Thrall: A Novel
A NovelThe last horror novel from Nick Harper, author of This Lonely Carcass Song and the Skittters series.......................................................................This is where it begins.At first, the only signs of infection were a glint of hatred in the pig's eyes. Then it stopped eating, stopped sleeping. Now, it just won't die. Gerald Pockett's farm has been infested with something unnatural, something horrific, and it wants to spread...On the run from her abusive husband, Sarah takes her daughter and the car and heads for her father's farmhouse. What she discovers there is more dangerous than any infestation - Gerald has secrets of his own, and they might just damn his whole family.With a dreadful beast on the rampage, and a would-be serial killer on her tail, Sarah finds herself more afraid than she's ever been. And when her sister, Megan, arrives with her girlfriend and the terrible story of a pig at the front gates of the farm - a pig with its throat slashed open - she knows the horror is only just beginning."Thrall" is a blood-soaked, high-adrenaline journey from one terror to the next and asks a simple what if the only thing standing between an infected, indestructible creature and the end of the world is a family at war with their own secrets?

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 to Thrall by Nick Harper
Hooking you from chapter one, but not just because of the pulpy genius premise. The author pulls you in by the depth of his characters and that depth stretches right through out Thrall. Yes, on the surface this is a book about zombie pigs, but beneath that it’s about a family dealing with a domestic abuse, alcoholism and a whole lot more. The premise pulls you in certainly, but you don’t end up reading this story for that, even though it’s executed perfectly. You read Thrall for Nancy, for Sarah, Lara, Megan, Gerald and even Alfie.
