Product Description

Review
"Conrad Williams is so good at what he does that he probably shouldn't be allowed to do it any more, for the sake of everyone's sanity.'" "--Publishers Weekly

"

Product Description
The "Unblemished" artfully interweaves the stories of a serial killer who believes he is the rightful son and heir to an ancient dynasty of flesh-eating monsters, and a mother determined to protect her only daughter from the stuff of nightmares. The fate of each of them and the survival of the entire human race depends on one man, Bo Mulvey, who possesses the ancient wisdom the blood thirsty evil needs to achieve its full and horrifying potential.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ultimately dissappointing, 17 Jun 2008
By Eoin Lynch - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Not particularly scary. Plenty of gore and violence and descriptions thereof.

SPOILER:



Stretches credibility that a metropolis like London could be devastated without the government lifting a finger until it's all over.

1.0 out of 5 stars Body horror written in pulp prose, 12 Jun 2008
By Kaye L. Elling "k-matic" (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Unblemished may promise a modern classic horror tale set within it's own dark and detailed London, but all it delivers is the most crass kind of body horror written in the worst pulp prose. I used to read trash like this in the 80s as a teenager: I can't believe they're still printing this kind of drivel now. Conrad Williams comes across as a sick little monkey desperate for shocks, presumably because he can't write anything better.

If you're a fan of splatter films such as Hostel and the Saw series you may enjoy this. However, if you prefer your frights to be a little more cerebral, stay well away.
