Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Suzi Albracht. Some people call me The Queen of Scream. I can hardly wait to show you why.

This is my bio. I have been a writer since I was a little girl. However, it wasn’t until I became one of the walking divorced dead that I started to actually do something with it. For me, there was something healing about writing horror. I got to kill my demons in all sorts of unusual ways. I promise you, only on paper.

My style is to take characters who are very much like your friends, family, and acquaintances and put them into normal, everyday scenarios that turn horribly wrong. My goal is to get my readers to become emotionally involved with the characters and to even be loyal to some of them. I also want the bad guys to be hated with everything you got. If you read me, I think you will find I have met my goal and then some.

I have two collections of books. First up - The Devil’s Due Collection – Death Most Wicked, The Devil’s Lieutenant, and Scorn Kills. An OBX Haunting – A Love Haunting, The Siren of Diamond Shoals, and The Ghost Fixer. Currently, I am writing a political thriller, book four of An OBX Haunting and book four for The Devil’s Due Collection.

My Twitter profile sums me up, short and sweet - Write, scare myself, turn on all lights, write more. Play pool, kick butt/get butt kicked, write more horror, double lock door.

To reach me regarding my book (s) or to just say hello (please, no spam), email me at SuziAlbracht@aol.com or tweet me on Twitter: @SuziAlbracht.

October's Book of the Month!
Albracht proves herself as a horror genre prodigy in not only Death Most Wicked, prequel to The Devil's Lieutenant, but throughout the entire series, The Devil’s Due Collection, as well. She has mastered twists and the ability to write a disturbingly bone cold story line that will keep you awake at night, and wanting more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wickedly Exciting
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2017

Death Most Wicked starts with a valid statement about the human weakness of greed and continues by introducing the reader to various characters, most of whom get killed, some in a way that could be called ceremoniously, until we meet the main character in the novel, Mikail Ruskoff.

Ruskoff is a detective policeman, and one of the cases that lands on his desk concerns one of the 'ceremonial' killings. It transpires that these ceremonious killings have to do with a sect that is affiliated with Devil Worship, and several key characters in the novel are mixed up in it.

The problem escalates when friends and family members of Ruskoff are implicated too. In fact, Mikail Ruskoff's own paternity is also called into question, when he and his mother start to be more honest with each other about their family history, the sect and its local leader.

Eventually, it is a question of who can trust whom, as people are being wiped out all around the main characters in a frenzy of sectarian and probably revenge killings.

Miss Albracht does a wonderful job of building the tension within Death Most Wicked whenever necessary in the novel. I am not sure, but I think that there are at least two novels in this series, but I have not read the other(s) at this point.

The cover is fitting to the story line, as is the title. In fact, the novel is a very professional package.

I give Death Most Wicked full marks despite a few flaws in the editing, which would not have been picked up by a spelling-checker, and look forward to the sequel(s).

5.0 out of 5 stars This horror thriller is creepy to the bone!
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2015

Creepy in so many ways, this book blends murder, mayhem and the paranormal in a bone-chilling story. The pursuit of a child-killer unleashes a series of ghastly events in the life of Detective Mickael Ruskoff. It's not just the grisly murders of children by a deranged killer, but the secrets in his own life that are revealed as events spiral more and more out of control. The well-written story of a police investigation in pursuit of a serial killer morphs into something much more horrific--if that's possible. Death Most Wicked is a dark, disturbing tale that has a surprisingly complex protagonist caught in a tangled web of diabolical circumstances. His character, alone, makes it worthwhile reading more of this author's work. There's an interesting plot line that will keep you wondering what happens next as well. I'm pulling for the detective to outwit the circumstances that have compromised him in the most fundamental human terms. Will he succeed? We'll all have to read more to find out. Five Grippingly Macabre Stars!

