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 now the phantom dog is evolving into something altogether more horrifying. Gaining strength and powers by the day, Shuck has developed a gruesome appetite – a hunger he sets out to satiate ...

Wildlife film-maker Harry Lambert needs a serious rest. His best friend is dead, his wife has left him and his career is on the rocks. A spot of bird-watching on the Norfolk coast should help ... but when Harry stumbles into Black Shuck's territory, the hellhound finds the victim it was hunting for ...

Is this in the fiction category? 29 April 2012

By Louandrew

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

What a disappointment. Not the book obviously, just the opportunity to have scared the life out of my companions this time last week.
I'll rewind, each year we go away on a boy's weekend. So where did we choose this year..... The Watch House on Blakeney point. It's whilst we are there that one of the lads mentioned a book, loaned to him about Black Shuck and the Watch House. So, when I get home I buy this book and read it over 2 days.
Well bless me. If it wasn't a perfect description of the area and the house itself. So I speak to the boys and highlight some of the book's passages. I happened to be sleeping in bedroom number 3, one of the boys in the lookout etc. We arrived by boat, we walked the shingle, we went to the Point and we saw many dead seabirds and a small dead pup!
Now imagine how we laughed at the time with one of the blokes (early 30's) went out for a wee (the toilet is correctly called "a loo with a view") and ran in claiming he got scared by seeing "a bear stood by a bush looking at me." How we laughed......

Now read this book, hire the Watch House and remember that line....."I thought i saw a bear by the bush, when I shone a light on it I realised it was not just a bush in the dark but like a bear stood next to it."

Piers Warren is the new M.R. James - totally wonderful book! 12 Oct 2011

By Owlbright

Format: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!!

Compelling 11 Oct 2011

By PQ

Format: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.
