Gripping

Relics is only the second book I have read by Shaun Hutson - the first being Compulsion - so I cannot compare it to his other books, but I thought that it was very good. Relics is genuinely scary in places and features truely nasty death scenes. After a team of archaeologists uncover an ancient underground sacrificial chamber filled with childrens skulls, the novel turns into a combination of supernatural slasher (with a body coutn well into the double figures - there's a very bloody death every 30 pages or so!) and mystery whodunnit as archaeologist Kim, along with a police officer, try to figure out who is commiting the grotesque murders, and what connection it has to the Druid relics found in the underground chamber. Very compulsive reading, I read the second half of the book in one go because I just couldn't put it down.

FIRST READ AND BEST READ!

This was the first ever book i read of Shaun's, followed by Slugs and Breeding Ground, I have to say that I am absolutely hooked on his books, this one in particular was superb to read, had some very shocking moments in it, in fact some very very very shocking moments in it. Great and I cannot wait until he brings more out!!!

Better than the average Hutson

I have read a number of his books, my favorite being Erebus. This one worked for because it was bleak, frightening and had a much better ending than ususal (much like Erebus.)
