He also loves the word crimson, if I took a drink every time he uses it I don’t think I’d make it past the first couple of chapters.

Just got back from driving across America. Started in LA at the Iliad Bookshop. I got about $75 worth of great stuff! I lugged it all over the country then had to get out because of the chaos. Got the second last flight out of New York! So you could say I Escaped From New York then Escaped From LA!

Im loving the content dude! So glad I stumbled across your channel. The information and exposure to different titles is great. Ever considered a video on the topic of where you go to find books and advice on finding some of those more rare gems? Would love to hear your input! Either way thanks for taking the time to make these videos.

Thanks for watching! Yeah I’ve long considered doing an “out and about” video showing where I shop for books. Looks like it might be a while before that happens now lol

I love that book but if i had top pick a favourite Hutson book it would be Relic. The ending of Relic shocked me as a teenager.

There are two types of book reviews I like to watch on youtube: literature and Shawn Hutson :P Jokes aside, this was a fun as hell zombie-with-a-twist book.

It’s impressive that he manages to combine aspects of vampires, zombies, and werewolves all into the same creature here.

Hey! This is biblioshark over on my main non book related channel. I left a comment on one of your videos awhile back saying I have some books I am getting rid of and was wondering if after this pandemic has calmed down, you would like me to ship them to you free of charge? If you interested let me know, and I can send you a list of the ones I have!

Wow! Hutson excites you. Fun, humorous, energetic review! I have no problem with right leaning authors. That said, I abhor reproachful leftists or preachy conservatives bashing me over the head with politics. You said Erebus was Shaun Hutson's take on vampires. What was vampiric about Erebus?
@PaperbackMania4 жыл бұрын
The humans who succumb to the virus manifest some vampiric qualities like pale skin, fangs, vulnerability to sunlight, and a thirst for blood. Interestingly, Hutson states in the afterword that it’s a real, extremely rare condition called porphyria that affects 1 in 25,000 people. So basically, vampires are real according to Hutson.

Interesting review. I have a few of Shaun Hutson's books, this one included, but haven't read it yet. I was actually planning on next reading Come the Night which is the same novel but different title as Chainsaw Terror under his pen name Nick Blake. I seem to recall you own Chainsaw Terror. Have you read that one yet? Maybe I'll read this one next instead.
@PaperbackMania4 жыл бұрын
Come the Night is the censored re-issue of Chainsaw Terror, which the publisher pulled from publication shortly after its release. It’s a shame because Hutson was planning on making a trilogy, the other intended books being Chainsaw Slaughter and Chainsaw Bloodbath! I would have loved to see read those. Chainsaw Terror was the first book I reviewed on this channel.

Chris Interesting. But if the two books are identical, I wonder why Star didn’t just re-issue it under the original title and use the controversy to promote it.
