Synopsis

It’s the last day in the life of the suicide cult.

Nine members. One house. Twelve more hours. Then the knives will come out and the ritual will start and the blood...is expected to pour...

But young Matthew is having second thoughts. Of everyone there, The Leader trusts young Matthew the most.

But the problem is, young Matthew doesn’t trust The Leader back.

And as the seconds and the minutes and the hours tick by, young Matthew thinks of staging a revolt.

THE DEVOTED stands tall among horror action stories and epic tales of cults as a novel dealing in themes of love and friendship, as well as a coming of age story steeped in mental illness and psychological suspense. A mashup weaving elements of the thriller, horror, crime, and mystery genres, THE DEVOTED’s dark heart also beats with romance, depicting a collective of soulful characters who’ve left behind their urban city life for a house in the country that might be the last place they ever dwell.

Editorial reviews

“Eric Shapiro knows that sometimes the worst horrors are the ones we make for ourselves. His book is riveting from the very first, his writing crisp, witty, and stylish. There’s real wisdom here, and compassion. Mr. Shapiro? Do us a favor. Keep on drumming!” --Jack Ketchum

“The Devoted takes you to the edge of what you think you know and then whispers that you’re already in this book. That you have been all along.” —Stephen Graham Jones

“Eric Shapiro’s The Devoted is a disturbing and frighteningly immersive portrait of life inside the last days of a collapsing cult. This fast-paced kaleidoscope of narrative styles swings swiftly from seduction to self-immolating shock to a bloody, beautiful end.” —Jeremy Robert Johnson
