*Spoiler Alert*A couple weeks back when Mr. Turning the Pages went to a friend's house one evening I commandeered his iPad and set about reading Progeny one of the Kindle freebies that I had downloaded for Mr. Turning the Pages to read. After looking the book up on Goodreads I couldn't start reading the book fast enough. It's no secret at all that I enjoy a good monster novel especially when the monster happens to be Big Foot. Honestly how can anyone not love a horror novel featuring one of theFinished this one just last night. It would be your typical hunters-stumble-on-monsters (hunters = bad, monster = misunderstood) book, but...Patrick does an excellent job bringing his characters to life. What could have been a simple tale turns out to be complex on several levels.
This was a different type of story for me to read being a fan of zombie books but a friend had recommended it and I am so glad she did! From the first chapter I was hooked into it. This story is not just about the all eluding creature that we have all heard stories of for years but it is a story about fathers and sons and their relationships. The characters in this story are made more real by Mr. Greenes writing ability. Yes this is a true horror story with blood and gore and with it being about
Ive encountered this authors work once before in the introductory volume of The Endlands anthology. My reintroduction to the author with this book has been a fantastic experience. Patrick C. Greenes Progeny takes us to woods of North Carolina, where an up and coming writer moves from the big city to the country. Not long after his arrival, he discovers that there is more to the peaceful mountains than he first realizes. A series of ominous encounters with mysterious figures haunting the
I received a copy of Progeny through a goodreads giveaway. The book was smooth and super easy to read. (view spoiler)[A man, Owen Sterling, buys land from the local Tsalagi tribe with the promise not to sell or exploit the land. Quickly you learn something else is living on the land and Owen takes it upon himself to keep the family of sasquatch safe. Of course that won't stop a group of guys from hunting illegally on Owen's land. I of course start figuring this was going to be a typical horror
Centred around two families this is the tale of Big Foot - no spoilers there if you read the blurb. Patrick C. Greene has certainly delivered another spot on story.Owen, the famed author, and his son Chuck are trying to rebuild a shattered relationship post a messy divorce, this side issue is touched on briefly but with such tenderness that you feel for all parties concerned, especially when I learnt about the catalyst later in the book. In almost a juxtaposition is sensitive Byron and his
Owen Sterling is a reclusive author living in a secluded house deep in the woods.This is not the usual "Man comes face to face with monster and runs screaming from woods" tale. It is a story about family told between species. I love it when a writer brings a legend to life but does not belabor the possibilities of the legend. It is a well told tale with a bit of gore included. I would not recommend it to the under fourteen age group. I would recommend it to every one else who enjoys a good read
