Shreve, a no-hope town beside the UK’s largest landfill. There’s nothing Shreve’s jaded residents won’t stoop to in a bid to liven up their monotonous lives....

Desperate for a way out, Aggie makes a macabre pact with reclusive ex-photographer Mason Brand. When the town’s past catches up with it, their agreement might be the only thing that can save her.

In the spring of 1903, the 311, known to locals as “The Majestic”, carried more than 100 passengers on board toward a tunnel mouth that would allow the 13-car locomotive to pass safely through the underbelly of the Canadian Rockies. The tunnel swallowed the 311 whole, and the train - and everyone on it - were never seen again.

For graduate student Jeremy Freirs, citified, cynical, yet prone to daydreams, summer is the time to shed a few pounds and finally get some reading done for a course on Gothic literature. He's picked just the right place: the small, secluded village of Gilead, New Jersey, only 90 minutes from Manhattan but, with its antique customs and clannish traditions, seemingly centuries away. For farmers Sarr and Deborah Poroth, young members of Gilead's fundamentalist community, the summer threatens a conflict between their passionate natures and the stern dictates of their faith.

But over the centuries, legends grew of people vanishing, of strange, deformed animals and of an unexplained luminescence down in the lake depths. When Marcus Stenson won the lucrative contract to create a sturgeon fish farm on the site of disused paper mill on the shore of Lake Baikal, he thought he had won the lottery and refused to listen to the chilling folktales....

At long last, The classic horror novel on Audible
- By Shieldslinger on 07-22-20
By: F. Paul Wilson
Publisher's Summary
Eleven years after its original publication, this is the third edition of D’Lacey’s cult hit, containing an introduction by Michael Wilson and a brand-new foreword by the author.
In Abyrne, a strange town surrounded by a wasteland, the eating of meat is a sacred obligation. The town’s strict laws are brutally enforced by a ruthless Baron and a merciless Bishop.
Adored by the townsfolk is Richard Shanti, Abyrne’s famous bolt-gunner - the most efficient slaughterhouse worker in living memory. In private, however, Shanti is a gentle man; a husband, and father to twin girls. The growing guilt about his murderous job weighs him down. Beguiled by a rebellious heretic, Shanti uncovers the harrowing truth behind Abyrne’s history. When the town’s corporate and religious factions come into conflict, he must choose a side. By fighting for what he knows is right, Shanti will risk everything and everyone he loves. Meanwhile, the townsfolk are hungry. The townsfolk must be fed....

Holy Cow!!!
Holy Cow, what an amazing novel! Joseph D'Lacey is becoming one of my favorite horror writers. I don't want to re-veal too much about this book because it could spoil it. I can say that the atmosphere is an ultra dark, post apocalyptic, Orwellion squalor and the people want meat. D'Lacey pulls no punches and his story telling is second to none. A dark fiction fan's filet mignon. Five Stars*****

Joseph D'Lacey
It was very thought provoking. Couldn't put it down, and fell asleep for three nights in a row at around 03.00 - 04.00hh, kindle tablet in hands and glasses on. I recently heard some one say that, The only thing that keeps bad humans in check are rules and the Law. If people were given permission to do bad things to each other, many would take advantage. This book shows that exactly. Great read, but also very disturbing when we know that there is cannibalism in some parts of the world. Plus much cruelty to our livestock before slaughter in some industries.

Not for the squeamish!
This will be a difficult review to write, because I loved the start, and then the story seemed to lose something in the second half. Also I had an issue with the narrator. I absolutely LOVED the first half of this book. The set up, the parts in the slaughterhouse... It was so well written, thought provoking and intense. There were some incredibly disturbing things in it. The world building was excellent. I felt the second half, especially parts with Collins vs Magnus dragged a bit and I didn’t find it as interesting as the initial set up. The plot thread with Parson Mary investigating Shanti was good, although I felt it was almost forgotten as the resolution was just sort of slipped in at the very end. I didn’t really get the whole “breathing in sunlight and living off air only” thing. The whole idea that not eating gives you superpowers was pretty ridiculous. The section with Grenville Snipe was one of my favourites. A note on the narrator though... it was so frustrating having a narrator with a strong regional English accent. He didn’t say his ‘T’s half the time... it was very distracting hearing things like “Shan’i” instead of Shanti and countless other instances of missed Ts throughout the book. I understand that the author is English, but why not get an English narrator who speaks with a more neutral accent. Overall, even though it wasn’t perfect, it was definitely worth reading, and I may find on a second listen that I like the ending more.
