Joe works at a facility that performs human experimentation.
His work just followed him home.
The government wanted to unlock hidden abilities in the human mind.
They put subjects in extreme sensory deprivation.
All the test subjects went violently insane.
But the research continued.
Today it has been perfected.
Almost perfected.
From the author of In My Father’s Basement comes another chilling novel that's a must-listen for fans of horror. Gruesome, gripping, and terrifyingly real!

Title: What a book!
Review: Intercepts had been on my list for a while. I finally bit the proverbial bullet and bought it for myself. What a great decision! This book was an excellent pick for my first book of the Spooky Season. It delivers in a lot of different areas. It's legitimately scary, it made me feel a great sense of unease throughout it's entirety. The writing is dynamic and engaging. I really like The relatability of Joe's character. At the end I was feeling so conflicted because I really like Joe, but I didn't know if Joe should have done what Joe did. And then the ending...just yes. Incredible. Well done, T.J Payne!

Title: Quick, Creepy Read
Review: Intercepts was chosen as our October book club book because we were looking for something creepy to read this month. I could not stop reading it! I finished in two days. Each chapter raises suspense, intrigue, new theories, and a desire to continue reading. The prose is descriptive and vivid, but doesnât try to be overly poetic. Great read if youâre looking for something quick & creepy!

Title: interesting
Review: The concept of this was very interesting and Iâve seen it recommended so often and went into it thinking Iâd really enjoy this. Iâm kind of reminded of Tender is the Flesh in the dehumanizing humans aspect of this novel. Human experiments are being done in a government testing center where Joe works. Itâs giving what those scientists were doing to Eleven in Stranger Things/Homelander in The Boys but rather than flying/superstrength/etc theyâre trying to make humans âinterceptâ valuable intelligence from enemy governments. Itâs very sci-fi, body horror, thriller, and twisty but I still didnât LOVE it and I felt like it was sort of lackluster to me. Iâm glad other people really liked it but it just didnât blow me away but I did like it enough.

Title: This was a fun read.
Review: This is like the Russian Sleep Experiments / Minority Report type thriller. Not very scary or gory, just a little bit of âexcitementâ when things start getting crazy. I havenât read many horror novels and I donât know if I am a fan. This was a good read. It was a bit slow for me. Had just enough âexcitementâ to keep me dedicated to finishing the book. I would recommend this to anyone who likes books that have a moral dilemma.

Title: Great story
Review: I liked this book. It was very imaginative. I wonder if being called a horror novel has turned anyone off to reading it. I donât think itâs a horror novel, but probably thriller. I donât think Iâve ever read anything quite like this. Would recommend!

Review: I am honestly surprised with the way things ended in this book. It left me with a sense of satisfaction, not because I'm glad that whatever happened to the characters, happened, but because it's just honestly a good and/ FITTING/ending to the story.Yes, at the beginning it was quite hard to read (a bit boring imo), but one you get to the middle mark with Riley... IT GOT SO GOOD (imo)!!!Very pleased with my read!

Review: After reading the prologue, this book hooked me so much I read all of its 300 pages in a single day, and normally I'd consider myself a slow reader.This story is labeled horror, but don't be mistaken, it is not the kind to give you nightmares. The horror aspect is overall very light, but the story beneath it, with all it's twist and turns, is what shines the most. It's a must read for anyone who likes good books.

Review: This book is unnerving. Itâs gross. Itâs scary. And itâs pretty damn good!Intercepts tells the story of Joe, a supervisor at a top-secret government facility that performs experimentation on human test subjects. Kept in extreme sensory deprivation, these human guinea pigs are essentially tortured into having outer body experiences which help the government locate and thwart terrorists, war lords and various other criminals.Unfortunately for Joe, one of the âantennasâ as the test subjects are called, figures out who Joe is and uses her out of body experience ability to find and terrorize his wife and daughter.Itâs been decades since I read a horror novel that truly deserves the classification âhorrorâ as much as Intercepts does. As I am incredibly squeamish about torture and any kind of human experimentation or imprisonment, this book bothered me on a whole other level. Brilliantly written and well-paced, it hooks you from the very first page and keeps walloping you with believable, well-executed twists and turns until the end. For days afterward, I kept peeking around corners in my house half expecting to see âBishopâ standing at the end of the hallway screaming at me. Payne also didnât give any of his characters truly happy endings so it ends by giving you a hard gut punch which I appreciated.Would I recommend this book? Absolutely yes!!!! If you love horror and a bit of blood and guts, go buy this book right now.

Review: Ein Horrorroman in einem gut beschriebenen Labor-Setting und guter Story, echt toll erzählt. Halb Sci-Fi, halb Horror, ein wirklich tolles Buch. Hat mich ein bisschen an Minority Report erinnert. mit dem Twist, dass die Precogs sich gegen ihre Meister wenden. Nicht alles wird am Ende aufgelöst, aber das ist bei der Geschichte nicht ganz so unbefriedigend wie sonst. Das Buch kann man nur empfehlen!
