The BookViral Review:
Readers looking for a genuine nerve shredder need look no further than Tilbury’s Tales From the P.I.T Crew: Case of the Wayward Son! An entertainingly eccentric supernatural thriller that envelopes the reader in a blood curdling nightmare, it’s definitely one to be read with the lights on!
We know the requirements of the genre absolutely insist on a struggle between good and evil, with the best supernatural novels working because readers feel fully invested in the fate of their characters and this is something Tilbury achieves with consummate ease.
But Tales From the P.I.T, Crew isn’t one of those novels that falls back on trite and tired tropes or overreaches for the shock factor. Tilbury’s narrative is refined, playing with character perspectives to illuminate the terrifying nature of his chilling encounters as tensions rise to meet the expectations of his readers.
More importantly, he’s careful to balance the genre’s requisite shocks with scenes that set up the emotional stakes for his key characters. This being particularly true of his protagonist Dr Darrell Diamondback who is given a powerful backstory, told through flashbacks, as he finds himself and his new team under the constant, inescapable threat of death.
Tilbury has a gift for creating bizarre and eccentric characters, and a superb ear for dialogue and he has a dickens of a time melding Jaiden, Charlie and Ed (with more than a little help from Stravinsky!) into the formidable team they become. Each one contributing to Tilbury’s narrative spell as he creates a distinctive place for the imagination to linger whilst elevating Tales From the P.I.T Crew by sheer style into something wholly original.
A standout release for fans of Supernatural Fiction, tempered with perfectly pitched humour, Tales From the P.I.T Crew: Case of the Wayward Son proves a corker of a debut and is an unreservedly recommended five star read!
Patti Flinn brings us a fascinating foray into the complications of colour and gender in 18th Century France in ‘Veronique’s Journey’. This unique novella tracks the coming of age of a young black girl in a small town, who is buffeted by parental expectations and societal norms.
A guiltily pleasurable read, the charm of James’ Barwell Trilogy has stemmed from its vivid and unique characterizations and the final release in James’ trilogy will certainly meet the expectations of her readers.
Whilst the evolution of self-publishing has proved a genuine boon for readers the bar for publishing has been notably lowered and in no genre more obviously than Literary Fiction.
Dusk creeps upon you as you make your way home, bringing with it the stillness and dark of night. As one sense shutters another opens, magnifying each whisper of wind-every shuffle on the pavement behind you.
The last year has demonstrated that people will not stop buying books. They offer pleasure, escape, entertainment, and at the very least distraction. But what is the future of self-publishing?
Constant speed-reading and jumping from one hyperlink to the next have subconsciously trained our minds to absorb information superficially
