They Feed
The night uncovers all we wish not to see.
A troubled man enters a dusky park before sunset. A young woman follows, hidden in shadow. Both have returned to the park to take back something the past has stolen from them, to make right six long years of suffering, and to find justice or perhaps redemption—or maybe they'll settle for some old-fashioned revenge.
But something evil is alive and awake in those woods, creatures that care nothing for human motivations. They’re driven by their own insatiable need: a ravenous, bottomless hunger.
The campgrounds are full tonight, and the creatures are starving. Before the night is over, they will feed.
An unrelenting tale of terror from Jason Parent.

About the author
Jason Parent
50 books690 followersIn his head, Jason Parent lives in many places, but in the real world, he calls New England his home. The region offers an abundance of settings for his writing and many wonderful places in which to write them. He currently resides in Southeastern Massachusetts with his cuddly corgi named Calypso.
In a prior life, Jason spent most of his time in front of a judge . . . as a civil litigator. When he finally tired of Latin phrases no one knew how to pronounce and explaining to people that real lawsuits are not started, tried and finalized within the 60-minute timeframe they see on TV (it's harassing the witness; no one throws vicious woodland creatures at them), he traded in his cheap suits for flip flops and designer stubble. The flops got repossessed the next day, and he's back in the legal field . . . sorta. But that's another story.
When he's not working, Jason likes to kayak, catch a movie, travel any place that will let him enter, and play just about any sport (except that ball tied to the pole thing where you basically just whack the ball until it twists into a knot or takes somebody's head off - he misses the appeal). And read and write, of course. He does that too sometimes.

You know, I'm just unclear about why people insist on camping and enjoying "the great" outdoors. If they read the kind of books I read, they wouldn't do that. THEY FEED is one of those books.
I'm going to keep this short because there are plenty of reviews already out there. If terrible people getting chased and eaten by creatures that resemble moving pieces of poo sounds like your idea of fun, this book is for you! And I'm not talking fun or humorous pieces of poo, like Mr. Hankey here:
I'm talking fast moving pieces of poo with teeth. Pieces that talk to each other, commune, if you will, to gang up on their victims.
There are some interesting characters here, none of whom comes of the woods in the same condition in which they went in. Which brings me full circle, back to the woods. Just don't go in there! Don't do it!
Highly recommended for horror fans, most especially fans of creature features! Hidey Ho!

Ferocious Crawlies!
Small backstory:
Tyler Kendrick just got out of prison after being in there for six years for shooting a man in Galveston Park, which he considers an accident. He decides that he will return to the scene of the crime as he wants to get everything clear in his head of what happened that tragic day.
What Tyler doesn't know is that something stirs in the woods of Galveston Park that has been there for a long time. Something hungry, something that can best be described as black and oily critters that have the speed of a cheetah and razor sharp teeth. They love darkness as darkness is their friend and there are millions of these piranha type critters throughout the woods. Not only that but there are other people out in the woods camping and hiking which also come across the oily creatures. What starts out as a romp through the woods, turns into a fight for survival for everyone!
That is about all I can give on a small backstory so if you want to know more then go read this book!
Thoughts:
This was a fun read and not really spooky but just full of "creatures" out in the woods. The story moved at a fast pace with tons of tension and suspense!
After reading it I decided that camping would not be something I would want to do as it makes you think about "what" is really living out in the woods at night! The creatures in this book only loves the "nightlife" and there is lots of edge of the seat moments throughout the book!
The book's title is definitely the main theme in this book as the creatures do have a ferocious appetite! With that being said, if you wanted to go camping I would suggest not camping out in a tent - a steel bunker would be better as at least you would be protected from what crawls around at night! Giving this book four "Creepy Critters" stars!

This monster romp was populated with mostly despicable people whose gruesome deaths were so much fun to witness. We all need a little of this sort of thing in our lives right about now, am I right?
Deep in the woods lurks a nightmare that doles out death to those foolish enough to venture into the woods looking for some rapey, murdery, torture-filled times and to a few innocents as well (but no worries, you won’t be crying about any of these deaths).
Tyler, newly released from a long stint in prison, revisits the woods that landed him in jail to try to make sense of his past but unbeknownst to him, he is being tailed by someone with revenge in their little black bitter heart. Also headed into these woods are a couple who really should NOT be together but their psychologist thought it would be good for them to spend some time in the outdoors (I think these people must share the same doctor of bad advice as the man in The Bird Eater). And then there’s the group of toxically stupid frat boys doing what they do.
“Things lived in the woods. Things with sharp teeth.”
Oh yesssss, come on in vile people! Come on in and get eaten! The sooner the better for me.
The fun starts up soon enough and doesn’t really let go until the last page is turned. It’s gory and nasty and gleefully fun if you’re in the mood for a creature feature starring shit pancakes and tiny tentacled beasties.

