Tatterdemon Trilogy #2
Resurrection: Book Two of the Tatterdemon Trilogy
The pot has begun to boil.
In 1691 the town of Crossfall taught the witch Thessaly how to die. They beat her, they shot her, they hung her - but nothing worked. When they finally tried to bury her alive Thessaly set the field against them. The first man died as a gust of wind harrowed the meat from his bones. A root,flung like a dirty javelin, cut a second man down. Many more deaths followed. The Preacher Fell impaled the witch upon her very own broom but she dragged him down into the field to wait for three more centuries.
Three hundred years later Maddy Harker will murder her bullying husband Vic. She will bury him in the field as she buried her abusive father years before that. The very same field where the revenant spirit of Thessaly Cross lies waiting.
In three days Vic will rise again - a thing of dirt, bone and hatred.
Men will call him the Tatterdemon.
And hell - and Thessaly - will follow.
Volume Two of the creepiest scarecrow novel you will ever read.

Having thoroughly enjoyed book 1, I couldn't wait to listen to this. This one was just as good. The whole story is starting to come together and I can only imagine what is coming next!! The authors descriptive writing is great and he made it really easy to get into the story.
Even with it only being about 2 and a half hours long, the author once again seems to pack so much into it. I do hope this will become available as an omnibus because I'd love to read the whole story uninterrupted.
Rick Gregory read this perfectly. He was able to bring life to the characters and brought the atmosphere to life too.
I was given this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts.

I read "Resurrection: Book Two of the Tatterdemon Trilogy" by Steve Vernon as part of his Omnibus Edition. For me this was the middle part and, like the first book (or the beginning) was explicit horror that kept me at the edge of my seat. Being only an occasional reader of the genre I did find the story gripping and original, powerful and often marginally uncomfortable. I'm glad I perservered. Highly recommended for fans of the genre.

As I said before with book one, this is not for those who are faint of heart. Not to sound repetative of other reviews, that is just the phrase I will use for books or movies that may be a little to graphic or grisly for some. As I also stated with the first book in the series, I actually like the grisly books, so this is right up my alley for the most parts. It does have quite a bit of language, and I am not crazy over that, because I feel like there are times when it is not required. That would be where I deducted a star. I am far from a prude when it comes to my music, movies, and books, but sometimes enough is enough. Less is more. The scenes for the deaths are put out there in detail, and that could be a turn off for some readers, so please be warned before just jumping in. This is a not an novel that is too long, it is a quick read for most readers, and you can happily read it in one sitting. If you like horror and can handle the graphic nature and language, be sure to grab this one up! You will be happy you did.
I was lucky enough to read a copy of this, and would like to thank the author and publisher for allowing me to be able to read on kindle and listen on audio. I think it really adds to the story to be able to hear the narrator bring it to life in even more detail in your mind.

This is the second book in the Tatterdemon Trilogy. I suggest listening to book 1 first. This does need to be listened to in order! Excellent horror story so far! Can't wait to see how the story wraps up in book 3. Love the narration by Rick Gregory!

300 years after a witch curses a family,the whole town seems to be harboring bodies.Maddy is seeing ghosts and then Vic rolls over in his grave,kind of.Rick Gregory is the perfect,droll narrator for this series.I was given this book by the narrator,author or publisher free for an honest review.

This series does need to be read in order. In book one we follow quite a few different characters, this book picks up where book one left off. The characters lives are starting to blend together, making it seem more cohesive, each one has different haunts that pull you into the story line. I am quite fascinated by this authors work. In the first book the characters aren't really tied together so you are left wondering how he is going to pull off this story line, but it is coming together quite nicely. If you are a horror fan this is definitely for you!!

Book II In this series
This book is not for the faint of heart. Explicit language, overly descriptive murder scenes etc is rife.
That said. The premise of the nook is not unique what is unique is the authors voice.
This, although a horror is also a satire on the human condition and the authors voice in how he brings some very unlikely dead and alive characters to life is absolutely amazing. Not a long book but I own the omnibus so I am delighted to get straight on to reading book two.
If you are at all squeamish then I say - stay away. If not this man has talent. Explore it.
