a bit more.

3.5⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 actual rating

[Lin Renee · Rating 4 out of 5]

Okay, wow. This book was excellent. It had a heavy Christian influence with a lot of horror that dug in deep. The scariest part of this story is that people are still out there living in situations like this one, some are even much worse.

Some of the imagery in this novella are up there with Stephan King and Grady Hendrix. Is this a King book, absolutely not. It’s far too short. Besides that not even King started out as prolific as he is now. Have you read Carrie? Great story, difficult read. I’m getting off topic. The potential for greatness is there! I, for one, cannot wait to see what comes next for Andrew Franks.

[Marissa · Rating 4 out of 5]

What a great read! You can't go wrong mixing religion and horror; the imagery itself is enough to keep you up at night. Add to that a nicely developed protagonist and a struggle for a soul, and you've got yourself a hell of a ride! I only rated this 4 out of 5 stars because I found myself wishing we could've delved more a bit into the relationship between Dalton and his father, and I did wonder why it was James' soul that hung in the balance, rather than Dalton's own. Actually, maybe it was both their souls, in retrospect. Read it and let me know what you think! All in all, a super enjoyable read, and I can't wait to see more from Andrew in the future!

Strong Faith

Authority, rebellion, discovery, frustration, fear, courage, redemption and salvation.

This book does a fine job of presenting a fair image of a relatable church / church-school environment and the struggle for a young man experiencing the outward pressure to conform while also trying to become who he feels he ought to be. All pretense is cast aside when the stakes get higher (and when the stakes get higher, masks fall off). There is the forgivably imperfect hero Dalton, and also the veiled villain (?).

I think that the author is onto something here. As a pastor, I can appreciate the passion this book contains and the desire to see young Dalton not just survive, but thrive, and become the hero. We know he is going to be alright, and his family (most of them…).

I feel it can be therapeutic to those who grew up in church without a voice to help them navigate the aforementioned struggles. I know he wrote another in this series. I’ve not read it yet, but will start soon.

[Andie Wearden · Rating 5 out of 5]

So, I first got plugged into this author on TikTok—he seems like a super legit dude, very down to earth and funny and very nice. I reached out to get his book…y’all, it’s so good. The artwork is peak. He is a very strong writer—the pacing, the building tension, the payoff. All superb. It feels so realistic, like it could have been you. That’s what makes it so much more intense. If this guy writes a hundred books, I’ll buy every one. For now, I’m on my way to his online shop to get a sweatshirt.
