April 19, 2024: In an era where the horror genre continually seeks fresh blood and new nightmares, award-winning author Dan Durkee delivers just that with his latest novel, "Prey." Set against the deceptively serene backdrop of Ft. Lupton, Maine, Durkee's novel invites readers into a world where ordinary life intertwines with the fabric of fear, leading to a thrilling narrative that captures the imagination and pricks the nerves in equal measure.

"Prey" introduces Nick Traverse and his adopted son, Chris, whose lives in the quiet coastal town take a sinister turn when people begin to disappear without a trace. As the mystery deepens and the town's serene façade starts to crumble, Durkee masterfully ramps up the tension, crafting a tale that is as much about the internal struggles of his characters as it is about the external horrors they face.

Dan Durkee, a Fire Chief with 25 years of service in the fire department, brings a unique perspective to his writing. His experience, coupled with a master’s degree in Organizational Leadership, infuses his storytelling with authenticity and depth. It's this blend of real-life heroism and imaginative narrative that has earned Durkee national recognition, including the prestigious Spirit of Excellence Award from AT&T.

A spokesperson for Dan Durkee expressed the author's intent behind "Prey," stating, "Dan has always been fascinated by the power of storytelling to evoke emotions and bring people together. With 'Prey,' he wanted to explore the darker aspects of humanity and the unknown, drawing readers into a world where the line between the real and the unimaginable blurs."

"Prey" is not just a testament to Durkee's storytelling prowess but also a reflection of his lifelong dedication to exploring the human condition, whether it be through the lens of a firefighter confronting physical dangers or an author navigating the complexities of fear and survival. His transition from saving lives to penning tales that captivate and terrify showcases his versatile talent and commitment to impacting readers in profound ways.

Critics and fans alike have praised "Prey" for its elaborate plotting, rich character development, and the palpable sense of dread that permeates its pages. From the eerie calm of Ft. Lupton's coastal setting to the heart-pounding suspense that builds with each chapter, Durkee proves once again why he is a formidable force in the horror genre.
