Quick Book Review based on the sample

The story is gripping from the very first page as it introduces the character who is an interviewer for a podcast. He travels all the way to meet Megan, who though overwhelmed with her responsibilities towards keeping the house and taking care of her kids, is managing to the best of her abilities. 

But she has a past, and a scar that she has chosen not to hide. 

The creepy segment comes in the next part when we meet Louis Harding. He is on a boat catching crabs off-season, he comes across an unusual woman who is missing her torso. When she speaks to him, Louis is horrified but tries to help her only for her to bite off his finger. 

When he flings her into the water, her voice beckons him to join her into the depths. 

We then meet Megan in the past and learn about her struggles as an Art Student. 

The book is immensely engaging and the story keeps you hooked throughout. The descriptions are concise and never draw you away from the story. The pace is consistent and keeps you on your toes. 

The author excels at his craft by keeping the reader involved on every page. 

 

 The Plot (Taken from Amazon.com)

When you bury your past, make sure that it’s dead.

It’s the mid-nineties. Grunge and flannel are fading as the Spice Girls and Hot Topic conquer the malls. Cherry gloss glistens on the lips of the youth. Modems hiss as America comes online.

And in a fog-drenched cove at the edge of New England, something terrible awakens when a fisherman reels in a gruesome catch: the remains of a young woman.

Remains still pulsing with furious life.

For Megan Monroe and her friends, this is how their nightmare begins: a wet whisper over their shoulder, a dark hand reaching out from the edge of their sight, and a name clawing at the back of their minds.

A young woman scratched from their memory.

To stop this devouring terror, Megan will need to mend broken friendships and reassemble her fractured past, for what stalks them hungers to remake itself in their image… piece by bloody piece.

Dig into the haunted past with Head Like a Hole, a novel of malignant secrets, shattered friendships, and twisted bodily horror.
