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-read for fans of horror. "Gruesome, gripping, and terrifyingly real!"

REVIEWS:
"A sick, fresh twist on the usual thriller/horror genre"

"Like watching a horror film"

"Refreshingly original"

"A page turner you won't want to put down"

"No book has ever made goosebumps run down my spine this much."

Title: Great Novel!
Review: I quickly became enthralled by this book and could not put it down. The writing is clear and transitions smoothly, while the descriptions are vivid. I love the pace of the book, feels like a thriller because it kept me at the edge of my seat. Great read! I will be reading this author’s other works.

Title: Great thriller!
Review: My reading has slowed down a little these past couple of months but I had seen this at the top of the thriller list for awhile and I decided to buy it. Honestly it’s probably closer to a 7.7/10 but it was pretty solid! The pacing was great and never seemed to drag on. Made for a really good slump buster!

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: interesting
Review: The concept of this was very interesting and I’ve seen it recommended so often and went into it thinking I’d really enjoy this. I’m 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. It’s giving what those scientists were doing to Eleven in Stranger Things/Homelander in The Boys but rather than flying/superstrength/etc they’re trying to make humans “intercept” valuable intelligence from enemy governments. It’s very sci-fi, body horror, thriller, and twisty but I still didn’t LOVE it and I felt like it was sort of lackluster to me. I’m glad other people really liked it but it just didn’t blow me away but I did like it enough.

Title: LOVED
Review: I can't hype this book up enough through an Amazon review. It was amazing. There may have been a few times where it struggled to keep my attention but, boy was I hooked during the second half of the book. I went through a range of emotions reading this, especially towards the end. And the end itself? Phenomenal. A master-piece. It couldn't have had a better ending, in my opinion. There are happy scenes, creepy scenes, shocking scenes, sad scenes. Just read it. Oh, and there's no animal cruelty if you're worried about that.

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 doesn’t try to be overly poetic. Great read if you’re looking for something quick & creepy!

Title: Superb storytelling. 4.5 stars
Review: This book really surprised me with how good it was. The characters were very distinct and believable. The way they reacted was spot on. I suspect the author did some research or has direct experience with things that may cause severe anxiety, because the little details of how the characters behaved under these conditions was perfect. Such as when Hannah is hiding in the break room and she struggles to control her breathing. She'd alternate between forgetting to breathe and taking in giant gulps of air. Anyone who has experienced severe anxiety for any reason likely knows how accurate this is.I also loved how creepy Bishop was. If you love eerie horror with tons of blood and gore, this is for you.That said, I'll get into the reason I took a star. The book could have used a slightly better line editor. The copyediting was flawless, but a few things could have been said better.For example: When we're reading from Tyler's perspective and he notices the fingernails at the base of the door, it says that the antennas had torn them off when trying to scratch through the door "without even noticing." This is something that should have been said from the perspective of someone who saw it and would know such a detail. Hannah could have been the one to notice this and it would have worked better.There's also a line that reads, "Joe climbed into his hot, sun-heated pickup." Obviously, this is a redundancy. I, personally, would have and replaced it with a comparison. Something like, "Joe climbed into his sun-heated pickup and was immediately struck with the suffocating sensation of entering a sauna—not that there had been time for such leisure since he began working at the Facility."There was a small handful of such phrases that just could have been improved with a good line editor. There is also a developmental problem toward the end. Why did Bishop kill herself but all the other antennas rampaged through the Facility when they were taken off the gas? This never really gets explained. Perhaps she had just had more of the pain than she could take over the years, since she had been used more, but this should have been explained.Still, these small oversights were not nearly so numerous or glaring as to distract from an excellent story. The ending was immensely satisfying and revealed interesting details. The author is undeniably talented and to say I enjoyed the book is an understatement. I strongly recommend Intercepts to all horror fans.

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!

Title:
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. It’s gross. It’s scary. And it’s 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 “antennas” 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.It’s been decades since I read a horror novel that truly deserves the classification “horror” 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 “Bishop” standing at the end of the hallway screaming at me. Payne also didn’t 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!
