Dante's Town of Terror by Patrick R. Delaney is the first part of the Infinity Killer trilogy. A camping trip. It should have been the perfect weekend for Brian, Bill, and Cathy but it turned into the weekend from hell. Taking a wrong turn on the journey, the trio finds themselves lost in a deep forest. This is no ordinary forest though; it isn’t just full of wild animals but monsters too. Monsters that are hungry for blood. On the run, they manage to find their way to a deserted town, a place they should have been safe in. But their hell was only just beginning. Constant rain, dead bodies everywhere, blood all over the place, a mysterious person from the past, everything conspiring to stop them from escaping. Just what is this town and can they get away with their lives? What should have been the perfect weekend is now a fight to survive.
Dante’s Town of Terror by Patrick R. Delaney is a gripping story, alive with vivid imagery. The story is a little slow getting off the ground but when it does, you’d better hang on for dear life. Patrick Delaney has a real talent, a meticulous sense of detail that will leave nothing and everything to your imagination. The descriptions are excellent, bringing the story alive in your mind, seeing it, living it, and every chapter will leave you shivering in anticipation for the next one. Be prepared to enter a world like no other, a world of suspense, terror, a new dimension. Don’t bother trying to work out the ending; every time you think you have it, you’ll come up against something that changes everything. The characters' stories are brought out gradually and they are developed slowly but surely. Really looking forward to book 2; I hope it’s as good as this one.
