INFECTED horror novel, author Scott Sigler

[jackalvulture]

I dunno.... does it have ponies?

Yes, but they are all bad.

[CoDnPorn]

can anyone help me. is their a difference between hardened and paperback, besides the size? sometimes i see author saying they will be making their novel into hardened now and "fans can expect more". idk so confused

[scottsigler]

@CoDnPorn Usually a hardcover and a paperback are the same story. Sometimes if they release a new version of a book a few years later, they will put in some extra content. But most of the time? The same!

[CoDnPorn]

@scottsigler cool. thanks for replying Scott! I'm already a fan of yours and I haven't even read any of your books. weird? lol. well, I love how you reach out to your fans and that's a big plus when an author does that. so I'm sold! I just bought "Infected" and "Contagious". I cant wait until i received them in the mail so i can start reading and catch up in the infected series.

Awesome! I really hope you enjoy the reads.

[TheNikedubs]

Love the books Scott, I'm a little disappointed we lost Perry in Contagious, but hey we still got the Quentin. Look forward to what you do with Pandemic, hope to hear it soon.

[monrofay]

i love this guys stuff i read earthcore was some good shit,, listenting to infected well 50% into it love every sec pretty good stuff before i started i had little faith in audio book let alone read books but im hooked if ya like earthcore makesure infected is next one ya watch,read,listen

[H4ckrlockrInferno]

infected is my favourite book since years but the end is a little bit kind of "cutten up" but the continuing book makes that good again

hey one question scott will there also be an earthcore 2? the story could go on :P

[32sponge]

loved the novel

[alleclipsed]

Man, I've never actually SEEN the FDO talking before. I've heard him, and seen pictures...

but it was just a weird feeling.

[LUCAStheCRAZED]

i LOVE infected i listened to the podcast version and it scared the CRAP out of me!!!! and ive heard rumors that someone was making a movie out of it... confirm or deny?

[RyuuSigma]

Dude, totally off-topic, but his eyebrows are cool o_o They're like permanently raised, like he's looking at you and thinking, "Reeeally..."

[crazman01]

this guy is my hero INFECTED IT THE GREATEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ!

[IamUberStein]

I like how Scott is reaching out to people in posting videos. It's one thing to have your manuscript published. It's another thing to sell your novel, and Scott seems to get it.

I hope he develops a love for German Lesbian Vampires. Set it in space and it becomes hard science fiction. Problem solved baby.

[scottsigler]

German Lesbian Vampires in Space? Hell, the title alone just sells itself!

[linebackertwo]

I'll started reading Mr Sigler's lastest tome " Contagouis" which is a great reading and a great mix of horror, sci fi and dark VERY dark humor. Read and enjoy;-)

[siasti]

Interesting story of how you used the Internet to circumvent the regular channels. Cool. I'm buying Infected just cos I like your style!

[mjamesmw]

first two were awesome.When is pandemic coming out in print?

[scottsigler]

PANDEMIC is probably out in 2011. I didn't want to write it immediately following CONTAGIOUS, and that was a mistake. Now I can't wait to get at it! ANCESTOR is the next book, out May 4, 2009.

[KaiserSoze679]

Not to nitpick, but I assume you mean 2010? Seeing as May 09 is long since over.

[scottsigler]

Crap, you are correct. ANCESTOR is out May 4, 2010.

[KaiserSoze679]

It's all good, FDO... just thought I'd clarify for people who might get confused.

[kazoo43]

I was ADDICTED to this book and I just want to thank you for publishing this book. But I feel the end was a bit rushed. Thanks again Scott!

[scottsigler]

I hear what you're saying about the end, but I'm really thrilled you enjoyed the story. Each phase of the story focuses on one break point: INFECTED was Perry's story of discipline, CONTAGIOUS was more Chelsea's story of power, and when she was gone it was over. As for the third book, PANDEMIC? I can't even give you a hint, other than that it is really, really messed up.

[wrestlemaniac829]

@scottsigler When will it hit book stores? I really enjoy your books ad can't wait to see what happens in the next book. But of course with most of the main characters dead, including Perry and that detective, who knows what will happen? It's that uncertainty that beckons me to read the next book and discover what happens.

[gooser562]

lol, I hate that kid too

[faf26]

hi scott i just wanted to say i`m reading your book right now and i have to say i can`t put it down i love it, the idea of a microscopic virualbeing from space is nothing compared to invasion of the body snatchers or the zombie movie undead.

you have captured my attention and your book is going on my best book shelf.

cheers from a fan.

[scottsigler]

faf26, glad you're enjoying it!

[Speed6633]

I have recently written a story titled 'The Dentist' about a mother taking her young son to the dentist for his first checkup, but things turn gruesomely array.

[scottsigler]

Speed, good luck with that story. Dentists scare me to start with, so sounds like a winner.