(3.5) Thank you to Erin Sweet Al-Mehairi and SinisterGrin Press for sending the Night Worms this book in exchange for an honest review.
It's a good thing I hate camping. Jason Parent's monster infested woods are no place I'd want to be!
They Feed is a gorefest. It also reads like watching a B rated horror flick like the Blob or a fun Creature Feature like Tremors. The characters are all pretty despicable people with some campy lines but they made me laugh. Some of the dialog made my eyes roll though, it felt a little juvenile.
I especially liked the scene with the husband and wife out on a hike--the wife clearly didn't want to be there in the hot sun, making this useless trek up a rocky trail and her inner mind chat was cracking me up.
Parent has this unflinching, tells-it-like-it-is style of narrating that just grabs you by the shirt and sucks you into the story, maybe even before you decide if you want to. Ha!
A friend mentioned in a review I just read, that this reminded him of an X-Files episode and I would agree--these creatures are calculating and smart even though based on appearances, it would be easy to underestimate their ability.
It was fun watching a group of people, who would make unlikely friends given their circumstances, forced to come together and survive.
Not normally my typical, go-to favorite sub-genre of horror but this was entertaining and I enjoyed it.

THEY FEED, by Jason Parent, is a “fun-filled”, fast-paced creature-feature that reminded me of a large roller coaster–one moving steadily up, until that final plummet which brings your heart leaping into your throat, at the very end.
Tyler Kendrick has just been released from a jail sentence, the result of a dubious conviction from an incident that occurred in Galveston State Park. Despite the amount of evidence that conflicted with the accusations leveled at Tyler, the town needed a scapegoat and quickly had him sentenced.
“. . . The people who’d called for his head, all self-righteous and God-fearing, . . . The difference between Tyler and them was that Tyler knew exactly how little he was worth.”
Unable to get over what he’d been through–before, during, and after, prison–Tyler was still drawn back magnetically to that same park.
“. . . the things he’d seen, the things he’d done . . . They’d definitely turned the chip on his shoulder into a whole bag of Doritos.”
In a creature-feature, there are several key things that I look for. The first being an unrelenting sense of action. The plot should inexorably move forward at a decent pace–preferably with carnage and gore along the way. The next, an atmosphere conductive to the type of creature being presented. In this case, we have a wooded town park with plenty of campers, trails, and woods to conceal those that wish to be hidden.
“What was outside wanted in.”
You also need characters whose plight will feel authentic to you. Whether you’re meant to like or despise them, you want to feel that “connection” with each individual throughout the course of the novel.
“. . . Maybe the prospect of being eaten alive had cured him of his suicidal tendencies . . . "
Finally, I like to read about a “unique” creature, or at least one with unusual physical traits and/or abilities.
Much to my delight, in THEY FEED, Parent easily met all of the above mentioned elements.
When Tyler returns, he’s not the only one in the woods that day. Each character we meet has their own agenda, yet the “monsters” that come out aren’t exactly discriminating about their meals.
“Does anyone else feel like that thing is watching us?”
The characters here are quite the mismatched group. Though some are connected in the most tenuous of ways, they are now forced together by a common enemy–something none of them can understand.
“. . . monsters were the creations of books and movies. In the real world, men were the only monsters.”
When you have all of these features combined in one story–along with a twisted kind of creature that excels at causing gruesome, painful deaths–you have the makings of a memorable horror novel. This one may just make you think twice about camping in the woods again . . .
“. . . There’s something rotten about it . . . It gets worse every year, like whatever’s polluting it keeps spreading . . . "
Highly recommended!

