"In all great books, we discover voice, unique to the story at hand. And the voice in Veil is as present, strong, charming, singular, and desperate as any I've read. The story of a family man who will stop at nothing to protect those he loves. Even if those threats are beyond sanity, reason, and a once agreed upon reality. Janz has written another absolute gem of the genre."

-- "Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box and Incidents Around the House"

"Janz takes the quintessential theme of how far you would go to protect your family to clever and horrifying heights."

-- "First Clue Reviews"

"I loved the eerie sense of dread woven through the story. It's not an easy thing to maintain such a suspenseful atmosphere, and I applaud Janz for pulling it off. When the suspense finally starts to ease, that's when the tears come in for the last few chapters...A wildly imaginative tale. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves strong characters, scary creatures, apocalyptic vibes, and emotional roller coasters."

-- "Kayla Frederick, author of Dead by Morning"

"This is an exciting 'popcorn novel' that can be enjoyed even by those who don't regularly read horror or sci-fi. With a super fast pace and a cast the reader cares for, Veil is nearly impossible to put down until you've completely looked behind it."

-- "Nick Cato, author of Suburban Grindhouse and Dark Dreams"

"An instantly compelling, instantly unshakable nightmare. Janz cuts straight to the heart of our deepest, truest fear: that in a flash, everything we know and love, even our fundamental understandings of the world, can vanish."

-- "Nat Cassidy, USA Today bestselling author of When the Wolf Comes Home and Mary"

"Veil is a dynamic, heartbreaking, heroic, and terrifying horror thriller! You really feel for the characters in this edge-of-the-seat powerhouse of a novel. Highly recommended!"

-- "Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Cold War and Red Empire"

"Veil is a chilling, suspenseful tale of a community grappling with unexplained disappearances and the breakdown of society. Janz's newest novel excels in its exploration of family dynamics and human resilience amidst unimaginable horror, creating a truly haunting reading experience."

-- "Gaby Triana, author of Moon Child, Wake the Hollow, and the Haunted Florida series"

"In Jonathan Janz's newest novel, Veil, he manages to write a story whose heart is as large as the body count. With suspense vibes that conjure thoughts of Robert McCammon's Stinger and M. Night Shyamalan's Signs combined with the intensity of Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park, Veil hits the ground sprinting and doesn't slow until after the final page is turned. When it comes to alien horror, Janz not only drops the mic with unique flair, he strolls offstage leaving us begging for an encore!"

-- "J. H. Markert, author of Sleep Tight"

"Janz is an elite writer, one who has honed his writing voice and mastery of prose over decades now, and once you begin a Janz book, you know you're in sure and steady hands. This book was achingly perfect and is sure to connect with longtime fans and bring in plenty of new fans."

-- "Steve Stred, author of Churn the Soil and Mastodon"

"A truly masterful novel, that is about what it is to endure as a father and a human being, Jonathan Janz has yet again demonstrated that he can write just about anything. I feel it's high time we let him write just everything. Novels, manifestos...screenplays. Somebody call Hollywood."

-- "George Dunn, FanFiAddict"

"The horror in Veil doesn't just pop out at you; it creeps in, quiet and relentless, until it's everywhere. It's the kind that messes with your head as much as your heart."

-- "Fully Booked"

"Janz's approach to the alien invasion itself is high-concept horror done right...Veil functions well as a stand-alone, but by book's end I found myself hungry for a sequel."

-- "Michael Hicks, FanFiAddict"
