Gone to the Dogs by Mark Towse

challenging dark tense fast-paced

4.25

The dogs will not stop barking! The residents on the estate in a small northern town are annoyed but then nothing else really happens so it makes a change. The residents plod through the day, today as uneventful as every day. Until the sky starts raining blood, the ground splits open, an eerie mist swirls and something hellish pays a visit. 

This is a fast paced, no holds barred horror novella that really never lets up. The normality of a grey day in a small town juxtaposed with the arrival of the denizens of hell is incredible. It is brutally visceral, the imagery grotesque and nightmarish. The locals are stoic and terrified but never stop fighting. It is action packed and the savagery is merciless and shocking. 

This is a gory blood soaked tale full of gruesome body horror vomiting out onto a normal town on an ordinary day, fantastic!
