There is a lot of sick and twisted-ness in here which I always love, but it's the story and the great set of characters in this book that really got me into this! There are also added bonuses for Stephen King fans with many subtle references to different books, showing that this story also takes place in his father's universe. PS. Be sure to read "a note on the type" at the end :-)

The Red House
Another good book by Adam Nevill (End Of Days, Ritual) this time dealing with the Red House and it strange occupants and twisted history. Quite unsettling at times and the one thing that Adam Nevill exels at is creating tension and trapping (for want of a better word) his characters in horrible situations. An author who's books I'll will now purchase on the strength of his name alone. Recommended.

And I thought my family was twisted!

Andrews really puts you into the story and into the mind of Cathy. But there is a LOT of mature content in this book! Wow! Between rape, incest, child abuse, and psychological trauma, you'd think it would be a depressing experience but you're rooting for the kids the entire time! But take it from me...draw out a family tree to keep track of who is who.

This book was disturbing and amazing, like a terrible train wreck you can't look away from! The protagonists are common enough that they seem harmless and boring but at the same time, unbelievably twisted and evil in their lack of morality and compassion. I felt sorry for and repulsed by the narrator almost concurrently while rooting for her redemption and condemnation. It is truly a sensational novel that keeps you interested, engaged and terrified.

WOW- what an ending!? This book was so much more than I expected.. it answered so many questions and took this entire story to a whole new sick and twisted level!? LOVED it! I was a roller coaster of emotions.... furious with rage, ripping with jealousy and in the end, I bawled my eyes out when I finally learned of their fate. HIGHLY recommended dark read!!! Diving right into the next book for Caleb's POV!

Not bad
This twisted tale wasn't too bad. It had decent acting, ok cinematography and an interesting story. A little slow paced at times but a few twists in the plot kept it interesting along with a pretty decent "creep" factor throughout. Not the greatest horror story ever told but definitely a unique one for a dark night. Witches and demons and betrayal will keep your interest to the end. Worth a watch.

A worthy adaptation of an excellent comic
A really enjoyable, filthy, dark and funny series. Some excellent portrayals of really twisted characters and a great real world take on what would happen if superheroes were real. A number of liberties were taken (Hughie not being Scottish for one, Karl Urban's accent for another) but all in all a really brilliant TV show that ended too soon, but clearly has so much more to come.

Descriptive Morsel
I've never read any of this author's work but after getting a glimpse into his deviant mind I will say that I will definitely be reading more of his wicked reads. This dark and twisted short story was over way too quickly as I found myself captivated by this descriptive morsel of a tale. Be prepared to experience what feels like a full-length book all packed into this short story.

It's been a while since i read the first three books in this series but i remember loving them in their twisted ways so a chance to jump back into the world of Tarrick and Matthew was a big YES!

Though Matthew is only mentioned in passing, Tarrick, Sam and Jet take centre stage. It was a fun little romp and has got me very excited for the next book in the series!
