Advantages: Gripping read
Disadvantages: Not for vegetarians

...some of Hutson`s work. Although I think he is in the same league as such writers his style is entirely his own. Erebus is a brilliant read that I have read twice now, and I would not hesitate in reading it again. Sweet dreams and don`t have nightmares. ... Read review

Advantages: Hutson back on form
Disadvantages: None

...plane/beach/at the villa/etcetera. I spotted Hell To Pay in a rack of paperbacks. I decided to give it a go. What did I have to lose? It's free to borrow from the library, so if it's rubbish; c'est la vie. It wasn't rubbish. It was great. A return to form. A return to the good old days of sex and violence, troubled maverick coppers and underlying supernatural terror. Here's a summary of the plot and characters: DI Alan Fielding is investigating ...
...was a nice touch. Hell To Pay retails at £6.99, which is the going rate for a paperback. I got it out of the library for free. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes horror fiction, particularly if you enjoy urban British horror. I also recommend you join your local library.

Advantages: Graphic detail
Disadvantages: All books must end

Lucy's Child was the second Shaun Hutson book that I bought and because his books are so good i now own lots of them. This book is fully of graphic gory detail which many authors do not include in thier stories. I absolutuely loved it and could read it again and again. The story as with all of Hutson's books are amazing and the end of every chapter leaves you NEEDING to read the rest. I just could not put this book down and read it within a week ... Read review

Advantages: Entertaining with a good twist to the end
Disadvantages: None really

...their opinion were better and Hybrid was one of those so I took the plunge. When I got the book I was a bit worried about the cover as if I had seen this on a bookshelf I would have assumed it was a horror story and left it well alone however the reviewer and the blurb on the back suggested something different so I switched all the lights on in the house (just incase) and started to read. It was only after I finished the book that I noticed it does ...
...the case I would say it is at the mild end of the horror spectrum. The Plot The plot evolves around one single character, a once famous writer Christopher Ward whose career is very much in decline. He leads a solitary life in a rather large house struggling with periods of writers block as he struggles to write his latest novel. Increasingly he seeks to find comfort in alcohol and the occasional sexual encounter with a prostitute other than that ... Read review

Advantages: Great book, couldn't put it down.
Disadvantages: Sometimes a little harrowing.

I have had this book on my book shelf for about 5 years, and I finally got around to reading it recently. I wasn't to sure from the blurb if it was a book I wanted to read, as it contains "scenes" of child abuse and suicide. I discovered on reading it also contains references to witch craft and black magic. Not to mention satanic rituals. I was pleasantly surprised though that Shaun Hutson, the author of this brilliant book, didn't over elaborate ...
...be said of the suicides too. This book is, in brief, about the police trying to discover why 3 ordinary professional men, a surveyor, an accountant and an architect, all commit suicide. All 3 appear to be happy and successful, so why would they all want to kill themselves? That is the question Chief Inspector James Talbot has to answer. Also trying to solve the mystery is Catherine Reed, a journalist. She becomes involved when her lover, Philip ... Read review
