Hounded Book 3: There’s more blood…more guts…more glory!

by Ellie Douglas

PART 3 OF AN ELECTRIFYING 3-PART SERIAL HORROR THRILLER!
Part 3 picks up where Part 2 left off, continuing to follow Bellamy Foster and his group of survivors in their efforts to find his twin brother as well as a safe haven in a world gone insane.
The determination of the Foster brothers will keep you on the edge of your seat. Always on the move, they encounter a far vaster evil than that of the zombie dogs. The infected SD-16 human coma patients may now be becoming something else altogether.
As they travel across the country and through war-torn cityscapes, they’ll have to face down more than they’d bargained for. With law and order a distant memory as corrupt human survivors take matters into their own hands, Bellamy must put his own life at risk on multiple occasions.
Will he reach the end unscathed, or will he and his team perish before he’s even found his brother? It’s not just the alive versus the dead anymore - the stakes are higher now, with new love, new life, and the brutality of the living.
Can they continue to escape the four-legged zombie dogs, and now the two-legged human abominations bent on devouring them?
HOUNDED makes no attempt to water-down its grizzly content, it laughs in the face of conformity and continues it's rampage of blood and carnage. Ellie Douglas has accomplished what so many authors before her have failed attempting, and has written a novel that truly personifies the word "horror" Hounded is a gore lovers dream from it's first page to it's last. With countless mutilations, dismemberment and gross bodily functions, it is short on neither terror nor gore and is a must-read for any horror fan with a strong enough stomach. But don't be fooled by this outline, unlike most gore-fests which rely heavily on graphic content to fool the reader into thinking they are reading quality work, Hounded accompanies it's gruesome choice of words by incorporating a strong, flowing and extremely well thought out narrative. Hounded takes it's inspiration from the tried and tested zombie virus plot, then twists and molds it, and cranks it up to 11,making it not only twice as terrifying, but twice as interesting as your usual undead flick. What sets Hounded above the rest is it's ability to create a completely unique zombie plot, whilst also keeping it well in the realms of possibility. This enhances the believability of the story, which, in turn, creates the sense of dread and horror. – Amazon Reader

About the author

I’m Ellie Douglas, and like you, I love horror, everything about horror, the goriest and most gruesome of horrors is the ultimate. I can’t get enough. So much so that I write horror. That need to be graphic, and explicit with my horror scenes makes me stand out. I give what I want to read to others, so now they can enjoy a true horror story.

I’m not all about just being graphic, I also build characters that the readers will love and or hate, so they can feel pulled right inside of the story that they are reading. It gives me so much enjoyment when I hear remarks like, ‘You made me want to puke,’ ‘I have nightmares every damned night –thanks,’ and ‘Quentin Tarantino and Steven King made a baby, YOU!’ when I hear comments like that, I know then I’ve succeeded, that also pushes me into writing more and becoming even better.

I’m fun loving, generous and very mysterious. I enjoy spending time with my family, and have four children to keep the horror writing alive. I enjoy helping others and volunteer my services to help Autistic children, I love cosplay and the chance to dress up as a monster, zombie or some other gritty character is fun, oh so much fun.

I love summer, and well…I hate winter. I live in New Zealand and feel often too far away from all the cool stuff going on in the world. I love helping people all the time. I’ve got my hands dipped in a few things, I write books, but I also make professional book covers for other authors, I also create adult coloring books and I have a gambling app that I designed on the apple store :) I’ve always got a project going, be it writing or creating, that is who I am and I love it :)

My ultimate aim is to give back, paying it forward, to constantly better myself and give the audience amazing stories. Let me scare you…
