DeathDay: The master of British horror with a classic tale of terror

Most horror novels require some suspension of disbelief - this one more than most. The curse of an ancient amulet turns a man into a homicidal fiend, and his victims in turn seek out more prey. As the body count rises in a small town, the local police force is denied reinforcements by a sceptical deskbound copper from headquarters, who is unconcerned by the fact that by now, about 50 of the townspeople are never seen in daylight any more. Even Ian Blair wasn't this dozy.But like most Hutson books, "Deathday" is an entertaining read, the literary equivalent of a good "B" movie. You want to know what happens next, the action is fast and furious, and the characterisation is pretty convincing. It hasn't got the most original plot of any Hutson novel, but it certainly won't bore you.

The living dead side of the story had great possibilities, but the inadequate police procedure was beyond believe. I think the living dead should have won. Or did they?

I first read this in my early twenties,now I’m fifty and I thought I would read it again using my Kindle. Still a great novel, crazy plot, scary scenes with the usual Hutson gore.

More horror classic from the master of horror.
