Product Description

When Chris and Ruth Stainforth move to a pleasant coastal village to start a new life with their six year old son, David, it seems like a dream come true. Or so they think. But they have no way of knowing that the village was once a sacred site for the old religion. And that the old god is not dead -- just waiting. Already its power stirs, changing supernaturally what it touches. It ought to herald the dawn of a new age of miracles. But when the power arouses the sleeping horror-cargo of a ship that sank thirty years ago, the magic is tainted. And Chris, Ruth and David find themselves right in the path of a living-dead nightmare made all too murderously real ...

4.0étoiles sur 5 My 100-word book review, Mars 21 2007
Nailed by the Heart, Simon Clark's debut novel, is a gripping, visceral story of ancient evil and supernatural powers, which I found occasionally reminiscent of John Carpenter's movie The Fog. I liked the story's location, a half-derelict fort at the very edge of the sea, and encountered plenty of uncomfortable and scary moments as the forces of evil started to close in on the good folks. This is not for the squeamish, as it contains some stomach-churningly gruesome scenes, and the writing does have a few rough edges, as befits a first novel. However, it is definitely worth a look!

4.0étoiles sur 5 Sacrifice and red zombie warriors, Juil 28 2003
Par ZombiKitty "zombikitty" (Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
The Stainforth family moves to a small town on the coast after buying an ancient fort that they plan to turn into a hotel. They soon discover that all is not right with the little town and the fort by the sea (of course, because this is a horror novel, after all), and find that they, and especially the young child David, are in mortal danger when these creepy, red, warrior, zombiesque creatures rise out of the sea and plant themselves outside the walls of the fort. The inhabitants of the town also take refuge within the walls of the fort, and then actual zombies show up, adding to the intensity of the confrontation.
I enjoyed this one. Clark is very good at evoking a strong sense of atmosphere in his tales and at describing images that are frightening on an almost primal level. He brings to life the coastal fort and the creatures that pop up out of the water and fog to threaten it. I give the book 4 instead of 5 stars because it reads a little choppily in parts, as if it were perhaps edited badly, and because the underlyting theme of sacrifice comes across as a bit forced in places. It is still quite a creepy book.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Very Impressive First Novel, Jui 21 2003
Par William M Miller (Bronxville, NY USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I've read Simon Clark before (Darker, Blood Crazy). This book is better than Blood Crazy, but not as well thought out as Darker. That being said, it was an enjoyable read with some good atmosphere and a pace that keeps up its rhythm until the powerful end. Simon could work on developing his characters a little more, but I was completely satisfied with the experience. This author promises to be one to look out for in the world of horor. Stay tuned.
