A slice of shivering dread * New York Daily News * Chase Novak unleashes truly scary literary horror villains in BREED: Mom and Dad... a thrill to read * USA Today * Above and beyond its fatality count BREED has originality on its side; the ending is a true shocker. * New York Times * Delightfully entertaining... redolent of Roald Dahl at his creepy best * Washington Post * Novak puts an innovative spin on the idea that inside every parent lurks a monster, and delivers pulse-racing set pieces as a pervasive sense of dread blossoms into something poisonous. The result is a stylish parable of greed, peppered with plenty of dry urban humour * Financial Times * A nightmarish, yet sickeningly plausible world... An exceptional novel that's crying out for a movie adap * SFX * The best horror novel I've read since Peter Straub's Ghost Story. By turns terrifying and blackly funny, BREED is a total blast. * Stephen King * Praise for BREED * . * A richly imagined, hideous, surprising world...Who could ask for anything more? * PopMatters * A gloriously ghoulish read * Irish Tatler *
