Book Description
Humankind is about to change ...
Shrouded by fog for nearly two years, the picturesque village of Paradise harbours more than its share of secrets. Having won a cottage in a competition she can’t remember entering, Chase Black moves to Paradise, only to discover that its beauty is skin deep – murder and madness fester in its shadows. When her travelling companion, Jane mysteriously disappears, she starts asking questions. Why are the villagers behaving so oddly? Who are the strange figures she sees lurking in the fog? As Chase becomes afraid that something terrible has happened, events escalate dangerously out of control. A virtual prisoner; too late she discovers the real reason she’s there ...

A good read enjoyed by my wife and I,
By A Customer
This review is from: Evilution (Paperback)
Not my normal genre - I tend towards Sci Fantasy, but having it suggested I gave it a try. It grabbed me from the first page and absorbed me into really caring about the characters. Too many nights I just had to read another page to see if they were ok.My wifes reading tastes are diametric to mine, but knowing that she enjoyed a chilling tale I passed it to her. She also could not put it down from cover to cover. Her comment was - How can he describe so well, I feel I am there. It takes a good book to hold me, it takes something special to have a sufficiently broad appeal to get both of us. Truly a stunningly good read! We cannot wait for the next offering from Shaun.

Truly Terrifying,
By David Walton (ENGLAND) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Evilution (Paperback)
On a simple level the story is about a woman, Chase Black who wins a house in a competition she doesn’t remember entering, who then finds herself in a strange village, populated by an eerie and quirky group of residents. The village is surrounded by impenetrable fog, and when she discovers the secret horror that is being perpetrated, she tries to escape.Meanwhile, two teenage friends, Ratty and Izzy find themselves lost in the fog, and they soon discover that all is not what it seems. Who are the strange, ghostlike characters lurking within the mist? And what has happened to the residents of Paradise, a village that has been cut off from the rest of civilisation for almost two years? Motivated by the need to find his granddad, a resident of Paradise, Ratty treks through the fog, but what he discovers is more horrifying than anything he could ever imagine. In a lot of ways, the story reminded me of the popular, quirky television series, The Prisoner. With an underlying metaphor on today's society, Evilution ponders some profound questions. Truly thought provoking, I found it a suspenseful story with countless eerie, terrifying moments. I recommend you read it with the lights on and the doors locked

Commendable first novel,
By Tony Brown (Manchester) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Evilution (Paperback)
This is a commendable first novel. If you want to try a new author who can only get better, then I urge you to read this book. I imagine when he wrote this, he was having fun. There are several horror cliches, but I don't think they are meant to be taken seriously. The style of writing is crisp and fast, and the story keeps you guessing. I look forward to seeing more by Shaun Jeffrey.
