Ania Ahlborn
With nothing but the clothes on his back--and something horrific snapping at his heels--Jack Winter fled his rural Georgia home when he was still just a boy. Watching the world he knew vanish in a trucker's rearview mirror, he thought he was leaving an unspeakable nightmare behind forever. But years later, the bright new future he's built suddenly turns pitch black, as something fiendishly familiar looms dead ahead. When Jack, his wife Aimee, and their two small children survive a violent car crash, it seems like a miracle. But Jack knows what he saw on the road that night, and it wasn't divine intervention. The profound evil from his past won't let them die...at least not quickly. It's back, and it's hungry; ready to make Jack pay for running, to work its malignant magic on his angelic youngest daughter, and to whisper a chilling promise: I've always been here, and I'll never leave. Country comfort is no match for spine-tingling Southern gothic suspense in Ania Ahlborn's tale of an ordinary man with a demon on his back. Seed plants its page-turning terror deep in your soul, and lets it grow wild.

"Seed-Ania Ahlborn- 4.75 ⭐️- Whoa! WTH?! DARK, gruesome, gripping, unsettling, couldn’t put it down, so bad/so good, not sure how I feel but also loved it… What is fate?, what is evil? Where is salvation? So different than what I usually read. Did I mention, whoa? 😳"

"Very eerie quick read; I explained this to someone like this "it's the book version of the exorcist, if ABC did a TV show remake of the movie" which saying that out loud makes it sound like an awful book but I meant it in the best way possible because it was a really great page-turner, it was just a short book"
"This book actually creeped me out and I'm still thinking about it days after I read it....there's nothing like a fatal family drama to cause you to shudder and ponder for days afterwards.<br/><br/>You can't help but like Jack Winter and his adorable little family....I couldn't help but put my 2 little grand nieces faces into the characters of Abby and Charlie....which then made the story that much more intense and disturbing for me since now I cannot seem to keep the girls' faces out of the bad creepy demon story line....so much for creative visualization huh?....<br/><br/>I think what made it worse for me is that Charlie was so stinking adorable and to see her slowly change into a horrifying creature on the inside was simply a huge painful tug on the ole heartstrings. I was sad when Jack was sad for I felt like it was my own child bringing the nightmare from the past into the present and I was helpless to stop it. All I can say is Charlie is one CREEPY little child by the end of the book.....<br/><br/>I was looking for something to 'scare' me and while I wasn't scared so much as I was creeped out.....it still was a fun disturbing read for me and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy a short but very satisfying horror read."
