Product Description
Product Description
After Kyle's ordeal at school, his mother packs him off to the safety of the countryside, where there will be no temptation to use his powers, and he can forget the bad things - like the fact that his dad is a monster determined to destroy the world.
But here's the thing about the countryside: it's full of nature, and nature sometimes has claws.
Followed by a spindly figure in the woods and attacked by crows, Kyle is about to discover that NOWHERE is safe from the invisible fiends…
About the Author
Barry Hutchison hails from the Highlands of Scotland, where he spends time writing screenplays, comics and scary children’s books. He is in his early thirties – but on a good day could easily pass for mid-forties – and lives happily with his long-term partner and young son.
He is tall – but not like the BFG or that – and likes seafood, comics and Elvis, though not necessarily in that order.

I don't think I've ever read a book more suitable for teenage boys than this one (and girls too, of course!). There's blood, guts, gore, continual scares and not an ounce of romance in sight. Don't get me wrong, I like my romance as much as the next girl, but sometimes I like a bit of good old-fashioned horror too. I'm a fan of old school monster movies, and The Crowmaster reminded me of just that. A lot of the thrills and chills were the result of tension building, while numerous deaths provided an ick-factor perfect for readers into action and gruesome ends.
The Crowmaster is the third book in the Invisible Fiends series, and is the first I've read so far. I wondered if I'd be able to follow it without being confused, and I was able to, very easily in fact. Hutchison does reference events previously seen in Mr Mumbles and Raggy Maggie, but he does so by providing a quick explanation too. Because of that I think each book in this series could probably be read as a standalone title, which will surely benefit reluctant readers and those who don't want to have to read a whole series.
Saying that, I'm going to go back and read Mr Mumbles and Raggy Maggie. I want to know what Kyle got up to and where his strange powers originated from. Kyle is one of those characters who doesn't seem to be afraid of much. Even though he's constanstly having to deal with monsters manifesting right in front of him, or family members being found in bloody puddles on the floor, he takes it all in his stride and sets out to save the world from people usually reserved for fictional horror films. At times Kyle's escapes can seem a bit convenient, but maybe time and luck is just on his side.
The Crowmaster isn't short of action or suspense, and it makes for a terrifying, compelling read. I read it straight through with a quick break for sleep, and am now wondering what took me so long to pick up one of these books. A fast-paced plot, memorable characters and smooth writing make it one definitely worth looking out for, but just make sure you don't read it when you're in the house on your own. You never do know what, or who, could be lurking in the shadows...
