About this listen

Harold Pierce didn't mean to kill his baby brother all those years ago. He didn't intend to incinerate him in a fire but he did and he has spent most of his adult life in a psychiatric hospital because of that. Upon release he is given a job as a hospital porter but that job involves the burning of aborted foetuses and the memories of what happened to his brother begin to torment Harold.

In the small town where he lives the terror is mounting because of the escape from prison of psychopath Paul Harvey. Within days of his escape a horrifying series of murders begins but there is much worse to come. Pierce and Harvey, both disturbed and guarding terrible secrets, are about to unleash a terror beyond belief....

Shaun Hutson is one of the UK's best-known horror writers and author of over 50 books. He made his name with best-sellers such as Spawn and Relics - acquiring the nicknames 'The Godfather of Gore' and 'The Shakespeare of Gore' in the process - and has since written a number of dark urban thrillers as well. He has also written for radio, magazines, television and novelized a couple of Hammer Horror films.

I'd forgotten how immersive, powerful and down right brilliant Shaun Hutson is. I started reading his books about 20yrs ago when my sister and I would swap eachothers books - hers James Herbert mine Shaun Hudson. This book had me from the start. Excellent characters in a truely disturbing story.

Disturbing But So Good

This was the first Hutson book I read, The book is that bad it is fantastic. . Plenty of graphic depections of gore and over the top violence.

This is no-nonsense in your face shock horror.





A True Horror Classic.
