THE BIG BAD WOLF MEETS DEXTER

One city. Two killers.
A serial killer who preys on adulterers.
A supernatural shape-shifter who kills unknowingly once it becomes human again.
The city knows about the serial killer calling himself Sin Killer and leaving a weird poem on his victims. He is blamed for all the murders including the ones he does not commit.
Questions arise throughout the city whether Sin Killer is also capable of cannibalism since the victims are eaten and mutilated.
As the body count continues to grow, Police Captain Frank Penn is under heavy fire. He knows there is more than one killer in his city, but must keep it to himself until he solves the case.
With a plate full of trouble, he tries to withstand pressure from the mayor, the FBI, a city in fear, and two killers on the loose.

Plus, the knowledge of the supernatural killer is his own nephew. Frank Penn must make a decision that will change his life forever.

Review

" Im not going to spill the beans too much about this book because I don't want to ruin it for you and to some extent, I also don't think I can ever do it justice. Things That Go Bump In The Night: Here There Be Monsters is achingly, genuinely beautiful, while Wilson Jackson's writing is fluid and incredibly descriptive.


It is a classic suspense horror thriller. It all started when Jalen, a young attorney, and his fiancée were out camping in the woods. All of a sudden, Jalen was attacked and got bitten by some beast in the middle of night. He got through the attack. However, things started to get creepy when his wounds disappeared out of nowhere. This begins his bizarre double-life which he absolutely knows nothing about. Meanwhile, a serial killer is also on the loose leaving weird poems to his victims. It was a hell of a roller coaster ride for Police Captain Frank Penn to solve the case especially after knowing one of the killers is his own nephew.


Jackson seemed to really know the art of well-timed revelation, waiting until just the precise moment to let something slip, gives a different angle, or totally blow your mind. I read it slowly because each chapter gave me something to think about. Either it's a new hint to the mystery, or a secret finally told, that I wanted to contemplate for a while. When I finished reading, I closed the book, let out a big sigh of contentment and sadness at the same time. From the length of my exhalation, I realized I must have held my breath for half the book.


Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves fantasy, thriller, paranormal and mystery. It is definitely a must-read!"

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good
Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2016
There's some grammatical and spelling errors in this book; however, I love the concept of both a serial killer and a werewolf in the story. Good story lines and a steady amount of action. You can't really appreciate the serial killer's character until the very end, where we see just how much of a psycho he really is. The climactic ending could have been longer, it felt as if it was too rushed and over too quickly. Otherwise it was a pretty good read. The ending does leave it open for a future story.

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2014
Two killers frightening a city. The FBI and the Mayor are wanting Police Captain Frank Penn to catch the two killers. The Sin Killer, kills people who commit adultery. The shape shifting killer doesn't know he kills when he turns human. Frank Penn is related to one of the killers. The plot was different and interesting. I would read the authors books anytime.

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2017
Things that go bump in the Night: Here there be Monsters, by Wilson Jackson, is a classic suspense horror thriller. We don’t want to tip any cards by giving spoilers, but in short, the book kick-starts the reader into action from the very beginning when a young attorney, who is out camping with his fiancee, is attacked and bitten by some creature in the night. He survives the attack, in fact, his wounds disappear miraculously, and therein begins his bizarre double-life, one which he knows nothing about, but every day the newspapers report gruesome murders around his town and the police are desperately hunting for the serial-murderer. The dialogue in this book is as interesting as the thematic aspect of the murders themselves. One feels a sense of empathy for the young man who has no cognizance whatsoever that he is the very beast whom law enforcement is trying to catch. His “other” life, as an attorney and soon to be married man, starts to fall apart as the hidden beast within him permeates his existence. From an editorial stance we consider that overall the book is well-written, however there are a few places where the author skips a ratchet and suddenly takes the reader from one scenario to another without a lead-up or warning, and the editing style could be improved upon so that transitions from one scene to another are more evident to the reader. Aside from those aspects, the book carries itself well and it holds the reader right to the last page as one wonders, will he beat the beast or succumb to it? Lock the doors, crawl into bed and wrap yourself in the blankets and start reading … and don’t be startled by bumps you may hear in the night – it’s just your imagination, or is it?
