Book Description

Publication Date: 4 Oct 2012 | Series: Hammer

'Your children will die. Your community will die. To give me back my life.'

The small rural community of Shettle has fallen into a decline. It is rife with crime and its inhabitants plagued by ill-fortune. When the Circus of Nights arrives the people are drawn to it like moths to a flame: it's as though they are bewitched.

Only four men realise that there is something terribly wrong. And as the town is enclosed in a barrier of 'sickness' through which no one can enter or leave, they must do their utmost to protect their loved ones, before it's too late...

4.0 out of 5 stars Modern update of a classic Hammer Horror movie 24 April 2013
By C. Hughes
Format:Kindle Edition
I was pleasantly surprised that this was a modern update of a much-loved Hammer Horror classic.
It was fun, although far-fetched, and the ending was a bit of a damp squib, but I enjoyed it

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Writing 3 Oct 2012
By Gareth Wilson - Falcata Times Blog TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
Having had a real hard time with some of the Hammer Horror book adaptations its come almost as a relief to have a book that's based on one of the films that I'm not that familiar with, yes I know the name and who starred (Anthony Higgins (or Corlan as he was then) as well as the lovely Adrienne Corri) but that was about it.

So targeting this title with a clean slate was a wonderful blessing. It worked very well, the characters jumped off the pages into my imagination and the authors writing style in my opinion complimented a screenplay very well allowing it to skip off the pages.

Back that up with a few modern touches, some wonderfully evocative visuals within and all in this for me is perhaps the best Hammer film to book adaptation to date. Great stuff.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good updating of the film 30 Nov 2012
By Mark West
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Ten years ago, in the rural community of Shettle, four men helped to kill a vampire called Karl Mitterhaus. He vowed revenge - “your children will die!” - before his body was consumed by fire. Today, Shettle has fallen into decline, its residents plagued with ill fortune and when the Circus of Nights rolls into town, entrancing the public, those four men - a newspaper editor, a doctor, a teacher and a private investigator - know that they must protect their own children against supernatural forces. Part of the resurgence of the Hammer brand, this novelisation (fearlessly - and cleverly - modernised) works well - the location is clearly defined, the characters are well drawn, the circus is scary, the set pieces are well realised and the climax races along. Also, since Mark Morris wrote this, the writing is as high a calibre as you’d expect, though it is let down by some odd editing choices - the first Circus of Nights is over very quickly, characters remind themselves a lot that they can’t remember the events of the prologue and everyone accepts as granted the ‘sickness barrier’ (didn’t anyone from the outside world notice?). Those quibbles aside, this is good fun and worth a read and it’d be nice to see Morris tackle another Hammer classic in the future.
