Gary Fry's latest novella, MUTATOR, brings a new outlook to the science fiction/horror genres. The story sets out with the perfect set-up, a professor moving into a new neighborhood (with his beagle, Damien). A chance encounter with his neighbor gives us the first inkling that "something" was not quite right with either the house, or it's former occupant.The pace picks up rapidly from there, leading James to discover the secrets left behind from the previous owner, and a more perplexing "threat"...
I started reading this novella at work, thinking I'd read to kill time in between tasks. After only a few chapters, I was telling myself, "Just one more chapter and then I have to get back to work." Five minutes later, I was still reading and saying the same thing! I really didn't want to put this one down, even for a moment - after a few pages of setting the scene and getting to know the characters, Fry picked up the pace of the book and kept me fascinated with the storyline through the entir...
This is the third of 3 reviews on new releases in Darkfuse's continuing series of new novellas in the horror genre.I have been keeping close tabs on Gary Fry's writing. He is one of those horror writers that seem to be onto something different and always experimenting. He comes across traditional but innovative at the same time. I like that. If he doesn't always hit the nail on the head he at least dents it every time he puts pen to paper. In Mutator, he not only hits the nail on the head, he ra...
The Yorkshire Dales weather of wild winds is the setting of the story’s opening, as it is apropos my reading in the wild winds of Snowdonia although at least I’m comfy in a sunroom overlooking the misty, moisty, mountains.The reader settles into this story beginning soothingly enough with fine setting and repartee between the retired prof and his posh mounted neighbour. Then along comes those kind of phrases that signify a Gary Fry narrative “…his words ringing in all the silence that settled ar...
Gary Fry is a new and prolific writer whose influence of Classic horror stores is almost transparent within his own writing. This is not a bad thing, however. Indeed, this gives a much needed spice to his stores that are lacking in a lot of today's horror stories. In a way, you could say that an older style of story telling in today's horror literature scene is refreshing is a strange thing. But I don't think so. What makes it refreshing is Fry's talent for crafting these stories so that they're...
Mutator by Gary Fry and published by DarkFuse is a story of discovery, or finding things concealed in the darkness. James Parry a retired professor moves to a new home in the country along with his instinctive beagle Damian and discovers the idyll he craves after a life of hard work in academia. The house and bucolic surroundings offer all the peace and privacy he needs. But if Gary Fry’s story takes you to a peaceful Yorkshire village you know the walls of quiet solitude will be smashed soon en...
Fun read and very reminiscent of early 1940s type Amazing Stories/pulp short stories.
Mutator is a novella from Gary Fry that for me pushed pretty much all the right buttons, brought a genuine feeling of unease at the beginning, was methodically paced and ended in a satisfactory conclusion. James and his beagle Damian (great name for a dog by the way) have moved into a new secluded property and he’s just settling in, bit of gardening, the usual stuff. When he wakes up one morning to find a perfect six inch hole in his lawn. After further investigation he discovers that his cellar...
