Imagine your worst fear. A fear that eats away at you - fear of death, of illness, of needles, of fire. Even of feeligns themselves. In London, Emma Tate's life is collapsing around her - her job is in jeopardy, her parents have been killed in a car crash for which she blames herself, and her husband's business is failing. Seeking respite, Emma, her husband and two of their friends hope to find some temporary peace in a country house. But Roxton is a place of strange secrets. What is the reason for the closure of the mine? What riddles are hidden in the stained glass of the church? What mysterious force is at large? Emma's desire to uncover these secrets will lead her into a nightmare from which there will be no waking.

Twisted Souls Reviews

  • Natalie Gazey

    What an amazing ending! !!!

  • Geoff Battle

    Shaun Hutson is one of the kings of pulp horror fiction. In Twisted Souls the story is derivative and unoriginal, a sleepy village town hiding a sinister secret. No marks for originality with plot, although Hutson excels himself with a cringe worthy miasma of horror. The scenes in Twisted Souls are very twisted indeed, far harder then in most of his work. Overall, the short and simple yarn is an easy read and keeps your interest until the somewhat predictable end.

    Quick and easy read with short chapters.

    The beginning is a bit confusing with too many characters introduced, chopping and changing back between people. There was one character throughout the story that seemed a bit of a pointless add on as she never interacted with anyone else or added anything to the plot - just a bit of padding really. The ending was also quite abrupt, with not much action until about 4/5th's of the way through.

    I didn't hate it though - the plot was intriguing enough to keep me turning the pages and it hasn't put me off reading any of the authors other books. I wouldn't pay full price for it, but as a library read or picked up from the charity shop it's worth a glance if you like horror.

    Not bad, Shaun Hutson continues to do what he does best , gory, crude and horrific.

    Short chapters keep the story tumbling along, whilst not the most elaborate of tales, it kept me interested until the end.

    Worth a looking at.

  • Lisa

    Two couples take a break from their London problems for a holiday in Derby. Staying in a remote cottage they find out weird things about the locals who they discover worship a being that feeds on fear. Not a great read and awful characters

  • Meg



    I absolutely loved this book, until the ending. I mean uhhh was that it? After all that? Oh well it was pretty darn good, but then again I'd say that about any of Hutson's books.

  • Carmilla Voiez

    An enjoyable read although I felt too much time was spent looking in mirrors for a book which didn't seem to have reflection(s) as a theme.

  • Rachael Bailey

    Seem very slow going and once the action did start the book ended, not one of shaun's best.

  • Claire

    I didn't like this book very much. A bit too much violence for me, although the descriptions were good...perhaps too good for me!
