Buckle up for a blistering collision of high-speed action, thrilling vengeance, and grisly terror in Connected, the debut novel from horror journalist Jason Jenkins.
With its breakneck pacing, unapologetic brutality, and surprisingly emotional core, Connected reads like Man on Fire meets The Call by way of Halloween.
Katharine Keyes spends her nights helping stranded motorists through Blue Sky Wireless’ Connected Services. Flat tires. Dead batteries. Lost drivers. Simple problems with simple solutions.
Until the night she answers a call from Danny. He’s charming. He’s funny. And he’s just murdered a man.
Driving through the darkness in a brand-new car, Danny has disabled every system meant to track him. No GPS. No location. No way for police to find him. The only connection left is Kate, the voice on the other end of the line.
Danny says he isn’t killing randomly. He says his victims deserve what’s coming. And if Kate stays with him long enough, she’ll understand why.
Now trapped in the deadliest call of her life, Kate must piece together clues from every word, every sound, and every secret Danny reveals before he reaches the end of his list.
But the longer she listens, the harder one question becomes: What if the killer is right?
A genre specialist with bylines from Bloody Disgusting, Dread Central, and HorrorHound Magazine, Jenkins filters the essence of vintage horror paperbacks through a contemporary lens.
New York Times bestselling author Brian Keene (The Rising) praises Connected as “a high octane thriller that kicks into high gear within the first few pages and never slows down, revealing a lot of heart and exposing human truths in its violent wake.”
“Jason Jenkins writes with the spirit of horror’s past, present, and future combined,” lauds author Matt Serafini (Feeders). “This is the kind of ‘anything goes’ shocker you might’ve bought off a spinner rack back in the day. A terrific read that knows how to keep the pages turning.”
Jason Jenkins’ Connected is available now in paperback, mass market paperback, and e-book from Encyclopocalypse Publications.
