Product Description
Review
'This offering from Hutson is a hybrid in both name and nature, and is well worth reading for the cleverness of the plotting and the sheer page-turning compulsion of the climactic section' - GOOD BOOK GUIDE ** 'Hutson cleverly intermingles Ward's unravelling life with the violent corpse-strewn life of the book within its pages. The ending should be predictable, yet somehow it isn't. Exciting stuff from the 'Godfather of Gore' - SFX Magazine
What's On In London

Format:Hardcover
I own every book written by Shaun.
Usually the book is never put down and is always an exciting read right to the very end with sweaty palms etc.
For some reason I feel Shaun lost his way a little....the ending is very poor to say the least. I wont tell you the ending for those of you still reading it...all I can say is not up to the usual brilliant exciting read.
What a disappointment, lets hope the next one is better and this is just a lapse

I am a great fan of SH but I was disapointed by this novel,
usually I cant put his books down but this time all I wanted to do was put it down.
So similar to some of his other work easy to work out and what was going to happen next .
shame

Format:Paperback
Hell to Pay is a quick blast. It has no depth, no likeable characters, stretches plausible coincidence to the maximum and despite all these flaws, somehow produces a bit of a page-turner. Shaun Hutson is a seasoned writer and can add just enough plot elements to ensure you see it through, which in this case is a child with an unusual disease. This element creates a small hook in an otherwise uninspiring novel. It's short, although not sweet and an easy way to kill a few hours.

Too many loose ends
I'm still relatively new to Mr. Hutson's books, this being only the 2nd of his I've read. What I'm loving about his novels is the sheer speed at which they can be read - and the... Read more

Hell to pay? Certainly is - just borrow from libary..
This is a poorly written and poorly plotted book. The characters are nasty and you really don't care what happens to them. Read more
