Assassin 10/10
London was in the grip of it's bloodiest bout of gang warfare for two years. Shootings in the street, kidnapping and car chases. Until now, Frank Harrison had ruled gangland but it looked as if that reign was going to end in blood. Someone was out to destroy him and his men. To wipe out everyone associated with him. But who? Harrison had to know, and into this world of violence, corruption, madness and death came the Assassin. A force more powerful than death, more lethal than a lorry full of high velocity weapons and more terrifying than any nightmare...



Slugs 10/10
THEY SLIME, THEY OOZE, THEY KILL...
One female slug can lay one and a half million eggs a year - a fact which holds terrifying consequences for the people of Merton. As the town basks in the summer heat, a new breed of slug is growing and multiplying. In the waist-high grass, in the dank, dark cellars they are acquiring new tastes, new cravings. For blood. For flesh. Human flesh...


Breeding Ground 10'/10
Deep in the dirty sewers of London there is a Breeding Ground.
The Slugs have come back... slowly... silently... they slither along dank, fetid tunnels into the city in search of human flesh. Their insatiable need knows no bounds.
But now they bring a new horror - a plague which spreads insanity and death, transforming its victims into grotesque, crazed killers.
Caught in the maelstrom of horror is Dr. Alan Finch - the only man capable of destroying the Breeding Ground forever


Captives 9/10
'Two murderers commit motiveless crimes then burn themselves to death with one mile of each other in the space of a week. You're telling me there's no connection?'

But there is a connection - with practices so vile that not even the hardened, street-wise Detective Inspector Frank Gregson can imagine. And unless he can find some answers, London's streets will be streets no longer: they will be rivers gushing with deep, red blood...

The answers lie behind sealed doors of the hospital wing of Whitely Prison. Deep in the bowels of the building Dr. Robert Dexter is working at his own methods of solving prison overcrowding. Methods that link Whitely to London's brutal, seedy underworld of Soho sex-shows and drug barons. And methods that will turn ordinary men into raving psychopaths, screaming for vengeance, destruction and death

Deathday 10/10
BEWARE THE GOLDEN DISK. IT BRINGS DECAY, DESTRUCTION, DEATH...

Four hundred years ago, a woman died in agony to keep it's secret and went to her grave with it hung around her neck. Now, in a desolate graveyard, a workman has unearthed the amulet by chance and decides to keep it. His first mistake...

That night the village of Medford is plunged into a nightmare of terror by the discovery of a double murder and mutilation - the first in a series of shocking killings. Wherever the amulet is found, ancient evil - hideous, powerful and vile - is once again reborn...
Beth Parker returned home one day to find a nightmare on her doorstep - in the form of her younger sister Lucy.


Lucy's Child 10/10 MUST READ (this book got me into reading, when i was 16, i never used to for about ten years, but i got hooked, i got hooked, i could not put this book down,, i reading on way to the bus stop, thanks god, i picked this books, i would have missed a lot great stuff).
After the mysterious fire that killed their parents five years earlier, Lucy had disappeared from Beth's life in a twilight world of drugs and violence. But now she was back, needing somewhere to stay. There is no love lost between the sisters and the tense atmosphere is strained further by the repeated references to Beth's inability to bear children. Lucy knows how much it hurts - but she likes to hurt people. Perhaps that's why she carries a knife.

But if Beth thought having Lucy to stay was a nightmare, having her gone was much, much worse. A tragic accident takes her away, but leaves a legacy behind. Lucy's child. And Beth's only chance at motherhood. But there are forces abroad that cannot permit what Beth sees as her right. Forces that will stop at nothing to prevent Beth from getting what she wants.
And she wants Lucy's child...

Purity 9/10 (If you like scream, you love this book)
Amy Watson hears the twisted morality of the masses every night on her London talk-radio show. Whenever their idle chat spills over into something more threatening, she flicks a switch and laughs: 'You're history.'

Two prostitutes, a pimp, a drug addict and a tramp, have all been identically strangled in the city, and the phone lines are buzzing, Just as it seems a morally righteous serial killer is cleaning up the streets, an arson attack at a Camden hospice takes eleven patients to their deaths earlier than expected, and every atrocity becomes united by a chilling bond. Someone out there is not only very sick. They are killing the sick.

Is the voice that warns Amy she is the next to die just another late-night loser? Why does she dread the man who has become her neighbour and, so easily, her lover? When Amy discovers she may have contracted breast cancer, her darkest fears are realised. She is now a target. She is no longer protected by a flicking switch. She's history... (i still can't believe who the killer was)

Necessary Evil 10/10 MUST READ
i was not looking forward to this one, the last two books before this (Hybrid & Hell to pay, were poor ) but Shuan Hustson went to old gory ways, this books is a masterpices.
It was to be a routine job. Matt Franklin and his companions would rob the Securicor van. Simple. Until the job turned into a nightmare. Two of his men are shot dead and another is fatally wounded. But who is trying to wipe them out, killing not just them but their families too? How are the Government and the British army implicated? What lurks within a secret research establishment in the English countryside? Franklin has to find out. Finally, the only one left alive, he tires of being the prey and decides to become the hunter.

His quest will bring him into conflict with forces he cannot begin to imagine or understand, but he is driven by a need for revenge that overrides his fear.

Aided by a desperate detective, Franklin becomes embroiled in a series of events that lead to a terrifying climax in the London Underground, where he comes face to face with the answers he has sought.

