Hunter Shea

I picked this up with the hindsight that it was going to be a tongue in cheek b-horror kind of story and it certainly was that! But it is a quick entertaining read which kept me steaming through it and it's a perfect Sunday lazy afternoon kind of book.

I doubt it will leave many people scared unless you have a severe phobia of rats! If you do you best avoid this one

I wish I had saved some of the great lines peppered throughout it, my memory is terrible but I do remember one of them had something to do with tails being like satans ariels maybe? I'm going to have to flick back through it to find it as it amused me!

“Possibly a thousand rats were on our tail, their own tails bobbing like Satan’s spaghetti.”

Now that has got to go down as a classic surely?!! :-)

Throughly enjoyed this book and I will be hunting out more of Hunter Shea's books.

If you are a fan of slasher horror movies then you are in for a treat with this book! It certainly lives up to its title with some blood curdling results with its graphic imagery as someone or something hunts them down, murdering the group one by one.

Five years ago a group of friends broke into the Hayden Resort, a derelict, run down, abandoned hotel to do some urban exploration but only one person left the resort alive. Ashley King, known to the media and fans as 'The Final Girl'. A serial killer murdered all her friends in horrific ways, a killer labeled as 'The Wraith' but was never caught.

Although Ashley made it out alive, she never recovered from that night and never escaped from the Wraith psychologically, resulting in her taking her own life.

Drowning in grief from his Ashleys fiancée, Todd finds a clue left behind by Ashely, one that could identify the Wraith and let Ashely feast in peace. Following the clue, Todd and his friends follow in Ashley's footsteps to the Hayden Resort and what follows is an almost mirror image of what Ashely and her group went through as they come face to face with her murder, the Wraith.

There is enough killing packed with gore to satisfy even the most bloodthirsty readers and even though it reads like an 80's horror movie, this isn't a mindless slasher. It is full of complex characters, powerful imagery and intelligent plot lines and genre crossovers, horror, paranormal, suspense and psychological thriller with a serial killer to rival the likes of Leatherface and Freddy Krueger. I can see it now making its way to the silver screen as a horror movie, the whole novel would be a perfect cross over from page to screen.

With Christmas just around the corner this book would make an ideal present for horror fans, they certainly wouldn't be disappointed!

Thank you to the author Hunter Shea, publishers Flame Tree Press, Anne Carter and NetGalley for my copy of this book in exchange for an honest and independent review as well as including me on the blog tour.… (plus d'informations)

Hunter Shea has done it again, another old school horror at its very best!

Dracula Drive, what a perfect name for a road that leads you into hell and for what later takes place down that dirt road in the belly of the forest!

I remember this era really well and I think that was a major fact of how quickly I got pulled into this book, plus it reads like an old school early Stephen King novel. I’m not sure why but it made me think about Stephen King’s The Tommyknockers. Misfits is definitely a must read for horror fans, this is probably my favourite book so far by Hunter Shea!

As well as being part in the blog tour for this book on Twitter I am also offering you the chance to win your own copy of this book. All you have to do is pop over to my Twitter which is @DebTat2 for more details.
