Product Description

Product Description

EREBUS Wakely was just a small farming community, but something was desperately wrong - with the livestock and with the people. Suspicion points to the Venderburg Chemicals Group, as it seeks to protect its interests - no matter what the cost to Wakely or, indeed, to mankind. And who would have thought that red meat could be quite so deadly...? VICTIMS Some are born to be murder victims. Frank Miller, special effects man for countless horror films, knows this. Blinded in a bizarre accident but given the transplanted eyes of a murderer, Miller is disturbed to find he can spot potential victims. However, as they search for a maniacal killer, the police ignore Miller's offers of help. As the body count rises, Miller becomes a target. But will he stop the carnage, or become the next casualty?

4.0 out of 5 stars Night Of The Living Dead Hutson Style!, 7 Jun 2004
By Chris Hall "Dreadlocksmile" (Cardiff, Wales) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Erebus (Mass Market Paperback)
I actually thought that this book was a very good novel. Obviously we're still talking about a Hutson novel here, so don't expect an outstanding stardard of writing or an incredibly complex and intelligent plot, but do expect the usual blood, gore and horror along with the hot firery liquid burning down 'his' throat and knots of muscles tighting in characters jaws...as you would expect from evey Hutson novel. I think the reason I particularly like this one is because you can tell that he really enjoyed writing it. You know when you're a kid and you first watch Night of the Living Dead and afterwards, you imagine that you're stuck in the house with Ben and the rest of them. You make up this whole story in your head, based around the film, as you lie there in bed with your eyes closed. Well Hutson's gone that stage further and actually brought that Night of the Living Dead inspired fantasy back to life. And you can tell he's loving every second of it! As will you. So, do give it a read....we're talking about some really light, horror enterainment here!

5.0 out of 5 stars The warning against GM foods, 16 Dec 2003
This review is from: Erebus (Mass Market Paperback)
As a big fan of Shaun Hutson's work, my first expectation was that I would get a well written novel, something that would draw me in, something that would engage me until the last page.

Naturally, this he did, with his usual input of violence, gore, romance and all that other good stuff.

The novel is based around the character of Tyler, who, after the recent death of his father moves back to the farm he had left to work in the city. However, due to the tampering of a local company of the livestock's food, it causes them to act with cannibalistic tendencies, described in Shaun's usual way.

The chemicals put into the food transfers itself into the humans who eat the animals, with hazardous consequences. These consequences, obviously I would rather not go into, without spoiling the book, but I will say this: Shaun offers a very feasible explanation for one of horror's greatest, and perhaps oldest myths.

An excellent read, perhaps one of Shaun's best works. Highly recommended

4.0 out of 5 stars Brillaint ad Scary!, 31 July 2002
By Stuart Connell (Bradford, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Erebus (Mass Market Paperback)
If your into Survival Horror video games this is the book for you, this game in some way reminds me of the Resident Evil video game series as it contains an evil corporation (Vandenburg Chemicals) and infected civilans in the small rural town of Wakely. This is the first Shaun Hutson novel ive read and he did not fail to scare me with his detailed descriptions of gore and intense moments i am now about to read "Slugs" which i cannot wait to read. If you like intense well written horror stories then i can reccomend this book. Well done to Shaun Hutson.

5.0 out of 5 stars Execellent fun. Laughs and Horror is always a good mix.
I read this book a long time ago, but it is still vivid in my mind. I enjoyed this book fully as I always enjoy good horror and slight mobid humour.
