Fear mingles expertly with suspense in Michael Winter’s novel.
From the corner of your eye to the focus of your fear… These ominous words emblazoned on the cover provide an apt description for the harrowing tale contained therein. Andrew Tate is a hardworking paramedic for Tampa Fire Rescue, trying hard to salvage his marriage and his relationship with his precious daughter. Andrew has a tendency to drink too much and blames his father, John Tate, who once was a respected dean of biology at the University of Tampa. John abandoned his family years ago to protect them from monsters only he could see. With just a vague directive not to look directly at the monsters, Andrew can no longer deny that the creatures are prolific and threatening those he loves. Things in Tampa are spiraling out of control as an invasion looms on the horizon.
This book won’t scare you with cheap jump scenes or overly graphic gore. Instead it will infiltrate your sanity with the implication that every shadow dancing in the corner of your eye might be a mortal threat. As the elusive beings progress from eating rodents and dogs to threatening the human race, time is running short for the disgraced Tate family. The mind manipulation by the nefarious alien race adds even more terror to an entirely unsettling tale.
Periphery will make you take a closer look into the shadows. Fear mingles expertly with suspense in Michael Winter’s novel.
