About this listen

The latest novel by British Fantasy Award ‘Best Newcomer’, Joseph D’Lacey. When a vampiric plague threatens to destroy isolated mountain community of Hobson’s Valley, it falls to reclusive outdoorsman Jimmy Kerrigan to save his neighbours and prevent the disease from spreading beyond the remote town’s boundaries. Kerrigan is uniquely equipped to deal with the outbreak: he carries a variant strain of Fugue that enables him to overcome and heal its victims, but the nature of the illness ensures neither he nor those he hunts down are aware they’re infected. The illness and its effects have, like tetanus, survived in the mountains for countless generations. The lineage of Fugue Hunters has always been able to reverse an outbreak, but not this time; someone wants the disease to spread and, in combination with a mutation of the virus, Kerrigan realises he may not be strong enough to contain it.

Meh

I generally don’t read vampire books because I feel like it’s been done to death. And after listening to this I am convinced yet again that I should steer clear of them.

These ‘fugues’ were slightly more interesting than the usual type of vampire, but they were overall underwhelming.

Basically every ‘horror’ scene with a fugue involves some sort of sexual content. I almost feel like the audible preview was all I needed to listen to, because several parts of the book seemed to just recycle that scene in slightly different ways.

Overall I felt it was way too many sex scenes, which were not scary, and it almost didn’t feel like a horror novel at all.
For the majority of the book, there weren’t many deaths, except in the last 45 minutes or so.
The tree... it was a weird aspect of the story and was not scary at all.

After reading the excellent ‘Meat’ by the same author, I was very disappointed in this novel.
