Chophouse by Horns

Black Bed Sheet/Diverse Media Books

Trade Paperback $16.98 / eBook $3.98

260 pages

Release Date: May 2010

　

HORNS [Terry Erwin] has opened the pages of his imagination, and invites you, yes you, the innocent reader to join him on a ride of unimaginable terror. Keep the lights on. Those noises you hear, they are only your imagination playing tricks again. These horror books are no good for anybody of a lightweight disposition, who is scared of monsters that hide under the bed, or the local myths that surround the single man in flat 4, above you.

All of those fears are made flesh in Chophouse. It is violent, visceral, it is also very good. As well as being a book of horrific happenings, it is also a book of humanity, of characters you feel for, of the dread that keeps a hold of you, and won’t let go until every single secret is revealed to the innocent reader. Every single secret.

When night falls over the woodland community of Dominic County, many are sure that the Devil himself has arrived, with his evil minions intent on spreading their own terror and death.

So, we have the usual suspects in terms of characters. The Sheriff with too much on his plate, and not enough men, and the tragic childhood that still plays with his mind; the lovelorn young woman, who has chosen the wrong place and time to make changes to her life; an ambulance driver who finds himself in mortal danger, as well as a myriad of other characters all looking for a way out of the town where they have lived their lives, and hope not to die their deaths.

There is a rich and varied imagination at work in these stories, with enough details and character to keep the reader guessing, and scared at the same time. Things are never what they seem, and is it the devil and paranormal agents at work, or just the imagination and paranoia of the people at work?

I will not spoil the ending for you, but it is fitting, and will keep you awake for a while after.

8-29-2013 - Hey, guys and gals, well the writing world has been quiet in HORNS land. Waiting on publisher to get my mesmeric words out to the public, hopefully before that zombie apocalypse hits. Started a novel, been working hard around the house to usher in the coming of Little HORNS - painting, etc. My short story "Protection Order" has been placed in the brand-new anthology called READ US OR DIE!. Produced by my publisher, the book features a collection of Black Bed Sheet Books authors, myself included. "Protection Order" is particularly scary considering it is based on some seriously f*cked up events that I personally endured. So remember when you're reading it...fact can be more chilling than fiction. You can purchase the book from Black Bed Sheet Books directly, and it's now listed on Amazon. Just click the book image that follows to buy a copy!

4-07-2013 - Writer Jimmy Pudge declares,

​

​

"STATIONHOUSE NO. 1 takes a horrifying look at several high school students; the sinful lives they lead and the cruelty they can inflict upon one another. A spoiled sociopath, Bruce hatches a ruthless plan with his voyeur friend Rolf, but things go terribly wrong the night they decide to go to the Stationhouse. A slasher novel that takes a disturbing look at teenagers in today's society."

2-09-2013 - I'm a huge fan of PDF files. I love to read/see all my writing in this format. For the life of me I've never understood why editors and publishers refuse to accept manuscripts in PDF. At least my publisher has always worked in PDF. Another reason for me why they're the best around. If you don't have the free PDF reader, click the button to download it and join HORNS!​
