Product Description

Black Shuck - The Devil's Dog - a terrifying new supernatural thriller by Piers Warren set in the village of Blakeney on the North Norfolk coast. For centuries Black Shuck has patrolled the coastal paths of Norfolk - a spectral portent of death. But recent events have allowed the massive phantom dog to evolve, to metamorphose, into something altogether more horrifying. Gaining strength and powers by the day, Shuck has developed a gruesome appetite - a hunger the hell hound sets out to satiate ... Wildlife film-maker Harry Lambert needs a serious rest. His colleague and best friend is dead, his wife has left him and his career has derailed. A spot of bird-watching on the Norfolk coast should help... but when Harry stumbles into Black Shuck's territory, the fearsome beast finds what it was looking for ...

Owlbright "Owlbright" (England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Black Shuck: The Devil's Dog (Paperback)

A gripping plot with great central characters - Black Shuck scares from the beginning. I recommend this to everyone who loves good writing and who loves to be frightened out of their wits!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling, 11 Oct 2011

PQ "book worm" (Norfolk) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Black Shuck: The Devil's Dog (Paperback)

Well... I couldn't put the book down and read it from cover to cover in a day. The descriptions within the book as to the location are amazingly detailed and brilliantly described, creating a solid mental image of where the characters are based. I love how the book has the element of a ghost story but doesn't have to rely on it to make it a compelling read. The writing is wonderful, sparse and precise. Mr Warren doesn't use a dozen words where one will do and I really admire him for this
It shows the lead character metamorphosis gradually from insecure person whose faced a rough phase in his life caught up in all the hype of his own problems to transcend into the actual reality of what he begins to face, the acceptance of situations which incompass not only reality but the supernatural as well as he realises he has to fight for not only his life and sanity but for those he has come to care for. This book plays on fear, human fear, fear of being alone and the fear when you realise you're not.

5.0 out of 5 stars Black *Shock* ! Terrifying stuff., 11 Oct 2011

Harcourt (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Black Shuck: The Devil's Dog (Paperback)

How to review this compelling read, without spoilers? The plotting is so deftly-crafted that everything, right from the outset, seems to feed into the tumultuous climax. The cover-image acknowledges Shuck's kinship with `Hound of the Baskervilles' but Warren offers so much more here: an extraordinary solidarity and sense of landscape (Norfolk), a spectrum of intriguingly-flawed characters, lashings of satanic suspense, and a `lady in red' who will have Chris deBurgh fans barring their doors in terror.

Don't be fooled by the gentle, nature-oriented start: this is a relentlessly `wild' life tale. Wind and weather are masterfully evoked, operating like characters - malignant ones - in their own right. And the canine `Black Shuck' myth, upon which Warren grows his gruesome grafts, has its roots in centuries of authentically spooky folklore.

Each one of these 290+ pages shouts `cinematic' and it's no surprise to find out from the author's website that he leads a double life as a film-maker. Though Warren's authorial `voice' is thoroughly British, the battle for movie-rights will surely be won the other side of the pond - so cast it mentally, as you read, with Hollywood stars who can really handle slow-burning English menace. I trust Piers Warren has a sequel in the pipeline: this novel left me transfixed.
