Über diesen Titel
All towns have secrets. But none like Netherwell Bay....
"Sis, I’m in trouble. Real trouble. And I need help."
After receiving a worrying message from her estranged brother, Beth Davis sets out to find and help him, ending up in the strange, coastal town of Netherwell Bay.
There, she begins to witness terrifying and unexplainable things, and reports of ritualistic murders have the town panicked.
A sinister cult soon makes its presence known, and the dark history of Netherwell Bay is unveiled. Beth then finds herself in a race against time to stop a doorway to Hell from opening...permanently.
The Netherwell Horror is a Lovecraftian mystery that quickly descends into madness, sickening violence, and chaos. Fans of Silent Hill will love this nightmarish tale, but those of a squeamish disposition need not apply....
©2019 Lee Mountford (P)2020 Lee MountfordThe story is Lovecraftian, with the detailed monsters Steven King writes. Like Lovecraft, we have a focus on the essential - no sex, no financial problems, just small-town cult horror, with lots of monsters and rituals and stuff. As is apparently en vogue these days, there's quite a lot of gratuitous gore, and of course a graphic torture scene. I personally don't like that as I prefer the "fear of the unknown" type of description to detailed monster gore. But to each their own, anyway the buildup is great.
But unlike a raving mad, degenerated Lovecraftian cult, the adversaries here seem to be quite sane, and that ruined it all for me. Relatively normal people actively trying to integrate the world into a demonic hellscape WHILE SEEING that they will all just be horribly killed in the process is beyond any suspension of disbelief.
There are a few useless characters (though some of them serve as monster fodder, I guess), and as said above, too much gore for my taste - but the overall plot is the main problem here. So, this could have been really great, but it turned out sort of ok. Read it if you like monsters.
Almost a very good book
