In Jason Gehlert’s horror-thriller Contagion, a deadly, unknown virus spreads through a leper colony in Africa, transforming its victims into zombie-like monsters, until their bodies break down.
Before long a small team of scientist show up, along with the US military, and that’s when the fun begins. And by fun, I mean brutal violence, sex, and a bunch of killing.
Contagion is a fast-paced chiller. Author Gehlert has filled the pages with break-neck action. At a slim 213 pages, Contagion delivers the wallop of a much longer book. Picture a Clive Cussler book, for example, with the boring parts left out.
While Contagion is never boring, it is poorly edited. In some sections, it reads like the first draft of a novel, full of grammatical errors, clunky dialogue and odd word choices. It was enough to frequently pull this reader out of the story.
However, it is clear that Gehlert has some genuine storytelling passion. I hope he can find a good editor to help him elevate his work to the next level.

On 11.7.10 Everything Changes
I've experienced some exhilarating episodes lately, which has led me down a darker, refined path of literary achievement. My next collection, a supernatural, etheral, paranormal, and sprawling with ghosts and entities, has become one of my personalized signatures, a body of work that offers many talented voices. A tapestry of horror, loves lost, lives lost, angry spirits, demonic hunters, and even a bus ride to hell. From Black Bed Sheet Books, Nicholas Grabowsky brings forth Jason Gehlert, Tammy Gehlert, and Robert Milby in a brand new collection that will stir the spirits and shatter your reality.
On 11.7.10 the other side will open...
