A deadly kangaroo terrorizes a small town. ( ) A fun romp of a horror book, this is a meeting of everything I love about JAWS, but in a violent meeting with Tarantino style. If you pick up this book about a killer kangaroo in the Outback, seeing that cover and looking for horror, you're bound to get exactly what you're looking for, and it's kind of fantastic. Short and fast-moving, this is absolutely something you can read in one sitting, and it has so many characters that it's probably better if you do. If this sounds interesting to you, pick it up--you won't regret it. Recommended. Real Rating: 3.5* of five Good, violent fun from an Aussie horrorista with a Twitter cadre of loyalists who all have excellent credentials as writers. I hadn't considered one of Author Baxter's tales for my own entertainment before chancing on a well-loved writer's tweet encouraging all and sundry to do so. I did; I'm glad. Quite a ride! Curses, death wishes, and a lot of rage. Gore galore and the weirdest monster yet. But all in all, a sad take on the prevalence of hatred in the world. Roots go deep, cures don't. Author Baxter wrote a touching Afterword, one that says more in fewer words than any sermon ever could. The cover of this story is just about the coolest thing on my Kindle. Elderlemon Design (aka horror biggie Kealan Patrick Burke, who appears in the text as a publican) made it; what I love about that is the origin story that Author Baxter tells us...a joke, a cover, a story, and now a fictional exploration of the ungovernability of hate let loose. Plenty of gore, lots of rage, and throughout the proceedings, a steady heartbeat of caring, kindness, and acceptance. Not what I expected, in the best possible way. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