"The deer convulsed. Charlie stood. He took two steps back. He didn't know what was happening, but he no longer thought the deer was pregnant. At the least, it wasn't carrying anything natural. As its stomach ripped open from the inside, Charlie had the most peculiar
thought.
Babies don't usually eat their way out of their mothers'stomachs.
The X-Files season 1 episode 20 Darkness Falls (1994) meets The Night of the Creeps (1986) and Slither (2006) in a funny B-movie creature-feature gore-fest with pinches of splatterpunk, rape and revenge, torture porn and an unexpected and deliciously wicked final twist.
Totally enjoyed this action-packed no-stop gut-wrenching read, and spending most of this summer in countryside woods just made me fully enjoy the ride.
"I remember the events of that day perhaps as well as the two of you. Three people went missing. Only your brother came out of those
woods. The day he died was the first of many I spent searching for his
friends. They were never found, not by me, not by no one. In all likelihood, they're still in these woods, dead and buried... or digested."
My first novel from Jason Parent is decisely not going to be last.

While I enjoy and appreciate the outdoors, I am not what one might consider an outdoor enthusiast. I've been camping exactly once. Well, technically twice if you count the first attempt that was aborted about an hour into arriving at the camp site in favor of getting a hotel room instead. I enjoy air conditioning, clean bathrooms, and showers that are neither filthy nor coin operated far too much to ever consider roughing it again for an extended period of time. And while my single experience with camping wasn't exactly as bad as I had imagined (we didn't get eaten by bears or slaughtered by a Predator), it's not something I'm in a hurry to ever do again. Books like Edward Lorn's Fairy Lights and Jason Parent's They Feed only serve to reinforce my non-camping attitude and help justify why I think this whole mode of vacationing really isn't much of a vacation at all.
Fresh out of prison after six years, Tyler returns to the Kansas campground that turned his life upside down and inside out. When he was sixteen, Tyler accidentally shot and killed another boy. Now out of lock-up, Tyler can't help but return to the murder site. Following him is the dead boy's sister, Dakota, who has reasons of her own for being in the park...reasons that get interrupted by a pair of campers who come under attack by a swarm of mysterious, bloodthirsty creatures. Trapped in a cabin and surrounded, Tyler and Dakota, and a handful of other visitors, must endure the invading monstrosities and survive the night.
They Feed is a pretty straightforward creature feature that blends together a few familiar horror tropes. You've got the cabin in the woods, a siege invasion, a cast of human characters with few reasons to trust one another, and a whole heaping mess of monsters. It feels a bit like a slasher flick crossbred with The Blob, or the season one episode of The X-Files, "Darkness Falls." All this works together to make a pretty damn good read.
Parent's creatures are an interesting creation, a leech-like horror that packs plenty of terror in its singular form, but that can also work together and coordinate its attacks. They're viciously violent, and Parent gives us a number of grotesque scenes that work wonderfully well to illustrate just how screwed all these campers, hikers, and visitors are.
Thankfully, They Feed also has a good number of interesting characters to keep us invested. One couple finds themselves lost in the woods, in addition to living in the midst of a perpetual marital spat, and a group of frat boys help create a few unexpected alliances between survivors, particularly Dakota and Tyler. United by death, Dakota and Tyler are certainly the most intriguing pair of characters here, and their relationship yo-yos through a number of ups and downs as they attempt to live through the night.
The creatures in They Feed sure are hungry, and you don't want to accidentally find yourself on the menu. Action-packed and delightfully gory, Jason Parent delivers a solid reminder to stay out of the woods.

It’s raining shit pancakes in Galveston State Park.
Which would be bad enough by itself, but these pancakes have teeth.
And they are hungry.
Ok…ok. They are not pancakes. Nor are they shit. The teeth thing…well, I wasn’t kidding about that part.
“That ain’t no turd, son. That thing’s moving.”
Abigail lost her KY, date rape in Dakota, Hostel interrupted, freshman hazing, and an army of nasty mud-skipping motherfuckers running amok.
Jason Parent churns out a very good creature feature with “They Feed”. And they do…
A quick, entertaining and bloody ride from an author I have come to enjoy very much. Mr. Parent does it right.

You'll never catch me hiking again! They Feed is a horror lover's nightmare' come true. This is a creature feature delight that hits all the right marks. Creepy when it needs to be, funny and twisted and gory as hell. It doesn't get much better than this.

There are mysterious murderous critters round the lake area. After six years in prison Tyler returns to the location. Dakota, the sister of the young man he shot, tries to get revenge on him Then a couple of other youths, a ranger, a parole officer and an almost estranged couple show up. Sometimes great, sometimes a bit tedious, the story unwinds and comes up with a surprising twist at the end. Can someone escape the teeth and talons of the monsters? There are fine references to The Eagles (they stab it with their steely knives) and Metallica. If you like creepy monsters you might risk a look. Personally I preferred Slugs by Shaun Hutson as a comparable novel. Creepiest passages were the parts when the monsters overtook the human body. The cover is awesome and tells a story on its own.

