The long awaited return of the multi award winning saga by
Mike Bennett, is finally over with the return of the Underwood and Flinch chronicles,
Volume 3 Blood and smoke.
"Blood & Smoke" is a great new audio
novel from Mike Bennett. Though I highly recommend the podcast to all fans of
horror and suspense, this does come with the warning that the subject matter is
extremely graphic and intense in content. It is never gratuitous, however, for
to hold back anything depicted in its chapters would betray the premise and the
story would suffer for it.
“Blood & Smoke” proves
that not only has Bennett grown as an artist over his last few novels, he is
also brave enough to follow a story where it leads. Stephen King stated that
once he finished “Pet Sematary” he put it away in a drawer
thinking it too extreme for publication. The shock and awe of this high
adrenaline narrative has much the same effect of that King novel or “The
Exorcist.”
If you can endure the extreme horror of writers
like Edward Lee, I highly recommend this venture by Mike Bennett. He takes the listener
into the bleak darkness of addiction and obsession, but rather than relying on
gore and shock, it is his emotionally charged depictions of the damned
characters at its core that keep you hooked.