Like all of us, Franklin was told monsters don't exist. He's about to find out that someone was lying

Knife Edge 7/10 this is so diffrent of others books, there not gory at all , i love Shaun gory stuff, but i thought i would hate this book, Shaun Hustson it so good, it grab into books, i loved it.
'You know what bombs can do...'

When Sean Doyle receives his first message from Robert Neville, he has only seven hours in which to save London - and the Northern Ireland peace process - from disaster.

Neville is an explosives expert in the British Army, but peace in the Province has ripped a hole in his life. His demands are simple: to be re-united with his daughter, Lisa. His threats are terrifying: a series of bombs to be detonated in the centre of the capital every hour until he has the girl. Already responsible for a string of callous attacks on Irish public figures on both sides of the political divide, it's clear to all concerned that Neville is deadly serious. And Military Intelligence wants him stopped before the cease-fire is dealt a fatal blow.

As a member of the Counter Terrorist Unit, Doyle knows his own days are numbered by the cessation of The Troubles. He's close to understanding Neville's mind - closer, in fact, than it is safe to be. Doyle also knows he could be signing his death warrant if he observes orders, but whatever the fighting has taken from him - it has not destroyed his duty to fight terrorism. It's his job.

But this day's work has only just begun. Forced to toy with the life of an innocent girl and trust the words of a cold-hearted assassin, Doyle must find Neville before London is reduced to rubble - and before his own violent instincts propel him towards self-destruction

Spawn 10/10 MUST READ (based on true story)
From Shaun Hutson, author of the classic horror tale Slugs, comes Spawn - a psychologically complex terror thriller about two disturbed men and the unnatural consequences of their deeds.

Harold Pierce is released from a mental hospital where he has spent all of his adult life. His new job as a hospital porter involves him in the burning of aborted foetuses - an act which brings back nightmare memories of the death by fire of his baby brother Gordon. The trauma is such that the deranged but gentle Harold begins to neglect his duties...

Paul Harvey is a convicted murderer and his escape from prison places the Exham police force under a great deal of pressure. Their vigorous manhunt yields no results but when they begin to investigate a brutal series of murders no one has any doubt that it is Harvey who is decapitating the hapless victims...

Nemesis 10/10
From the 1989 hardback
AUGUST 1940: while Hitler's bombers are busy reducing London to rubble, biologist George Lawrenson is nearing the climax of Project Genesis - a daring experiment aimed at breeding a super-race to combat Hitler's armies. But the results of his work are so appalling in their implications that Churchill personally orders Lawrenson silenced and all traces of his experiments destroyed.

Almost half a century later Jon and Sue Hacket are contemplating the ruins of their marriage. A relationship already under strain now seems to have been destroyed by the savage murder of their baby daughter, Lisa, and the couple retreat to the small town of Hinkston to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives.

But Hinkston is a town with a secret. A series of horrific and unexplained murders has brought terror to the area, and when Sue approaches Dr Edward Curtis - a man famous in Hinkston for his treatment of infertile women - to help her conceive another child, past and present evils give birth to a new nightmare...

Renegades 10/10
Immortality - the ultimate secret. David and Laura Callahan, like others before them throughout the ages, will stop at nothing in their perverted quest for it. But for Callahan, a multi-millionaire gun-runner, eternal life has never looked less likely: he is being hunted by two British counter-terrorists. And nobody knows who hired the killers - or why...

In a race against time, a trail of violence and terror leads from a desecrated church in France, to London, and on to strife-torn Ireland where modern terrorism battles against ancient powers and a terrible secret is revealed. A long-forgotten secret that will threaten the lives of those involved. And when the final confrontation comes, the living will envy the dead


Hell To Pay 4/10

A serial child killer. A couple tens of thousands of pounds in debt. And a young girl with a mysterious, terrifying illness...

When the body of a boy is discovered on the shores of Kingsfield reservoir, Detective Inspector Alan Fielding knows he is up against it. Like the killer's previous two victims, there is no sign of violence, no fingerprints left behind, nothing but two small puncture marks where the overdose of heroin was injected. Whoever is carrying out the attacks is careful, methodical and clever. Fielding is frantic to find the killer before another child is taken...

In a run down house on a nearby estate, Nikki Reed knows only too well what the ominous knock on the front door means - the loan sharks want their money back, and they don't get it, they're going to get nasty. But Nikki and her husband Jeff can't pay up... Until Nikki's brother John comes up with a dangerous and high-risk scheme that could make all of them rich...

Roma Todd's relationship with record company boss David is rife with deceit and deception, but the one thing that holds them together is their daughter Kirsten. And though Kirsten may seem like any other child, she suffers from an extraordinary illness, one that without her medication can unleash a bizarre and deadly trail of horror...

All desperate people running out of time. When their worlds collide, there'll be hell to pay...

relics 5/10
From the relics of the past comes a new nightmare. A force so powerful, so obscenely evil that it threatens to reach across the centuries and engulf mankind...

When a hidden chamber filled with the skulls of children is discovered by an archaeologist horror is unleashed on the town of Longfield. Black Mass orgies with heroin-addicted teenagers, savage dog-fights, mutilated corpses...

Erebus 7/10
The people of Wakely are pale and gaunt. They have abnormally long fingernails and prominent teeth - and some of them have hair on the palm of there hands. Their animals are ugly and vicious, their offspring are born mutant. Mares eat their newborn foals, bullocks rampage in the slaughterhouse - and kill their would-be butchers.

What is poisoning the life-blood of Wakely town?

What evil force has it in thrall?
