Praise for DiLeo's Work
EMPTY DEVILS is a surprisingly complex and beautiful treatise on grief, hate, memory, and monsters. DiLeo writes some kick-ass bloody action then follows it up with gut-punch passages about love. The ending will haunt me for a long time.
Sam Rebelein, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of The Poorly Made and Other Things
THE DEVIL VIRUS does what the best supernatural fiction must—ground the terror in the human heart. Chris DiLeo delivers a story of faith and fear with a skilled, steady hand. Follow him into the dark!
Aggressive. Heartfelt. This book is going to piss all the right people off. What would you do if a monster took away your child? Where would your anger lead you? The perfect story for today told by one of horror's most dynamic voices.
L.P. Hernandez, author of No Gods, Only Chaos and In the Valley of the Headless Men
A bloody tale of loss and vengeance, EMPTY DEVILS is razor sharp and cuts deep. The 'F-your feelings' crowd will hate it.
Chris Panatier, author of The Redemption of Morgan Bright
DiLeo is a remarkable writer, with a clear ability to evoke character, conjure dread — and to do whatever it is that drives the reader to keep turning the pages, one by one, and faster and faster.
Michael Koryta, bestselling author of An Honest Man and Lost Man's Lane
Michael Marshall, bestselling author of The Straw Men trilogy and The Intruders
BIO
Chris DiLeo is the author of numerous novels, an AuthorCon Gross-Out Champion, and a high school English teacher in New York.
Born to highly educated parents, DiLeo grew up in a house filled with books. When DiLeo's father died, eleven-year-old DiLeo dared to read the books in his father's horror collection. DiLeo fell in love.
He wrote his first novel at 19 and never looked back. He loves stories that force characters into extreme situations, those scenarios where there's no choice but to confront the monster, be it human or supernatural.
He is active on social media, including Bluesky and Instagram @authordileo.
