Greener Shade of Pale
I don't normally write reviews here - well, this would be the first - but I recently came across Shades of Green by Ian Woodhead. Here's the review as posted on Amazon:
You know how some early Hitchcock meanders around for a while, and you know it's supposed to be scary but you really just don't know what's going on? Then the plot turns a corner and you're there, terrified. That's what shades of Green is like - only in this case, it doesn't turn a corner so much as get swamped by the homicidal shrubbery. Oh, and there is a one-legged pigeon. Gotta love mutant wildlife.
I don't normally read horror, but I enjoyed Shades of Green...inasmuch as one can enjoy a psychologically maddening, convoluted and at times thoroughly disgusting read. Mind you, those terms are all compliments. I'll certainly seek out the author's next work.
Should it pique your interest, here's the Kindle link:

And I do like the cover:
