Critics Review
“If you’re the slightest bit freaked out by conspiracy theories or even just the kind of person who keeps a little sticker over the webcam on your laptop, you should read Intercepts.”—Cosmopolitan
“Intercepts is the best kind of genre novel—inventive, scary, wholly entertaining, and deeply thought provoking. T.J. Payne is the real deal.”—Jose Molina, writer and producer on The Vampire Diaries, Sleepy Hollow, and Firefly
“This one reads like sprinting down a dark hallway barefoot, waiting for the broken glass.”—BookTrib
“This is contemporary horror at its finest, with a concept that feels terrifyingly real. Payne balances horror and sci-fi with a mastery of both genres. Intercepts is proof that hidden government facilities can be far more terrifying than any haunted house.”—A. M. Shine, author of The Watchers
“Intercepts is a five-star for me. I loved this book. I loved the protagonist. I loved the twists and turns it took.”—Nick Roberts, author of The Exorcist’s House
“This book really messed with my head and genuinely freaked me out. It will make you question everything.”—Brandon Baker, atbaker.reads on TikTok
