As an undefined event sweeps the planet, it drives all of those who behold it to madness and then death, and the only thing Malorie can do is board up her house from the inside, and try to keep her children safe. “Bird Box” returns Malerman to the very essence of horror – fear of the unknown. Sprinkle with a returning God who may not be all that She seems, and it is easy to see why this is one of the biggest selling horror books of the year. Set during Japan’s bloody civil war, there is love, betrayal, duty… and some of the greatest battle scenes we’ve read this year. “The Shackles of a Name” is our stand out horror story of the year, not because the villains (the demon Oni) are the greatest monsters, but because the greatest monsters are the human protagonists. Martin Adil-Smith – The Shackles of a Name Following on from “Memnoch…”, Lestat awakens to find his world in crisis as a disembodied Voice raises the elders from their slumber, only to immolate fledgling blood suckers across the world. Rice’s return with the eleventh installment in the million-selling “Vampire Chronicles” series did no disappoint. King’s latest offering received mixed reviews, however we adored the Lovecraftian homage as we join the nomadic Jamie and his one time minister, Charles Jacobs, as their experiments in electricity unlock and elder darkness from beyond the void that threatens to engulf our world. 2014 has been a great year for horror books.
