From the author of the acclaimed If You Go Down to the Woods (HarperCollins) comes a new thriller in the slipstream of Jacob's The Monkey's Paw and King's Pet Sematary.

Joe Jimenez, grieving father and estranged husband, on the eve of the anniversary of his son's death is on the brink of complete despair when he witnesses the arrival of a strange atmospheric anomaly. The rift – a curious tear in the very air of his backyard – appears nightly, and after some experimentation, Joe discovers that for everything that's sent through the rift, something similar, but horribly wrong, comes back. And when something on the other side claims to be in possession of his son, Joe has to make the most important decision of his life: should he go through and find out??

AUTHOR: Raised by parents who inexplicably thought it okay to give their son free rein of the public library at the tender age of ten, Seth C. Adams knew he wanted to be a writer early on. A fan of Marvel comics, sci-fi, fantasy, and horror fiction, The Twilight Zone, Star Trek, and other genre entertainment, he splits the majority of his time-often with difficulty-between reading novels and producing his own. Also an avid gamer, Adams at times has to tear himself away from RPGs or MMOs, reminding himself how he makes a living and what pays the bills. With a Bachelor's in anthropology from the University of California, Riverside, and a Master's in North American History from Arizona State University, as an adult he's learned that real life is indeed stranger–and more terrifying–than fiction, especially having spent six years as a bookseller!

Reviews for The Rift

"""A powerful exploration of grief. The horror aspects are good. The mysterious hellish landscape of the Rift and what comes out of it when things return are great body horror and add a clear sense of threat. Worth a look!"" -- Runalong the Shelves ""Marvelous science fiction that thrills you and excites you till the end."" -- Bibliophileverse ""A twisty and unpredictable little read that keeps you guessing about where it is heading and left me slightly surprised at where it eventually came out. And the images of what was inside the rift have stayed with me as nightmare fodder ever since, so it is definitely memorable!"" -- Bookshine & Readbows ""Quick but intense [...] a must-read."" -- Books & Bacon ""Well-written, dark and twisted, sad, and engaging."" -- Wintry Monsters Press"
