Publisher's Summary

Crick City is a small hick town. Violent, mean, and dirt-poor, it's a place nobody wants to call home.

But for homicide cop Phil Straker, it is home. And now someone—or something—is turning his boyhood town into a bloody sideshow of mutilation and gruesome carnage.

They're called Creekers. Centuries old, driven by rage and lust for revenge, they move through the deep, dark woods—deformed, shadowy outcasts with twisted faces and blood red eyes. Now, as the moon hangs low over their ancient house, they're gathering for a harvest of terror and death Crick City will never forget....

Masterpiece of horror fiction, amazing narrator

I have read alot of good books this year. Some absolute masterpieces but Edward Lee's Creekers is the best of the lot. It is by far the best book I have read in a long time.

Its about a hick town full of rednecks and an incompetent police department. Phil a city cop who grew up in the town however left now returns after being fired from the force in the city. The Creekers are an inbred community of deformed characters with brutal characteristics. They live in the woods nearby the town. Rumours of the Creekers and there debaucherous ways are a local legend with noone actually believing they could be true. Phill joins the local department to investigate a PCP syndicate which in turn leads him to The Creekers. I wont say much more as its definitely one I dont want to spoil for anyone but that's the gist of the plot.

The way Edward Lee describes the Creekers and there inbreeding and the deformities they suffer, how they speak, how they interact and such is brilliant. He paints the picture with his words and it's not a pretty one but very inventive. The plot itself is so intriguing with Phill attempting to find evidence of the local drug syndicates, fit back into the town and his interactions with its residents and the relationships he forms. There is an element of mystery surrounding the whole plot of what is actually occurring as the mutilated bodies of numerous people turn up skinned and bloody.

This also has some horrific scenes of torture, rape and overall violence which is hard to read but so compelling with how it is written. It's a brutal but not in a extreme horror way as its not way over the top as some books in that genre can be. It definitely difficult at times however to read.

The plot keeps you guessing, full of tension and makes you want to keep reading. I also did not guess the ending to it at all and was left awe struck with how it concluded.

A masterpiece of horror fiction. This review does not do it justice on how good this is. I listened to this on audible as I couldn't afford to get a vintage copy and the narrator is also amazing and perfect for the story as well so if you struggle like me to find a copy and do audio books you can check it out that way.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
