  <default_description>&lt;B  &gt;ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK? YOU WILL BE ...&lt;/B&gt;

Welcome to Safe Haven, Wisconsin. Miles from everything, with one road in and out, this peaceful town has never needed a full-time police force. Until now...

A helicopter has crashed near Safe Haven and unleashed something horrifying. Now this merciless force is about to do what it does best. Isolate. Terrorize. Annihilate. As residents begin dying in a storm of gory violence, Safe Haven's only chance for survival will rest with an aging county sheriff, a firefighter, and a single mom. And each will have this harrowing thought: Maybe death hasn't come to their town by accident...</default_description>

Much like the works of Jim Butcher and David Morrell, Kilborn’s premiere work, AFRAID, is non-stop tension.

    <body><![CDATA[	Afraid is the first horror novel from Jack Kilborn, aka thriller writer, JA Konrath.  While this novel is touted as horror, I see it more of a horror/action hybrid that travels at an unrelenting pace, and is inhabited by likeable heroes and vile villains.  Set during one harrowing evening, Afraid p...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56111713">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[&quot;Afraid&quot; by Jack Kilborn is self-branded as a horror novel. I typically don't enjoy horror novels. In fact, I go out of my way to avoid reading them, unless they're written by Stephen King.
