EXCLUSIVE: Bestselling author Jonathan Janz has signed with Lit Entertainment Group for management.
This comes ahead of tomorrow’s release of Janz’s next book, Veil, a heart-stopping story of a father who will stop at nothing to slash his family.
Releasing through Blackstone Publishing, Veil watches as people begin to vanish one night — first from parks and streets, and then in broad daylight — dragged screaming into woods, water, even the sky. Homes offer no refuge; unseen creatures snatch spouses, parents, and children, unstoppable and invisible.
High-school teacher John Calhoun loses his son the first night and his wife the next day. For two months he survives with his 13-year-old daughter, until she, too, is taken. In despair, John encounters a small band of survivors who share a secret: after a near-fatal crash, one of them can perceive what ordinary eyes cannot. They believe they can reproduce this brain injury to see the creatures, uncover how they enter our world, and fight back. Driven to rescue his family, John volunteers — risking his life to pierce the veil of invisibility and join a mission to cross into an alien realm and bring their loved ones home.
Nominated for a Goodreads Choice Award, a Splatterpunk Award, and a Darrell Award, Veil marks Janz’s 19th published novel. A teacher based in Indiana, Janz has been recognized for his work in that capacity with the Golden Apple Award for Excellence in Teaching, in his first year of eligibility. Previously, he also won District 1 Indiana Girls Basketball’s State Coach of the Year.
Janz’s novels Children of the Dark and The Dark Game were named to leading Ten Horror Books of the Year lists by Booklist and Library Journal, respectively. He’s also known for writing “Lenora,” a buzzy short story for the Stephen King-inspired anthology It’s the End of the World As We Know It, which has broken out as a New York Times popular pick.
