Dellosso's newest supernatural thriller, Scream, is a fast-paced journey centering on Mark Stone, a man experiencing a personal crisis. Mark’s marriage is falling apart because of his bad decisions while his faith is nonexistent because of the heavy-handed nature of his family.

One potentially-encouraging phone call from a friend does indeed change his life completely—in a bad way. During the conversation, Mark hears screams that he describes as the sound of weeping and gnashing of teeth. Moments later, the friend’s life comes to an end, paving the way for more frightening supernatural experiences. Mark must wrestle with his own failures, his damaged faith and also save his estranged wife from a man bent on revenge, known only as The Judge.

Dellosso, who creates a thrilling and frightening scenario, keeps readers on the edge of their seats while also taking the time to develop characters that draw readers into their world. That's what will make readers want them to succeed, want them to rediscover their faith and want them live.
