The Travelling Man
By Matt
Drabble
Genre: Thriller,
Horror
Synopsis:
The
small desert town of Granton is a typical slow boiling pot of unfulfilled hopes
and dreams. Every hard working day is much like any other here where little
ever changes.
Sheriff
Cassie Wheeler runs a tight ship in the tradition of her late father. There is
little serious crime to trouble her department, save for the local miners’
occasional rowdiness after payday.
But
Granton has its share of secrets hiding behind twitching curtains. Small town
folks often have the biggest of ambitions.
Now the
long dusty road into town has brought with it a stranger. A man of elegance
calling himself Gilbert Grange has arrived. He brings with him a bag full of
dreams and a silver tongue of promise. He can give you whatever you desire, all
you have to do is sign on the dotted line.
The
residents of Granton are about to discover that dreams can come at a terrible
price, and you should always be careful what you wish for.
Review:
If you're a fan of Stephen King's Needful Things then you have to get this book. Great character development that grabbed me from the first read, creepy as hell descriptions and a main character I wouldn't hesitate to hang out in a dark alley with. Cassie Wheeler is a kick ass heroine who doesn't take anything lying down. Great story...still reading and can't put it down...I even went and bought Asylum...
5/5
Author Bio
Born in Bath, England in 1974, a
self-professed "funny onion", equal parts sport loving jock and comic
book geek.
From an early age reading so many works
of varied authors, I took the somewhat foolhardy decision to attempt my own
novel.
I now have eight novels available,
"Asylum - 13 Tales of Terror" “,Gated", "Rapture
Falls", "Fangsters" and my latest novels
"Abra-Cadaver" & a new horror anthology "After Darkness
Falls" Volumes One and Two. I have also just published a sequel to
"Gated" called "Gated II: Ravenhill Academy"
“Gated” was a UK Horror Chart #4 best
seller.
“Asylum – 13 Tales of Terror” was a
Horror/Anthology Chart #1 for over a year and voted #5 on The Horror Novel
Reviews Top 10 Books of 2013.
“Abra-Cadaver” recently won an Indie
Book of the Day award.
I have recently been signed by Taylor
Street Books in San Francisco who will be producing my novel "The Montague
Portrait" and I am currently writing "Double Visions"
