Shrike Kindle Edition

Shrike: – the butcher bird. A creature with a very nasty habit.
So says the editor of the local newspaper. But neither he, nor anyone else knows what is behind the spate of brutal killings which sent a shockwave through the town.
They don’t know that a séance was held one dark and stormy night. A séance that went disastrously wrong. Something evil had been summoned from a dark place. For those around the table, the clock is ticking..
And for the whole town, the nightmare is just beginning.
The only clue to its real identity, and its purpose, comes in the terrifying visions of a psychic girl….but who can believe she can see the killings before they actually happen.
It is only when the victims bodies are found impaled in steep, high places that detective Jack Fallon realises the visions are real. And that something evil, and hungry, is stalking the night.
Something that must be stopped and stopped fast.
Because Lorna Breck’s latest vision makes it clear that the beast is coming for Jack Fallon, and the people he loves most.
Together, they will have to face it…in the dark.

    5.0 out of 5 stars MASTER OF THE DARK SIDE
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 July 2012

    This is my first foray into the dark world of Joe Donnelly, but it certainly won't be my last. An unputdownable page-turner from first to last. Plot aside, the characterisation is superb; for a male author, Mr Donnelly has an un-nervingly accurate insight into the feminine psyche. The terror is only surpassed by the attention to detail and mood building tension. I look forward with eager anticipation to reading the rest of this deservedly award winning author's output. A worthy addition to the roll of hounour of horror writers from Wheatley to King et al.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing horror
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 September 2003
    Shrike is the first of this author I've read and I was suitably chilled..!!. Unputdownable though the ending was a little flat.
    Having been a fan of the way Stephen King USED to write I have been looking for another good horror story writer and Joe Donelly has proved to be an author I shall buy again.

    Well Joe Donnelly has come up trumps yet again. I can't recommend this author enough, this is a great story that runs like a speeding freight train, if your a fan of the horror genre pick this book (or any of his others) up immediately....
