Review: KILLING FLOOR by Mark Gillespie


5 Stars


Every single title I've read by author Mark Gillespie l enjoyed,  but above all my favorites so far are WAXWORLD and KILLING FLOOR.  Both rendered me speechless,  as the horror is so subtle at first,  creeping up to characters and reader on "little cat feet, like the fog." But make no mistake: the eventual delivery is deadly. Implacable,  inescapable,  unavoidable.  In KILLING FLOOR,  we watch as a tautly-knit but as yet unsuccessful rock band gets a weekend getaway to compose five new songs.  Then the horror is announced, but "oh, it's just a prank. Just BBC foolishness.  Just advertising." How wrong! KILLING FLOOR is a story you really cannot set aside or ignore. I can't stop wondering "BUT WHAT IF?"
