Death truly had come to the village...
Nothing exciting ever happens in the border towns of Scotland, and the village of Newcastleton, with a population in the hundreds, is no exception to the rule. That is until kids start going missing and turning up dead, and violently mutilated, in the surrounding forests.
A group of teens will be forced to put down their NES controllers, walk away from their VHS collections, and try to figure out what has descended upon their quaint, little village.
Born of Bloodshed from A.D Jones, author of Sacrificial Waters, will transport you to 1990 Scotland for this terror-filled, coming of age story which promises nostalgia, stomach-churning violence, and a group of teens that you will fall in love with.
Perhaps don't get too attached!
This book packs a big punch in less than 100 pages. I cared about these characters! I was also sad for them. With Stranger Things feel of the basement, on the hunt for these cruel and brutal Redcaps! The cover means so much more when you finish the book. The lack of relief at the end of the book just added to the chills.
My eyes were as large as saucers at some points in the book. The description was visceral. I could clearly picture what happened to this gang, and I didn’t want to! Believe me!
The novella mainly covers one evening. An evening where a lot of blood has been shed, and I mean a LOT. I would love to know what happens next and I do hope there is a follow-up!!!
This was a welcome distraction from my sad news last week and I devoured it in one sitting. I mean how could you not, and those graphics at the beginning of each chapter – eek!!
I have read everything that Mr Jones has published, and I think that will forever be the case. He knows how to draw you in straight away and throws everything at you. So much fun, so much blood, it leaves you wanting more
Until the next time xxx
