David B Silva Books Overview

Special Effects

From science fiction icon and cult film favorite Kevin McCarthy comes a brand new suspense series that combines the classic paranoia of the original Body Snatchers film, with the contemporary thrills of The X Files…
. It began as a CIA project. A means to spy over long distances by powers of the mind. When the Agency pulled the plug on the PSI Project, Samuel Hunter decided to keep the experiment going. But then he tried to force one of his young subjects to use her special gifts to commit an assassination…
. For one of Hunter’s coworkers, it was the last straw. Assuming the false name ‘Kevin Mc Connell,’ he helped three young recruits Summer, James, and Kate to escape. Now, they are a ‘family’ unlike any other. They are gifted or cursed with special powers. And they’re running for their lives…

All the Lonely People

David B. Silva, legendary author, editor and publisher, once again takes horror’s main stage with his latest novel…
Chase Hanford owns and runs The Last Stop, a little bar with sawdust on the floor and pine paneling on the walls. It, like the jukebox next to the front door, didn’t get much play, but it had its regulars. Until one night, when a stranger appears with a peculiar rosewood box. A box that possesses a strange symbol: a circle within a circle inside a crescent. The stranger calls it a spirit box. Something Native Americans once used to trap the souls of their enemies within. As the bar regulars become curious, the stranger opens the box. And unleashes a hell like no other. Chase Hanford awakes from the aftermath, soon realizing bits and pieces of his life are being taken away. Fallen to mental lapses and witnessing strange occurences, he fights to save his life, his soul and his sanity…

Through Shattered Glass

It’s the only window in the room and it’s scarred with spider webbed cracks. Sometimes on warm summer afternoons, he sits alone here, staring out at the world through the shattered glass. What he sees doesn’t always look right, but then there are strange things in the world. Through Shattered Glass, David B. Silva’s first short story collection, takes readers on an imaginative journey through the lives of seventeen ordinary people struggling with extraordinary events in their lives. The Calling: an adult son cares for his mother, who is dying from cancer, over the final few months of her life. As the cancer grows stronger it permeates their relationship, every event inside the house, and eventually leads to a powerful, unexpected ending that seems almost inevitable.

There’s blood on the bumper of the old pickup, and Will’s father thinks he might have hit something on the way home from the bar, but he isn’t sure. When they hear that Joey Eagan was killed last night in a hit and run off Buzzard Roost Road, Will’s old man vows to finally give up his heavy drinking. But drying out takes a toll of its own.
