"The Damned" is now out!

 

So buy it, read it and enjoy the blood!

 

Scream, people! MWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

 

Still need persuading

about the blood-curdling brilliance

of this gore-drenched trilogy?

Read on...

 

"Among the very best in a new generation of horror writers, David Gatward will have you terrified to turn the page - even though you know you must. The Dead ranks among the scariest, most compelling tales you're likely to read"

(Tommy Donbavand, Scream Street)

 

"An absolute blast, with a headlong plunge of a plot and some of the vilest monsters I've ever been (un)lucky enough to come across"

(Sam Enthoven, Black Tattoo, T.I.M. Defender of the Earth, Crawlers)

 

"David Gatward knows his horror. His rip-roaring horror novels have unchained my inner teenager all over again! His books are a tour-de-force of dark imaginative delights that put a supernatural streak of much needed fun and fear back into the kind of horror storytelling that will inspire a new generation"

(Jake West, horror movie director/writer)

 

Stuart Barr, Frightfest: "How often can you legitimately raise the specter of Lucio Fulci when reviewing a book aimed at younger readers? For that alone Gartward deserves some kudos"

(Stuart Barr, Frightfest) 

 

"HP Lovecraft would be rolling in his grave, cackling with delight... if Gatward hadn't resurrected him for these masterfully macabre books"

(Andy Briggs, Hero.com, Villain.net)

 

"I think David Gatward is going to become a big name in YA horror circles"

(bookzone4boys) 

 

"Equal parts terror, splatter and fun"

(myfavouritebooks)

 

"Gatward has managed to do the nigh-on impossible here by reinventing the zombie novel and spinning it into his own mythology"

(spinechills)

 

"The kind of book that will inspire ... life long lovers of the horror genre"

(bookzoneforboys)

 

"There is no denying that David Gatward knows his horror. The Dark is a veritable gore-fest!"

(thebookbag)
