About the book: Intercepts (2026) is the 'Best of BookTok' horror sensation, now with a never-before-seen bonus chapter (only exclusive to the hardback edition)!
Joe works for a government facility. A very secret government facility, where human 'antennae' with brutally increased psychic ability are used to 'intercept' potential threats to the nation. All the test subjects went violently insane. But the research continued. Today, it has been perfected.
Almost perfected.
Joe's government is proud of him. His conscience is clear. As long as his daughter, Riley, never finds out what he does for a living. But now Joe's work has followed him home. There is someone in the corner of Riley's eye. Someone who is not there when she turns around – and who can not just intercept her senses, but manipulate them to see and believe terrible things.
And they have a plan.
The government's most sinister weapon has turned itself against his own daughter. The question now is: how far will he go to save her?
About the author: T J Payne is the author of Intercepts, The Venue, and In My Father's Basement. Born and raised in Portland, OR, he moved to Hollywood with plans to write romantic comedies, but as he worked on his craft, he found his stories drifting toward more sinister themes. Eventually, he found the natural outlet for his voice - horror and thriller genres. His writing style relies on a light touch, using simple, smooth prose to build and maintain the story's horrific intensity. Through this style, Payne weaves in deeper themes and questions about human nature, particularly the subtle line between Good and Evil. Traditional Hero and Villain archetypes are often flipped in Payne's work. His characters may not always be likeable, but their faults and sins are profoundly human.
Despite his gritty, dark work, Payne lives a very happy, non-murderous life. He married his high school sweetheart and together they enjoy exploring National Parks with their dog, Frank, (on leash and with plenty of poop bags, of course).
Rating: 5/5
