Product Description

The Sheilds Gazette
Don’t miss it!

Mike Hallowell, The Sheilds Gazette.
"Imagine that a huge lump of rock from god-knows-where in the
galaxy is heading for earth. As it passes it spews billions of tonnes of
debris into the atmosphere, plunging the world into a catastrophy of
nightmare proportions. Just for a while it looks like man may just make it
into another era. Er... but not quite, something is out there in the
eternal darkness, and it wants to hunt. Cave imbues his novel with a
delicious flavour of Biblical eschatology by giving many of the characters
names straight out of the Old Testament. Like the biblical flood this novel
washes over the reader unceasingly, and warns us of dark things to come.
Oh, and then there's the vampires..... Don't Miss It!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb debut novel!, 13 Sep 2006
By Mr. R. C. Auty "Trancewarriors" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This book is one of the best I have read for a long time. Biblical in it's scope. The likes of Ezekiel and Raphael, leaders of hoards of vampires, lead their armies along different paths, but with the same objective in mind, the destruction of the last remaining humans. The earth has been damaged by a huge cataclysmic event, plunging the planet into darkness, and leaving the world slowly dying in perpetual night. The humans are not completely without hope though, some powerful characters, Jacob Cain chief amongst them, stand between their brethren and destruction. Altered to allow himself to walk with the vampires, Cain hatches a last desperate plan to defeat the drinkers of blood. Along the way he finds he is not alone and a terryfying trip to the horrors of New York brings the 'Ray of Hope' back to the apocalyptic final battle.
Cave's style of writing is captivating, powerful images, and characterisations speed the plot along to it's bloody, yet hopeful comclusion.
Comparable to Stephen King's 'The Stand' in it's depth, and to James Herbert's 'Domain'. It would not be out of place beside any of these horror classics.
Superb first effort, and looking forward to Paul's next venture. Would love to see a prequal too, where did those vampires come from?? Super effort. Well done!
Robert Auty, Author of "Trance Warriors: The Siege of Scarn"

5.0 out of 5 stars Something of the start of something special, 24 Nov 2006
By Anthony Gee (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When first offered the opportunity to read `Something of the night' I was presented with a dilemma. On one hand was the excitement of reading the work of a previously unpublished author, whilst on the other the genre was one that I wouldn't normally choose and was I committed to reading the whole book. The former out won the latter and good old fashioned compromise took care of the commitment. I committed to reading the first three chapters and from there make up my mind if I should read on or close the pages for good.
...I guess I could finish this review now and say I finished the whole book! But by way of qualifying the reading experience I'd like to offer a little more...

The author and the publisher have determined the genre of this book to be Horror which as I have previously said would normally put me off even selecting the book for consideration. However whereas much of the subject matter and imagery offered throughout are indeed horrific I felt the book was intelligent and rose above some practical genre labelling. The author presents a world that is literally dark as is the theme and some of the main characters. However he cleverly manages to keep the readers head up by a weave of subtle humour and a sense of what it is to be human once all our everyday material possessions are stripped away. I genuinely felt for Mankind and was comfortably able to slip into their plight as I might in the same circumstances. Using evil as the vehicle and justification for some of the brutality on offer, the subtlety continues as were taken on a seamless journey giving good old evil something to consider.

Technically very well written taking one of mans oldest horrors and mixing it up with perhaps one his latest but yet to come. If I had anything critical to offer it would be for the lack of detail on occasions as to why things were but that's just me and my need for a book to leave no stone unturned. This lack of detail is some areas served merely to make my imagination do a little of the work which probably not such a bad thing after all.

`Something of the night' is genuinely an excellent read.
