Stallion

by Gordon McGill

Susan and Tom McEvoy expect problems when they set about turning an Exmoor farm into a riding school. What they don't expect is the brooding sense of ancient horror that begins to pervade their lives, and their dreams.

From an accident to a horse, which has to be put down, to a child's broken leg, the path leads inexorably towards a whirlpool of ritual sacrifice and murder which revolves around Susan and her teenage daughter, Janey.

Gordon McGill, the author of three Omen novels, has written a gripping helter-skelter of a book, relentless and bloody in its evocation of an age-old evil.

Meh, it was alright. Needed to be longer to understand the origins of the Stallion and its cult. This was a too short at 200 pages and didnt give you much if not, any background story about the Moors and the legend. This may have been better in the hands of James Herbert or even Guy N Smith.

The best part about this book is that I will never have to read it again.

I really enjoyed Stallion by Gordon McGill. It starts slowly but builds to a batshit crazy climax. Also, we need more horror books about horses, they are far more creepy and menacing in this book than I expected.

Vintage horror novels are WILD

I have no idea what the fuck I just read. There was a horse, jars full of horse penises, a murder, a dildo and a fax machine.
