ONE LINER:
Escapees and Fevered Minds is a White-Knuckled Ride Through Hell Itself, With
Extreme Humour Thrown in For Kicks!
SYNOPSIS:
Escapees and Fevered Minds continues the
dark, twisted and wildly imaginative adventures of several larger-than-life
characters introduced in White Walls and
Straightjackets by David Owain Hughes.
Not to worry if
you haven’t read the first book; you will thoroughly enjoy this sequel as a
stand-alone novel. However, I suspect that once you’ve finished Escapees and
Fevered Minds, you’ll race to pick up the previous book.
If you enjoy your
horror on the more extreme side, then Hughes is your man. Not only because he
fearlessly and unapologetically explores the more disturbing side of the genre,
but also because he is clearly having a jolly good time telling this story. And
in turn, we do too.
Make no mistake,
Hughes holds nothing back and revels in taking his readers into a
splatter-filled heart of darkness, and he doesn’t shy away from gore,
over-the-top violence, graphic sexual deviance and profanity.
In the hands of
lesser authors, extreme horror tales such as this often risk falling victim to
their excesses. But Hughes is a talented author, and his ability to navigate
the surplus of gore and violence with solid storytelling is deceptive in how
easy he makes it look. He understands that pacing, the build-up of suspense and
intriguing characters are just as essential as the disturbing elements of the
plot.
It is a testament
to the lucidness of Hughes’ writing, that although the narrative slips back and
forth between past and present, and an intriguing use of flashback within
flashback and hallucinatory states, the reader never loses sight of where they
are in the story.