[FalconMan1960]

I write horror too, and have 5 books out. Your podcasting idea is inspiring. I wrote one called GROUND that takes place in a prison where the prisoners are being ground and served in the cafeteria!

[curlygurl2011]

I have not read his books yet but I'm interested. Can someone tell me what made these books soo good?

[scottsigler]

Because the paper they are printed on is made of ground-up, freeze-dried baby seals. How much more evil can you get than that?

[crownofthhorns]

they are incredibly well written. Earthcore was very good and infected was terrific.

[ShroudMag]

Excellent!

[metalpsalm]

What are you doing to me??? I'm addicted to Infected.... and all your writing. Hang on, I gotta go feed the triangles.....

[jakmeoff4000]

lol FEED US WE HUNGRY

[OwnNewWay]

I like Lovecraft, Lord Dunsany, Pigotti, and Clive Barker. Would I like this horror novel??

[scottsigler]

OwnNewWay - if you like Barker, you'd probably like it. However, I use hard science for my monsters, not mysticism, so keep that in mind.

[CastleRockFan]

Infected was SO much fun. I loved it.

[badgerman12]

please make a sequal

[MyDaddyCool]

Hey Scott, I'd like to see a fight between Perry and Brian.

[epicwater]

I don't regret buying this book at all. Enjoyed every single page.

[ChicagoSpeech]

I am a junkie for life. There's something about the serial nature of podcast publishing, and the sheer creative invention of Sigler's pen, that hooks you (just as deeply as the infection hooks into the victims' bones). Marie's Children, Molly McButter, those chicken sheers, how does he come up with this stuff. He's on sick genius. Sorry, King and Crichton, you are so last gen. Sigler has arrived.

[johnshollywood]

you have been tagged for the naked VLog campaign

[newfthegoof]

Hey Scott, I was wondering. When you first released Infected when It was "Infection" There was a song from the Band Uncrowned. What was the name of the song?

[blahblah2421]

This is an awsome book. I just finished reading it. Don't worry, No spoilers here =)

[CatsNDominoes]

I heard of this book from Keith and The Girl, and being a fan of this kind of novel, I'm definitely going to find it at a local bookstore, because it sounds awesome. I don't think it'll be hard to find, just look for the book with the triangle iris on it.

[scottsigler]

Yeah, and it's actually in stores now. I hope you dig it.

[obito55]

i might get this book cause it seems really interesting

[emocosplayproduction]

I saw the add for the book here on YouTube & thought it looked kinda cool..

I am planning on buying it in the future.

It looks really good

[kingdj711]

yeah i saw the add on youtube also.... whats up with the triangle pupil???

[mddawson1]

Triangle iris, the pupil is a circle.

[ElHanko]

All hail Lord Sigler!

Nocturnal is literally one of the best stories I've ever read with my ears. Fantastic stuff, can't recommend it enough. You know, you really have to listen to understand the Junkie stuff, but Nocturnal is some addictive shit.

[akatsukiAlcamist]

hail the overlord!!! *bows down*

[lolpox]

Hail Sigler!

hmmm... sounds to close to something else...

what could that be? :D

[nelzone01]

Go Scott - Work dem eyebrows, hail overlord.

[DrStrangematter]

w00t Overlord Sigler !

Infected is a blast ! and as said earlier Nocturnal is bliss ,hell , they're all great - Sigler gets better and better with each novel! You just have to listen to him tell his story ~ then you convulse for more!

[jazzy2062]

I am a junkie, and proud of it. I can't wait until April 1st, so I can get my fix of siglerism, with Infected! I can't get enough of Nocturnal, and I'm very excited about infected.

A Loyal Junkie

[Lockjaw2k]

Sig you sick mofo! Love the moving triangle eye at the beginning. All hail the Dark Overlord! And oh yeah, Save Perry's B . . . guess you'll have to read the book to figure THAT one out!

[loshelljack]

Oh shit yeah!

[FrizBGolf]

"I still podcast every week....." ahhhhh yeah right Sig. I forgot that and the fact you invented the internet.

Paglione

[PerryDawsey]

Junkies unite! Let's get this guy the recognition he deserves. He's the best author I know of - no boudt adout it! If we help him, we may be allowed to live after "the ascension".

[gobleugirl]

Really interesting art with the triangle eye thing. Also, the story sounds pretty sweet. I'll have to pick this up when it comes out.

[dropboxjk]

This is the one... his bald head will soon adorn every courthouse in the country!

[IdealistDan]

Infected rocks.. I've got mine on preorder.. but Nocturnal is the best book yet.. everyone should subscribe to the podcast and check that one out too.

[GazeGirlFX]

Go Future Dark Overlord XD

Can't wait for the book!

[nilling]
