"Andrew Lennon is a rising star of horror." - Iain Rob Wright, author of the Hell on Earth series

Dave is a middle aged waste of space. His days drip away in a haze of drinking, smoking and stealing from his mother. But one night the sound of screams disturbs Dave’s habitual living, and everything changes. Something evil is on the loose, snatching people from the comfort of their own homes. Dave’s neighbour’s, his family, his friends are suddenly vanishing. No one is safe. Unfortunately for Dave, it’s up to him to put a stop to it. Even if it kills him.

I liked this, I thought it was going to be a supernatural type of story but it ended up going in a different direction. the ending was a to be expected, but it was still a good story.

I really enjoyed reading this book, especially the second half which was not for those who hate horror and gore (in which case you should read other books than those in the horror category).

The books opens with the story of Dave, a promising athlete, heading for athletic glory, but things go horribly wrong in his life and key male figures leave and Dave is left with an empty gap in his heart and his life. He becomes an angry, selfish and horrible young man (sadly).

His life degenerates into days and nights of yelling and ordering his mother around, drinking beer, eating junk food and devouring horror movies, technically he's probably depresses but nobody suggested he see the doctor. He had a lovely relationship with a real go-getter girlfriend too who eventually gets sick of watching him become a lazy couch potato that doesn't even notice her anymore.

This is the build up to the....bad stuff. Could NOT wait for the bad stuff.

His world is turned inside out when a next door neighbour vanishes and the police describe the crime scene during questioning, suddenly Dave is living a nightmare himself imagining things, unable to sleep and feeling he is going crazy.

Then it gets bad, really bad for him, but I can't tell.

When the horror aspect of the book slides in, it's really clever, it really give me the chills and I took some sick enjoyment from watching lazy bones Dave getting the frights of his life. Then it gets really personal for Dave, oh yes, VERY personal.

I will not share more plot but from here the writing is a cut above the rest of the book, this author has a talent with writing and helping us visualise the most horrific of situations that a human being could tolerate. What is Dave to do not. You might be as surprised as I was.

Some of the props used in scenes were just so darn creepy and I did not expect the plot to go where it did but it was a real thrill ride!

One of the scenes at the end of the book reminded me of a very recent scene that was similar in an episode of the brilliant TV series "Hannibal" and THAT is a show that blow the mind with visual horror until you feel you can't take anymore.

I felt the first half of the book built on Dave's character which was important for the latter half of the book but was torn between a final 3 or 4 star final rating. I went with 4 stars on the back of the latter half of the book which I thought was great, so much adrenalin for the reader, a book where you can yell "it's behind you!!!"

Certainly has the gore factor, the horror factor, the scare factor and all that you would want. Being not as long as a novel, this is a great book to just get stuck into and escape into until you are out the other side.

Nice work Mr Lennon, you have a new fan here in the Booklover Catlady. Keep the great writing up, I plan to read it all.

Thanks to Andrew Lennon for my copy of this book to read and review, hugely appreciated.

***** Heads up, spoilers may be present in this review. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK ****

I found this in by Books of Horror group and wasn't sure what to expect other than gore and violence. Had my attention there and I love the cover. It invites all sorts of fearful images, especially given we've got a creepy ice cream truck that roams our neighborhood, sprouting its disjointed music and sun-faded stop for children.

My biggest complaint is that for about the first 50 pages, we were being told how awful Dave is. It's only 136 pages. That's a really big chunk to spend making us dislike the MC right off the bat. A lot of it was backstory that would have been better off peppered through the rest of the story and maybe just a chapter about him preying on his poor mother. Also, in the same chapters, we'd switch to other characters' views and the back again without a sense of it being because of an omniscient narrator, just an inconsistency of narration. That first portion really made it difficult to get into the story.

But I pushed through because the group's enthusiasm and that this is not a largely known rider drove me to continue. I'm glad I did. The action started picking up and I enjoyed the tension being created. I would have liked to see the hunt carry further, more exploration into the fear that maybe Dave was a suspect. I feel like for a story with so many missing folks, and especially recent missing folks, there should have been more attention . It's one thing for a person to go missing in a neighborhood with a high profile detail like blood soaking the floor and mattress and everywhere else, but to have multiple... seems this is an avenue that could have been explored further. Meaning, I would have enjoyed more cause the tension being craeted was great and had me leaning forward. When he's waiting in the bushes.... yikes!

I enjoyed the killer. I enjoyed the build up and playout of the "final showdown". It was a fun read. Took me less than an hour to complete so would be great for a car ride or a beach read. The gore scenes are brief so if you've got a sensitive stomach, it's not overwhelming.

And if I could change a specific detail, it would be the kid's name at the end. I didn't like it in Harry Potter, but it made even less sense here. Why would the kid be named after someone she didn't know who's death broke the person she loved? Seemed like a pretty bow to wrap up the story when it wasn't really needed. The MC's response to surviving was enough of a wrap-up.

Anyway, it was a fun read. There are definitely some things I would like to see changed but overall, if you're looking for something fun to kill some time with, I would recommend this.
