Product Description
Product Description
Set against the backdrop of rural England in the 1980s, "Filth Kiss" is a dizzying plunge into the nightmarish heart of depravity. A man's body is found in the river Severn. Two brothers return to the village of their childhood to pay last respects to a father they barely knew. Broadoak never changes. The same shops sell the same homemade trinkets. The same tongues wag behind the same closed doors. The same souls seek salvation at the bottom of the same pint glasses. The same shadows move along the same streets after closing time. The same malevolence waits to awaken once more. As they fight off their own demons, the brothers discover that the evil within is nothing to be afraid of - what's coming for them is far, far worse.

True Filth!,
By
This review is from: Filth Kiss (Paperback)
Be prepared to be shocked by the author's imagination! However, don't let this put you off - Filth Kiss was one of the best books that I have read in a long time.
The book is full of extreme gore and outlandish horror yet this doesn't get in the way of a gripping storyline with emotional resonance. Be prepared for some very bizarre nightmares!

Snogging the Devil,
By Oliver Redfern (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Filth Kiss (Paperback)
Two brothers in barely speaking terms (one is a paedophile that just got out of prison) travel to a remote town in Gloucestershire for their father's funeral. The town in which they were born, Broadoak, seems at first to be its usual small, boring self; but lurking underneath the doilies is an evil intent on disgusting the reader with extreme acts of violence and sex. Just the thought of the author's mom reading this little piece of filth makes me squirm. But in a good way.
The story is short and to the point, the action barely letting up. Key horror films are influences - Rosemary's Baby, The Wicker Man and even the little known Race with the Devil (this one perhaps unintentionally) - as well as the work of 80s horror writer Guy N. Smith (the father to the brothers was surely named after him.) The novel was originally written for the NaNoWriMo challenge and is of interest to anyone who ever took part in it. It's also an accomplished example in the genre, succeeding in doing everything it says on the tin. The Gloucestershire council might want to consider suing for gross and indecent attempt to scare away tourists.

kissy kissy x,
By
This review is from: Filth Kiss (Paperback)
What an awesome debut. Stumbled across this book by chance in Wasterstone's. Immediately intrigued by the cover and the blurb I decided to buy it. I couldn't put it down, read it in a few hours. It's a macabre mystery set in a sleepy village full of tortuous twists and torturous discoveries. Definitely not for the squeamish but a must if you love a bit of gore. Ps Bridget Drake is the creepiest thing you'll ever encounter. Can't wait for more books by this guy.
