Product Description

The Butcher's Boy

Winner of the 2011 Readers Favorite Award 'Silver Medal' in Horror - Fiction
                 

Thirty-one years ago, Buxly the Butcher went to trial for killing his entire family. He was found guilty, and sentenced to die for those crimes. Now, Janet Hale, a recently divorced nurse, has purchased the house unaware of the brutal murders that took place there so long ago. 
 
From the moment she, her eleven-year-old son, and his overprotective Rottweiler move in, bad things start to happen. A strange man is caught lurking in the back yard, and the only neighbor turns out to be a crazy old widow. But not everything is going wrong. During the move, Janet meets a handsome charmer. She likes him enough to start dating again, leaving a sitter to watch over her son. 
 
When Michael, and his dog, Lucy-Fur, learn firsthand that their home is haunted by one of the victims of the Butcher's grisly act, Michael scours the internet and the local library to find out what happened back then. Maggie, the sitter, brings over a Ouija board and they soon find out that there is more than one dark spirit on the haunt.  
 
Can Lucy-Fur protect her boy from the angry ghost that wants to possess him? Can Michael fight through the madness and terror to find out what really happened? If he does, maybe the tormented souls can be put to rest and his mom can keep the house that she seems to love. If he fails, he just might become one of them. With the help of Maggie, and a burned out house painter, Michael is going to try. The problem is, not everyone is who they seem...            even the dead.  
 This isn't your average haunted house novel. 
 
The Butcher's Boy by Michael Robb...      Take a slow ride into terror!

Format:Kindle Edition
what can i say.wow this book was great.i couldnt put it down but had to come bed time as i found it scary.its the first whole book ive read in a while on the kindle as im very impaitent and if a book doesnt get my attention straight away its easy to just download another but this hooked me from the first page.i loved it and got rid of my yearning for a good read but now has replaced it with i want more from this writer.i did feel that in a few places i could predict what was gonna happen and felt that i had seen or heard it before but apart from that well done.thanks for such a good read.

Where do I start. WOW a great story. This book will hook you from the first page and you will not want to put it down. It gave me chills literally. You feel like you're actually in the book with the characters it's totally amazing. I haven't read a scary supernatural book like this one which gives you goosebumps for a long time (in fact I can't think of another book which actually makes me shiver). I would highly recommend it you won't be disappointed. Huge congratulations to Michael Robb Mathias on a great book. Can't wait to read your next book.
