The Ritual by Mark Barry - Amazon Review
An Outstanding, Brilliant Masterpiece Of Horror!, March 23, 2013 By Macknight "Macknight"
This review is from: The Ritual (Paperback) I have read many books in all genres. However Mark has a way of getting into Psyche of every character, bringing them to life, like only a handful of writers can do. This book has many twist and turns and it will keep you guessing until the last word. The way it is put together is incredible.An Engaging thriller, horror masterpiece. This is real writing from a brilliant writer. I have to say it was the best book of its kind I have read in long time. If there were a 10 star spot this book would receive them all. Do not read this at bedtime, just a warning.You won't get much sleep. So Welcome to Wheatley Fields, there is no turning back. You will not be disappointed, I promise.

Mark Barry, author of "The Ritual", "Kid Atomic", "The Illustrated Woman", "Hollywood Shakedown", "Ultra Violence" and "Carla", is a writer who writes across genre.
Book Reviews:The Ritual: From Amazon US. "Incredible! Step aside Anne Rice, Mark Barry describes places and events like you only wish you could. A nail biter, on the edge of your seat, page turner if I've ever read one. I am usually pretty good at figuring out who, what, when and where, but I was surprised time and time again. Incredibly erotic! Gruesome! Perverted, twisted and sick! Exactly as it should be! It makes no sense that this is not on the best seller list! Not a slow point in it anywhere.
Carla: Amazon US. "Carla is a compelling, modern-day love story which is packed full of dark humour, believable eccentricity and heartrending twists and turns. Set in a familiar English landscape, I found Carla moving, affecting and impossible to put down until the very end."
Hollywood Shakedown: Amazon US. "Hollywood Shakedown was a phenomenal read; compelling, wonderful, outstanding! Fast-paced with carefully crafted characters. Thriller, a bit of sex/romance and a massive amount of intrigue weaved into a well thought out plot. The ending is unforgettable and suits the story very well. Mark Barry has created a novel that few writers could only dream of authoring. The only downside, the story came to an end. A must read for all adults"

History Trivia - Handel's Messiah performed for the first time in London
March 23
752 Stephen's two-day pontificate began. Elected to succeed Zachary, Stephen II died before his consecration; earlier writers do not appear to have included him in the list of the popes; but, in accordance with the long standing practice of the Roman Church, he is now generally counted among them. This divergent practice has introduced confusion into the way of counting the Popes Stephen.
1066 18th recorded perihelion passage of Halley's Comet.
1657 France and England formed an alliance against Spain.
1743 Handel's Messiah was performed for the first time in London.
