Joseph D’Lacey rocks!

Author: Stephen King

Atmospheric and chilling ... an irresistibly intense debut novel with the potential to become a controversial horror classic.

Author: Dru Pagliasotti Source: The Harrow

Meat is a damning and workmanlike commentary on the human race’s ceaseless appetite for meat ... an undeniably powerful read.

Author: Mathew Riley Source: Bookgeeks

Without reservation, Meat is one of the most literate, astonishing, and intriguing books I’ve read in years.

Author: David Niall Wilson

People are going to discover that Meat is not just a speculative fiction novel with an underlying social statement, but that "Meat" is actually an important book and it should be required high school reading.

Meat is without question the most disturbing book I have ever read. Period.

Meat is horror, gruesome, and it has a message...compelling reading, and it will haunt me forever.

The story itself is captivating. D’Lacey gives the main character, James Kerrigan, a secret that even he isn’t quite aware of. D’Lacey does a great job dropping hints, but not quite revealing this secret until the right time. He definitely knows how to grab a reader’s attention and keep hold of it until the very end.

Reseña del editor:

Reclusive outdoorsman, Jimmy Kerrigan, finds himself battling a vampiric plague which threatens to destroy Hobson’s Valley, the isolated mountain community he calls home. When his family, friends and neighbours fall prey to the ‘Fugue’, Kerrigan is the only one who can save them and prevent the disease spreading beyond the remote town’s boundaries.

Kerrigan is uniquely equipped to deal with the outbreak. He carries a variant strain of Fugue enabling him to overcome and heal its victims. However, the nature of the illness ensures neither he nor those he hunts down are aware they’re infected. After feeding on humans, the diseased forget their behaviour. Even Kerrigan, having confronted or neutralised a Fugue, is unable to recall his actions as guardian of Hobson’s Valley.

The illness and its effects have, like tetanus, survived in the earth around the mountain 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.

Kerrigan is challenged beyond his limits when an innocent family of outsiders hikes straight into a wilderness crawling with Fugues – a wilderness he is responsible for. Can he really save them and protect the town? Can he defeat the creature who has caused the Fugue to mutate? And, most crucially, when he learns the horrifying truth about his own infection, will he even have the strength to try?
