“The voice in Veil is as present, strong, charming, singular, and desperate as any I’ve read. The story of a family man who will stop at nothing to protect those he loves. Even if those threats are beyond sanity, reason, and a once agreed upon reality. Janz has written another absolute gem of the genre.”—Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box
From beloved horror author Jonathan Janz, Veil is a heart-stopping story of one father who will stop at nothing to save his family.
It begins at night. People vanish from parks and city streets. Then in broad daylight, they’re dragged screaming into the woods, into the water, into the sky. People take refuge in their homes, but still the invisible creatures come, ripping people away from their horrorstruck loved ones. Spouses. Parents. Children. Nowhere is safe and no defense can stop them. Because nothing can save you from what you can’t see.
High school teacher John Calhoun loses his son the first night. A day later, they take his wife. For two months, he and his thirteen-year-old daughter manage to survive, but in the end, she is abducted too. In John’s darkest moment, he meets a motley group of survivors who have a secret: a near-fatal car accident has given one of them the ability to detect what normal human eyesight cannot.
The survivors believe they can replicate the brain injury that will enable them to see the creatures. To discover how they’re invading our world. To fight them. Desperate to save his family, John volunteers. And after the veil of invisibility is lifted, he and his new friends will risk everything to achieve the impossible: enter an alien world and bring their loved ones back.

John is a science teacher and book store owner with a family that’s disappointed in him. Then one night while walking his son walks ahead and out of sight for a few seconds and by the time John catches up he’s just gone. Around this time mass disappearances begin happening all over the world. People being dragged away and vanishing before people’s eyes by entities that cannot be seen.
I had a lot of fun with this one. I always enjoy a good creepy mystery and creature feature and this one hits all the notes.
On a side note maybe don’t read the entire synopsis on the back of the book as I feel it gives a little too much away.
Also warning this is pretty open ended so a sequel is likely in the works. I did not know this going in and I think that really can matter when picking what to read.
Excellent Sci Fi Horror
