The only reason to write a book is to entertain. I would have enjoyed that more that listening to it.On the subject of Unmarked Graves, Shaun says: I can easily imagine this book as a graphic novel/comic. I did listen to the complete book because I kept thinking it would get better. I could see the skeleton of a truly frightening story, but it seemed to me that the author didn't take the time to flesh it out.

Transition from character to character to narration was smooth, in particular, the female and child voices are not jarring or overdone as I often find is the case with other actors. Holdbrook-Smith's performance was superb as usual. What about Kobna Holdbrook-Smith’s performance did you like? I believe more attention to the main characters and story line would have brought the book up a few notches from low budget, B-movie, horror show. Fine for the first couple of murder/sacrifice depictions, but it just became boring.

I have no problem with using graphic descriptions to enhance fear and horror in a story, but this book was one gore-fest after another. What could Shaun Hutson have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? He has also written for radio, magazines, television and novelized a couple of Hammer Horror films. He made his name with best-sellers such as Spawn and Relics - acquiring the nicknames 'The Godfather of Gore' and 'The Shakespeare of Gore' in the process – and has since written a number of dark urban thrillers as well. Shaun Hutson is one of the UK's best known horror writers and author of over 50 books. For Wallace, and possibly for the whole human race, time is running out fast. Is it the sadistic thug responsible for organising a series of barbaric dog fights? The mysterious recluse who holds Black Mass orgies for drug addicted teenagers? Or is it, in fact, something much worse?Īn evil so old, so vile and so powerful that it threatens to engulf everyone who comes near it. Inspector Stephen Wallace must unmask this crazed killer.

Who is behind this outrage? And how is it linked to a subterranean chamber thousands of years old? The opening of the chamber triggers a series of horrific murders, each victim mutilated and their entrails used to form a different letter of the alphabet. At first glance they seem to have been there for thousands of years but closer examination reveals a more shocking secret. During an archaeological dig, a hidden chamber filled with the skulls of children is discovered.
