Publisher's summary

Brand new horror fantasy novel from best-selling author Iain Rob Wright.

An Irishman walks into a bar...

This isn't the first time Lucas Fergus has woken up next to the bins outside a bar, but it is the first time he's done so with no memory of the days before. Something bad has happened, but he has no idea what. And things keep getting worse. Is he finally paying the price for the things he's done during his long and debauched life?

With a sudden and unexpected change coming over him, Lucas finds himself trapped inside an old english pub with a group of people he doesn't much like. Someone is toying with him it seems; someone that has been holding a grudge for a very long time.

But messing with Lucas is a bad idea, for there is more to him than meets the eye. Soon there will be Hell to pay.

A fantasy horror novel with hearty doses of mystery and humour.

Another good one

Another exciting and suspenseful novel from Wright. This time we’ve got a story about the Devil himself hanging out in a pub and getting his drinking mates into a hellish (sorry) situation. I’ll save the plot to avoid spoilers but believe me there’s some cool and Interesting stuff here that is a bit different than the authors other work. If you love horror you can’t go wrong with Wrights books.

Aubrey parsons once again does a great job of narrating this one. His pace is quick and his voices are distinct. I’ll listen to anything he narrates in the future. I recommend the audio for sure if you like your stories that way.

I wish I hadn't waited so long!

I've had Blood on the Bar in my Audible library for months, and I regret not listening sooner. The story is gorgeously narrated and fantastically written. Wright throws twists into his writing more comfortably than a teenager makes pretzels at the mall.

Loved it. Can't wait for book 2.

Not quite what I was expecting

Not quite what I was expecting but thoroughly enjoyable despite that.

I thought it was a horror novel, but it's more of an urban fantasy about good vs evil. Devil turned good guy etc.

It's a long story, longer than you would expect to fit into just under 8 hours, you keep thinking it's all over but then ... NO, it just carries on, it did end eventually though, sadly. Lucas is hilarious, although I couldn't help comparing him to Lucifer from the show of the same name. The rest of the team are a rather entertaining bunch too, I recommend that you buy this book and find out all about them.

The narration is fantastic on this one, although Lucas's accent change threw me at first, it is apparently intentional.
