I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions are my own.

A small town becomes infected with mutant ticks in “The City of Tycles of the author Christopher A. Miklos”.

Synopsis

Welcome to Tick Town

Tomahawk Hollow has a huge problem. Slaughtered livestock. Disappearing cities. And something in the forest, fasting for blood. When a young reporter and her boss are investigating, they opened a group of giant mutant ticks, made the Wisconsin tourist city in the village of Wisconsin.

Now, with the annual anniversary of Harvest Moon, which will begin, Emalin and Jackson have to compete to find the Queen of a tick and her nest before a massive clutch of monstrous eggs hatch … and thousands of more horrifying ticks are unleashed in the world!

Curled with cinematographic actions, horror, fun and tension, Tick Town is an old school, pulsating cellulose adventure of horror. If you like the classical being, present fiction of horror such as jaws and Crabs Night or B-Monster Mayhem like them! And Starship Troopers, you’ll like Tick Town!

Review

I loved this novel of the horror of the pulp. The moment I was hooked to this story, I was transported back to my youth when my family and we watched the horror of the pulp to meet eight -legged freaks, with giant spiders taking out a small town. The author perfectly captures the same topic, inserting into the daily fears that people associate with insects and the inevitable feeling of trying to ahead of the threats far more than ourselves. The bright images and the fast leg of the story immediately transport the reader to the action, lost in the increasing threat that these beings represent and the dangers they represent.

For me, the real heart of this book was in the fantastic attention to the details that the author puts into the creation of classic tropes of horrors, which made them feel as classic but fresh in this story. From the small urban setting of Tomahouk Holo, to the teens who are hanging in the forest they know they should not be, next to an abandoned building that no one is approaching, but these children do it, and much more, this novel emits the iconic terrible tropes that made people such fans of the genre. The characters felt familiar from visitors outside the city who looked without good, the citizens took on the role of heroes and even laughing and destroyed characters you either love or love to hate.

Verdict

Ghostly, exciting and fun, Tick Town by Christopher Miklos is necessarily read the classics of the horror horror in creation, and one readers of the horror novel will want to be careful this summer. The twist in the story and the mixture of readers of entertainment and horrors receive, when they deepen and further in the story, they will stay with them long after the story is over.

Evaluation: 10/10
