April has come and gone and that means it's time for me to pick my favorite book of the 11 I read during April.
While my numbers were down (each of the past 3 months this year I'd read 13 books), I did read more 5-star books than any month.
As the image on the blog post suggests, April was a month of Paperbacks from Hell! which continues my deep dark journey into the world of 70's and 80's horror mass market paperbacks.
The re-issue of LET'S GO PLAY AT THE ADAMS' by Mendal W. Johnson was a welcome (and somewhat disturbing) distraction from reality whilst WALKERS by Graham Masteron and BLOOD MIST (review forthcoming) by Robert James were fun entertaining reads. However, it was CANNIBALS by Guy N. Smith which took out my book of the month.
From my review:
The stars of the show, those crudely malformed and murderous mountain dwelling cannibals, are truly menacing. Everything about them screams scary.From the book blurb:
Deep in the mountain caves of Blair Long lurks a band of monsters - half-human creatures hideously mutated after generations of inbreeding. This is the dark secret of a remote Highland village - a secret kept safe until a local fisherman builds some holiday chalets to attract tourists. Then the shameful conspiracy of silence is shattered at last - as the horrendous creatures shamble from their lair to mutilate and kill the unsuspecting visitors.
