Praise for Syndrome:
"If you like horror, Syndrome will slake your thirst for the macabre. Well enjoyed by this reader." -Bloody Mary, Cocktail Reviews
"[Syndrome] offers its readers only brief moments of solace, barely long enough to bite your lower lip, and brace for the next gore-fest." - L. B. Gooddard, The Monsters Next Door
"James Patrick Riser writes a clever, adrenaline-filled, psychological thriller that will surely shock and entertain readers leaving them to want more.

". . . Riser has taken the genre one step above and beyond the grotesque . . .not for the squeamish." - Wes Laurie, Terror Tube
