The Wicked
After a fire consumes the Heller Home for Children, the residents of Morganville, North Carolina thought they knew evil...
They were wrong.
Unaware of the turmoil in their new hometown, the Littles--David, Kate, and seven-year-old Becca--are moving from New York City to Morganville in hopes of repairing their own lives, which were recently shattered by an act of sexual violence.
Before long, David realizes that his family's troubles are worse than he could ever have imagined.
An ancient demon lurks beneath the town of Morganville, an unholy creature conjured into existence by the Heller Home tragedy.
Its name is Moloch.
It is hungry for the souls of the townspeople.
But most of all, Moloch wants the children. It will not rest until it has them.
All of them.
The Wicked. Oh, how I love you. I mean, look at this cover! This book is true horror, the entire story teemed with the classic feel of 1980s horror. I grew up loving all things horror. Watching movies like The Gate, The Lost Boys, Fright Night and Halloween over and over again, in addition to reading anything in the genre I could get my hands, make up some of my best childhood memories. In this one, we have the classic tale of evil taking over and almost completely annihilating a small town.The
"A place possessed... by an unholy being named MOLOCH."An ancient demon lurks beneath the town of Morganville, an unholy creature conjured into existence by the tragedy at the Heller Home for Children. And it wants the souls of the townspeople...Well, this was a DAMN good time! If you're a fan of 80s horror, then this is a book you need to pick up. The perfect homage to all the things we love about 80s horror - but the only difference between this and quite a lot of 80s horror is that this is
The Little family: David, Kate and their daughter Becca, head off to start a new life in Morganville, after Kate was sexually assaulted back in New York. Unbeknownst to them, the town has a dark history: the Heller Home for children burned to the ground on August 12th 2002 with a high casualty rate. And lurking beneath the town is a demon, Moloch, who is hungry for the souls of the townsfolk; especially those of the children. Moloch' is one of those twisted demons that has a sick sense of
There's not one single thing about this book that I didn't love! From front to back cover and everything contained in between, it was all bloody fabulous! It is the perfect homage to 80s horror and had me sucked in from the moment I laid my eyes on the cover. My favourite part of this book was the characters. There was something about each of them that made me fall in love with them. They were all so well fleshed out and developed, you can't help but become attached to them. My favourite though
A delicious 80's-style horror romp that goes over the top and beyond, and makes for a hell of a fun read in the process.This is the 4th book I've read from the talented James Newman, and I am still in awe of his exceptional ability to effortlessly pull me into the world's he creates.This book reads like a love letter to the excessive horror novels of my teenage years. A roller-coaster thrill ride that relentlessly churns away to an explosive battle of good vs. evil finale.Excellent read.
I was really excited about this book, but unfortunately it was a miss for me. I understand why so many people love it: the author has definitely known the 80s, which was a great decade for horror. I grew up with a love for horror and many of the first horror movies I saw were the classics from the 60s, 70s and of course the 80s (not that I actually recommend to make any child watch those movies, hum). Now, I'm from the 90s but there many movies from earlier decades that I love and the 80s
