Kill Creek introduces
readers to some of the best horror writers, including Sam
McGarver. These four authors share something in common: their
sales have been slipping. They are invited to spend Halloween
night at the Finch House as a publicity stunt created by a
gentleman named Wainwright. All of them decide to go despite
their hesitations. The Finch House is known to be a little
spooky and possibly a little bit haunted. After their night,
they go home to go about their businesses but little do they
know how that one night will affect them, their writings,
and the rest of their lives.
The setting
of the Finch House is the classic scary and abandoned house
that everyone knows about and tries to avoid but usually curiosity
gets the best of them. It is perfect for this horror novel.
Kill Creek reminded this reader a lot of The
House of Haunting Hill but adds a twist to it. The character
development of each author was done nicely and Thomas was
able to keep each one’s characteristics separate and
stick with each character.
Any horror
or suspense fan will thoroughly enjoy Kill Creek.
Scott Thomas has done an amazing job in bringing horror back
to the mainstream and I hope that he continues writing more
horror novels.
