Michael Danvers' life of self-imposed seclusion is interrupted when he receives a strange invitation: the unique opportunity to move into and beta-test a fully automated, state-of-the-art smart home. A true marvel of modern innovation, the house is controlled by a sophisticated AI that ensures all routine tasks are taken care of, limitless forms of entertainment are just a voice command away, and nearly every physical need is met with efficiency. But soon Michael realizes that what at first presented itself as a futuristic utopia may be quickly devolving into a technological prison. The very best kind of horror. A mirror on paper. - Jonathan Edward Durham, author of Winterset Hollow A futuristic horror novel with a human heart and a computer brain. It's intelligent, disquieting, and seeping with originality. Prepare to be devoured by Sammy's unparalleled writing. - Gage Greenwood, author of Bunker Dogs Fans of Black Mirror and Ex Machina will find plenty to fear in this tale of a smart home with a monkey paw mission to give its occupant whatever he desires. Yet like the best suspense, BETA is also infinitely human. - Andrew Van Wey, author of Head Like a Hole Taking bits of Ray Bradbury, Charlie Kaufman, and Stephen King, Scott delivers a strategically paced mind-bender of sci-fi terror. - Nick Roberts, author of The Exorcist's House BETA is a master class in storytelling, a perfect example of how to build suspense with each turn of the page.
- John Durgin, author of The Cursed Among Us
