United KingdomFairytale or horror story...?
Im a big fan of Davids horror stories, so when he asked me to beta read The Grinkle Nonk sometime last year, I was honoured, and obviously jumped at the chance! Then, as I started to read, I thought he'd sent me one of his childrens books by mistake! This was a fantastic, perfectly paced tale, that reels you in completely and then throws a shockingly brutal ending at you! It really lulls you into a false sense of security, but a pleasant one, that you want to continue reading. You feel for the main characters plight, and cheer when the mischievious kids plan backfires on them - horribly! This man can do extreme horror, I mean, he puts the extreme into extreme horror, but he can also lead you down a beautiful woodland path and mess with your head in horrific ways! This story left me with a big satisfied grin on my face! Fantastic!

Really enjoyed this fun tale of a girl befriending a monster.
