AISFP 223 – Peter Stenson, FIEND

Timothy C. Ward interviews Peter Stenson, author of FIEND, from Crown Publishing, Tim’s favorite read so far this year. He reviewed FIEND at SF Signal and cannot wait for you to discover this debut author. Horror, and even zombies, were not exactly Tim’s preference for a late summer read, but Peter’s story refused to let him go and only got better as the ending left him reeling. It’s also no wonder the same editor that worked with Peter, Julian Pavia, also edited READY PLAYER ONE, and the EX-HEROES series. For those who have read FIEND, there is a spoiler section at the thirty minute mark (clearly warned), where I get to ask him about the ending and other behind the scenes topics.
