Note from the author: Variables is a blend of several genres. Please note that there are horror elements and some graphic and intense violence. If you’re ok with that, I think you’ll enjoy it.”

“Variables by Silas Ritter is an awesome read by a debut author where there is honestly no telling what’s going to happen. A mix between sci-fi and a psychological thriller it’s a heart-pounding read that leaves the reader angry, horrified, and most of all deeply invested. I’d call Variables a binge read, but the author is so skilled at pacing, plot, and characters that you aren’t actually aware of the fact that you’re binging anything.

“What I do know is that once I picked it up, I couldn’t put it down, and I’d recommend it to everyone who loves horror, sci-fi, and thrillers!”

About Silas Ritter

Silas Ritter was born and raised in New England. A graduate of film school, he was an aspiring screenwriter for the better part of two decades. Limited financial success in film and a love of writing is what led him to authoring a book.

Ritter has been involved in music and television production and held a number of very boring, menial, and uninteresting jobs, many of which allowed him to put together stories in the monotony. Ritter enjoys studying and analyzing religion, society, cultural norms, and the supernatural.

He’s neither a believer nor a skeptic, just an observer.
