Visceral Violence | AstraDaemon

HOBBOMOCK by Ryan C. Thomas is extremely well-written horror. Everything from the setup with the prologue and the character relationships to the graphic action scenes and the backstory folklore increases the terror in this gut-ripping demonic siege.

Four friends plan a fun overnight when they find out they have a place to themselves in the woods, but their plans are brutally eviscerated by what appears to be a psychotic old lady. The group of teens soon realize they are dealing with a supernatural force and have no idea how to defend themselves. Eventually the author reveals how past events tie into the current bloodbath, offering a sliver of hope.

If this were ever made into a movie, I believe the Hobbomock could become the next iconic monster.

As always,
AstraDaemon
