Tony Vaughan reviews The Twinmere Beast

Tony Vaughan recently shared his thoughtful and vivid reflection on The Twinmere Beast:

“Superb story telling. Very economical style where every word counts which is so refreshing in today's bloated books. The beast is never explained; it just is, which I like. The story moves along at breakneck speed without sacrificing essential detail. As someone who knows Essex / Suffolk coastline well, I could picture the places and scenes. The book finishes without a resolution; again something I enjoy in certain stories and what happens next is very much up to your imagination. I would very much welcome a sequel or story within the world the author has built. The highest compliment I can pay this book is that it would make a great modern Hammer horror film. Highly recommended.”

Reading Tony’s review genuinely means a great deal to me. It’s incredibly rewarding to hear that the simplicity of the style and the pace of the story resonated so strongly. I’ve always believed that sometimes what is left unsaid can be just as powerful, so knowing the mystery of the beast and the open ending connected with a reader is really special. And the thought of it as a modern Hammer horror… I couldn’t ask for a finer compliment. I’m truly grateful for such a generous and thoughtful reflection.
