After the events of The Priory, Westford is quiet. However, a new evil has arrived.
Now, Jacob and his two sons see something fall from the sky. Moments’ later, they are attacked. Nancy, a hard-partying drop-out feels something inside her ear, and not just the ringing of music from last night’s party.
Trapped together in an old, derelict hospital, a stranger knocks on their door. A stranger who knows more than he lets on, and has a shocking story to tell.
Underneath Westford are tunnels, tunnels that go deep into the earth and lead to strange places.
With food and water running low and the creatures still outside, they have no choice but to trust the man. They will have to learn to work together to stop the destruction of Westford, and the world as we know it!
Reminiscent of James Herbert’s, The Rats trilogy, Vermin is part two of the Westford Chronicles.
Jonathan Wheatley is a professional copywriter by trade and a novelist by night. Influenced by the likes of Dan Simmons, James Herbert, H. P. Lovecraft and Stephen King, his novels are a mixture of contemporary horror and historical fact. A treasure trove of general knowledge and a dedicated movie, book and TV buff, his books are filled with easter eggs to entertainment culture.
Born and raised in Stamford, Lincolnshire; when he finally puts down his pen and paper and stops reading, he is a dedicated dad to his two sons, Sonny and Harlan. Jonathan wants to introduce writing and reading to a new generation and promote and encourage young and new writers.
The Priory is his first full-length novel, after previously publishing short stories and a serial novel on Wattpad and he is currently studying for a degree in Creative Writing and Literature with the Open University.
I like that it includes the characters from the first one and it's cleverly interwoven. Unfortunately again there are a few spelling mistakes, at one point one of the characters names is wrong as they haven't been in the story for a couple of chapters. At one point one of the paragraphs is repeated straight under it. The story is great the only downside is the proof reading. Not the authors fault.
