What they are saying about The Shadowmasters...
Extremely brutal descriptions are abundant in this chiller. Reminiscent of early Shaun Hutson this is a must-read for all horror fans who enjoy bloody, action-packed tales and superb lead characters, I have read a lot ( and I mean a lot ) of horror books in my time but I have to say some of Lancett's descriptions made me look away from reading as they were almost shockingly gross! Great excitement and well constructed; I can't wait for the next installment 'Redemption' - Ellie Wixon, OUTLAND
Ladies
and Gentlemen, we have a Winner! And the award for the most morally depraved,
bile-inducing, all around repulsive story of the year is - ShadowMasters! Mr.
Lancett, Pete if you will, there are some things that should never – under
any circumstances – be done to a dog, bull or child. What you have done
could inadvertently, drive a reader completely insane, leaving them vomiting
and writhing on the floor, crying to a higher power for a reprieve. You’re
The Man!!!
Deciding that the world has never seen horror to this degree, Lancett has taken
it upon himself to re-introduce an almost extinct form, the philosophically
ferocious. After reading it, I dare anyone to dispute him. Tying mystical lineage
with political agendas, the plot is original, enlightened and brutally authentic.
Having read literally thousands of horror books, I can
honestly say this tale is by far one of the most thought provoking and downright
hellish ever.
The pace in the book is fluid and ever moving. From the
first page to the last, Lancett grips you into his embrace and forces you to
look at the all the atrocities he revels in showing you. The atmosphere
is nostalgic and grotesque. Transporting you to scenes in history most in the
world would like to forget, the feeling is one of constant domination. The air
is laced with oppression and through it all you carry with you the stench of
rapacity.
Lancett’s style of writing comes off as cocky and abrasive, but you soon
find out he's worthy of this indulgence. He writes to intimidate and to paralyze
you with torment, a skill I found haunting. The characters are deep, etched
with caress and impregnated with all the flaws and admiration that is both desirable
and repugnant. Lancett shows you all the horrors to be found in man and just
how little it takes for evil to consume a soul.
My rating? Without a doubt, this book is a 5! Lancett
is either a mad genius or the most sadistic creature to emerge in decades! Buy
