The Kirk
“What do you do if the very ground is evil? If something so horrific happened here that it can never be cleansed?” Welcome to "The Kirk", the page turning new horror thriller from best-selling author L.I. Albemont. A picturesque town with a dark history is the setting for Albemont’s newest offering. Secrets lie beneath the prosaic surface of the small town of Falkirk. The bucolic beauty conceals an ancient evil that lurks in the quiet woods and lanes, an evil that feeds on murder and madness and fear. L.I. Albemont is the author of five novels including the critically acclaimed Living Dead Series. Her debut novel, Contagion, spent three months on Amazon’s top one hundred best-sellers list in Horror and Alternate History and was on Squidoo’s list of Best-Ever Zombie Novels. The novel was also on Bing’s list of Best Zombie Novels of 2012. Editorial praise for the writing of L.I. Albemont "The world of independent e-books is crammed full of zombie related reading material. Some of these e-books are written well, others are written really well. "Contagion" written by L.I. Albemont falls into the latter category." -examiner.com Arts and Entertainment "In a time when zombie novel books seem to litter the shelves of every bookstore, or the screens of every website, this is one that is refreshing in its difference." -The Zombie Librarian

This was a tough read all around. The writing came off a little stilted and hard to follow but at the same time it was interesting enough to want you to just power through. I wish the mixture of the historical background and real time horrors flowed better though. It skimmed the surface on everything just so that I found it difficult to completely immerse myself in what was happening to the family, which in turn took away from the horror of the situation.
On the plus side.. That ending.

Fantastic and scary
This was a great paranormal thriller and kept me up most of the night reading. I've read the author's other books which are also fantastic. Highly recommend this book.

A very good read
This story just kept you reading, never knowing exactly where it was going. Second book I've read by this author, and I'm looking for more. Fantastic

Torturous reading
I tried to like this book. I thought the premise and set up of exposing he deep history of the land worked well. As with most paranormal stories, characters have to make poor decisions along the way to keep the story going, so that is acceptable.
The problem for.me was throughout the book the author felt the need to show his extensive superfluous vocabulary. This continually broke up the flow of reading. Towards the end I simply could not keep going. Between the long drawn out explanation of the past and the writing style, I simply could not make myself read the last 1/4 of the book.

This book was OK. I think Gemma's character needed to be a little more developed to make her more relatable; that would make her actions more understandable. I liked Gemma, I guess I just wanted to know her better. It would have made the story more absorbing.
