Steel Machines

Prague, 1945 Eight year old Otto Braum is the sole survivor of the massacre that claimed his parents and left him sustaining himself as best he can in the ruined attic hideout above his childhood home. But Otto is not alone. His father had a secret-a creation, unfinished, that he left behind. A secret that is pitiless in nature, relentless in design. A secret with the heart of a steel machine. From the Amazon best selling author of Down Into the Sea and These Things Linger comes a horrifying reimagining of the story of the golem. Part I Am Legend and part Caging Skies, STEEL MACHINES is an unrelentingly tense tale of haunting, of vengeance... and of survival at any cost. "Both Intimate and epic, brutal but beautiful, unapologetic yet restrained... STEEL MACHINES is a perfect novel." - Nick Roberts, bestselling author of The Exorcist's House, Mean Spirited, and the upcoming Lyla, in the Flesh "A heartbreaking tale of survival amidst tragedy and horror, this is a beautifully written dark fantasy that will remain with you long after you've read the last word. Highly recommended!" - Tim Waggoner, internationally acclaimed author of The World Turns Red "Steel Machines is one of the most original books I've read this year. Dan Franklin's brain will be the envy of all horror authors!" - Judith Sonnet, author of Summer Never Ends "This is the best kind of horror." - Leigh Kenny, best selling author of Cursed, and Hush, My Darling "If this was made into a movie, it would be an international blockbuster." - MJ Mars, best selling author of The Suffering and The Fovea Experiments
