What if Sunday was actually Monday?....what if your neighbours were really aliens?...what if your wife and family and everything you believed in was not what it seemed.....welcome to the world of Linwood Barclay. I enjoy Linwood Barclay but as someone famous once said I love babies but I couldn't eat a whole one (no offence meant!) His novels grab you from the opening sentence and lead you on a merry dance right to the final page. They are fun, they are great reads they are totally nonsense but above all they are great entertainment...and surely that is what good writing is all about? David Harwood enters an amusement park with his wife and child...his wife disappears and thereafter David's world is never the same again. You will be hooked and you will race along with David in a story that becomes increasingly bizarre as it heads like a steamroller to the somewhat predictable but enjoyable finish....I do recommend but as it says on the medicine jar...do not exceed the stated dose......

What can I say for a mere 0.86p you can acquire a truly original horror short story collection. What makes this book so different is the fact that all these stories are joined together in a very clever way. The writing is very taut, bright, fresh and new, and I loved every word. So often in the past I have been disappointed when reading horror books, but AJ Armitt is a breath of fresh air and I urge you to downlod...you will not be disappointed :))
