Sharp and to the point, elegant and smart, a proper set of horror thrillers. John Decker is a policeman with a 'past', however this is introduced subtly. Decker becomes a 'Monster hunter' as a result of his cracking first outing with a Loup Garou.
The stories develop as does the character of John Decker and you are NOT disappointed, well I wasn't. Sadly reading whilst at work is not possible so I am feeling deprived and am writing this in a lull.
The writing is crafted and the suspense is built up with a style that is not often found. The plots have that edge of possibility and the locations allow for the feel of travel and exploration. When asked what was I going to read after the first set of books the answer was simple, the next set.
I found this author while searching for horror stories, & what a find it's been i loved reading about John Decker & im now a definite follower of Anthony. M. Strong. I love the way he manages to pull you in to the book's for a great ride i will definitely be reading all the rest of his books. Action, Horror, Adventure, what more could anyone want from stories like these.Give this author a go I'm sure you will not be disappointed.
If you like sharp , strong , smartly written thriller/horrors then do not pass this set up. The first three stories featuring John Decker will have you hunting for more. An extremely likeable character, John is somehow drawn into hunting monsters. Great character development with John. You will not be disappointed.
