BrainFreeze Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Has anyone read any of his work? As you'd expect for a horror writer, he's pretty graphic, but I don't think overtly so. He's quite blunt and to the point, so you need less imagination with him than some horror writers who go into greater detail but in a gentler way. There were two of his books that I found quite hard to read; Spawn and another that I can't remember the name of off the top of my head. It was the subject matter that I found hard going but they were still very readable. So, is anyone else a fan? Quote
baggiesfan Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 i have read a few of his mainly the old ones he is very good but i found them all a bit "samey" as in you have read one and you have read them all. Quote
Charm Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) I used to read loads of his a good few years ago. My favourite one was 'Erebus' ... it scared the c*** outta me, and I hated being in the house on my own! They do tend to be a bit 'samey' but if you like that sort of thing then you know you won't be disappointed! Edited February 12, 2009 by Charm Quote
Nollaig Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Never heard of him! Going to check him out Quote
Charm Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Do Roxi! From what I can remember, he reminded me of a British Graham Masterton. Lots of blood and gore! He's a pretty straightforward writer too ... 'does exactly what it says on the tin' so to speak. Quote
Nollaig Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Lots of blood and gore for the Blood And Murder person! Hahaha. Sounds like my kinda thing Quote
Kreader Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 I recall Spawn. I read the whole book due to boredom and the book just happened to be there. It was gory. The guy doing the blood breast feediing was a little touching though. Quote
Heather Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) I have 5 Shaun Hutson books what I would like to know is to you have to read them in order? This is the books that I have:~ Nemesis Deadhead Captives Exit Wounds Warhol's Prophecy Edited February 11, 2009 by Heather found another book Quote
Charm Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 I don't think so burghead lass. If I remember correctly, any books of his I read were all stand alone novels. I don't think he wrote a series as such, mind you he might have done since I read his stuff but I believe the ones you have are all individual stories. Quote
BrainFreeze Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 I have 5 Shaun Hutson books what I would like to know is to you have to read them in order? This is the books that I have:~ Nemesis Deadhead Captives Exit Wounds Warhol's Prophecy I'm pretty sure they're all stand alone novels - as Charm said, I don't think he's ever done a series. Not to my knowledge anyway. Quote
baggiesfan Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 He has done a couple of books with the same character, a counter terrosrist agent called Sean Doyle but they dont have to be read in order, all of the rest are stand alone novels. Quote
