Transgressions Cycle: The Mothers

The Transgressions Cycle #1

by Mike Jones

For fans of American Horror Story .

Fleeing the horrors of Dickensian England and debts she cannot pay, Rosanna steals passage aboard a ship from a desperate young mother and her child. But all hope of a better life is snuffed out when the ship runs aground on Matron Island, a remote quarantine station off the coast of Tasmania.

Trapped, Rosanna searches for a way out, discovering hidden chambers and a bizarre photography studio deep within the bowls of the station. Each step brings Rosanna closer to the truth and the creatures that await her in the dark . . .

From the pen of Mike Jones – renowned multi-platform writer and Head of Story at Portal Entertainment – The Mothers is the first spoke in the Transgressions Cycle story wheel, this is Australian gothic horror at its finest.

Isolated island, mysterious deaths, creepy children in the walls... what's not to like? A lot apparently... specifically the 2/3 of the book solely describing characters' actions. If the author had spent less time wondering "Should Rosanna turn right or left?" and more time on the plot and explaining ANYTHING (besides spoiler camera steals souls of children and... that's it...), then maybe the story could have lived up to its creepy summary. But right now, the scariest part of Trangressions Cycle: The Mothers is the cover.