4.0 out of 5 stars Death Most Wicked
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2016

Death Most Wicked is part crime fiction (abduction and murder of girls) and part horror (bodies dissolved into a gooey mess). Eventually the two separate homicide stories intertwine, both drawing Detective Mikael Ruskoff further toward an evil secret society, headed by the father who deserted Mikael's family. You get a taste of the unexpected in the beginning, then things appear to be normal homicide. Once the murder of the girls is resolved, the story picks up its pace and takes a turn toward the bizarre.

If you enjoy something out of the ordinary, I think you'll enjoy this book, and the series that follows.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast Paced Supernatural Thriller
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2015

A Homicide Detective experiences a case that will change his life forever. He must make a deal with the Devil in order to find the serial killer who is abducting little girls. Without giving away any spoilers, I can tell you that the book is a real page turner. Thriller, mystery and the supernatural all rolled up into one, what more could you ask for? I read the book in one afternoon not because I am a fast reader or the book was short (It is definitely not short) but that it was that much of a page turner for me and kept me glued right up to the very end. I think that I will be buying the next book in this series because I just have to know how Mikael (can't remember the last name) is going to circumvent the curse or kill Ivanovich. This story has many dark twists and turns, so be forewarned the author is not afraid to kill off a main character.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Creepy Read!

Thinking I’d read this book leisurely over the course of a few days, I started it one evening. After a few minutes I realized two things: I should have begun this during daylight, and I wasn’t going to bed until I finished it! I turned on every light in my house, sat back down and continued.

Rather than tell you what the book is about, you can read that in the description and in the other reviews, I want to tell you how I felt while reading this creepy page-turner. I don’t read a lot of horror because I am a big wimp, BUT if the writing is compelling I can’t resist. Author Suzi Albracht sucked me into the story and didn’t let go until the end. I didn’t take any breaks because I couldn’t stop reading. That is the sign of a talented writer. Read this and be astounded by the plot twists and originality contained within this book.

To give you an idea of what to expect, here’s a quote from the first chapter: “And then he felt it…a twitching, squiggly sensation under his eyelid.”

5.0 out of 5 stars A combination of horror and crime.
Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2017

This is a wickedly entertaining novel. The first death is unexpected and interest reading. Really creepy. Now every time I brush my teeth I'll probably be thinking about this scene. This story blends so many aspects of other genres I think this will appeal to so many readers. There's crime, police investigation, paranormal aspects, as well as the creepy murders of a serial killer. The characters are well written. The reader will empathize with their emotions. There are twists along the way in the story and imagery that will hang around after you are done reading. The ending is a good one and satisfying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!

This is one creepy novel. First you have a man who wants a little sister so desperately he's willing to kidnap children, only to kill them when they refuse to live inside his shed. Then you have this hellish substance that turns victims into puddles of bloody liquid. And in the middle of all this is Mikael Ruskoff, a homicide detective who's charged with solving a seemingly never ending string of murders.

Suzi Albracht has a fantastic imagination, and she does a wonderful job bringing this disturbing tale to life. Twists abound. Characters are connected in ways you least expect. And it's all presented in a way that will leave you on the edge of your seat. (or in my case, my bed) Definitely a novel horror fans will want to check out.

Drawn to this book’s intriguing cover I didn’t realise it was supernatural horror to begin with but by the time I started reading - too late. My knee jerk reaction to the opening chapter was shock and I thought it was pretty gross. Yet in some ways the notion of a man disintegrating into a pool of goo was no worse to some descriptions of death by the ebola virus, so I bit my lip and kept reading… and what an amazing story it turned out to be.

The book is undoubtedly creepy and at the same time intriguing; a crime thriller with a supernatural twist which is unusual. Once the little girls started going missing, I didn’t see the connection but as the story unfolded I began to realise how all these sinister goings on were linked.

The book is well written, the characters very human to the point where they come across as real and you feel their emotions: love, anger, hate and revenge - this is a story told from the heart. Best of all I couldn’t put it down, the story was truly amazing and the short chapters made it impossible to ignore for long, leaving me hankering to read a bit more at every opportunity.
