Is anyone a fan of the horror writer Shaun Hutson?
I've been a fan of his horror books for many years, first discovering his books by reading "Assassin". I recently managed to purchase 4 of his books which I hadn't read yet and am currently about half way through "Spawn".
Having not read any of his books for a few years I had forgotten just how graphic his writing can be. Sometimes he does take the descriptions a little too far, but it never puts you off from continuing to read. :) Spawn is just the same, with some very graphic details of how a murderer kills his victims by slowly pushing a long thin blade through their eye and into their brain. The description of the first time this occurs is very graphic, going into the details of how the eye reacted to the blade. Nice! :lol:
The others I have waiting to be read include Breeding Ground (the sequel to Slugs), Erebus and Victims.
If you are a fan of horror and you've not read any of his books I recommend you do.