I loved the old school horror movie feel and never knowing who would survive. Jason did a great job creating a terrifing creature that made my stomach turn. Full review can be read here ---> https://wp.me/p5t5Tf-1uI

Fast and furious creature-feature from one of the best in the field.
September 6, 2018
Every so often it’s just time for something disgustingly entertaining. And this was perfect for that sort of thing, a B movie literary equivalent extravaganza where there is indeed a lot of feeding going on. Creature features are usually fun, especially with creatures affectionately described as sh*t pancakes. Slimy oversized menace that ought to make you rethinking a camping trip. Then again, even without reading this book, camping trips should be rethought until abandoned altogether. What a terrible idea…denying all the modern conveniences civilization took centuries to come up with for the dubious pleasure of sh*tting in the woods. Right, anyway, back to the book…I’ve read the author before and had a pretty good idea of what to expect, Parent has a certain level of quality (which is somewhat above average for the genre) and he maintains it like a pro. I appreciate that. Nice to know what you’re getting. But apparently this isn’t a universal opinion, since his bio (kinda…let’s kindly say audaciously) suggests some A list author comparisons. Really? I’m surprised. I read a fair amount of scary books and would like to think myself able to discern between literary and just cheesy gorefest fun and at no known instance has found Parent to be leaning toward the former. The guy seems comfortably B, but apparently there are aspirations. Something about those comparisons was just like…when someone’s friend or family sees their crappy low budget play and compares it to Broadway production. Like it’s nice, but just really really inaccurate. Anyway, comparisons aside, this was a fun ride. Well written (for what it was, not Man Booker), entertaining and had an enjoyable twist in the end, which elevated the story. Pretty much checked all the boxes for a good creature feature. So stay out of the woods and may your pancakes be of a regular variety exclusively. Thanks Netgalley.

All Hell is about to break loose in Galveston State Park tonight, as a wrongly accused man, a woman bent on bloody revenge, and a bunch of frat boys out looking for trouble discover they aren't alone in the dark.
For there are things out there.
Things that shouldn't exist.
Things that defy description.
Jason Parent has written a masterful creature feature that keeps the tension high, the gore flowing, and offers up a unique pack of "What the Hell is that?!?" monstrosities that will keep you out of the woods on a permanent basis.
Highly recommended.

This book was sent to the Night Rooms review group in exchange for an honest review.
This book was a fun surprise. Other than people telling me it would make me want to avoid camping for the rest of my life, I had no idea what it was about. Once I discovered it's actually a creature feature with quite a twist, I was immediately drawn in. I'll probably not turn down any future camping trips, but I'm definitely going to look at the experience in a different way now. And I'll probably stick to the light of the campfire and avoid heading out into the darkness alone.
I love stories where a bunch of stranger are thrown into a life and death scenario and have to work together to survive. It's interesting which characters I ended up rooting for. Parent has written characters that are a little more complex than they initially seem. Most of them are absolutely awful, even by the end of the story, but even then, watching them battle the creatures that attack and feed once the sun goes down made for a gruesome and entertaining read. And the ending took me completely by surprise.
This is a story about abuse (triggers for rape) and revenge, and just to make it even creepier Parent introduces a unique creature that will stop at nothing to feed. Stay out of the woods at night. That's when they hunt.

I'll probably not turn down any future camping trips, but I'm definitely going to look at the experience in a different way now. And I'll probably stick to the light of the campfire and avoid heading out into the darkness alone.
I love stories where a bunch of stranger are thrown into a life and death scenario and have to work together to survive. It's interesting which characters I ended up rooting for. Parent has written characters that are a little more complex than they initially seem. Most of them are absolutely awful, even by the end of the story, but even then, watching them battle the creatures that attack and feed once the sun goes down made for a gruesome and entertaining read. And the ending took me completely by surprise.
This is a story about abuse (triggers for rape) and revenge, and just to make it even creepier Parent introduces a unique creature that will stop at nothing to feed. Stay out of the woods at night. That's when they hunt.

They Feed, by Jason Parent, is one of those wham bam thank you ma'am no holds barred horror novels.
No one is safe and nothing is sacred here. In just the first few pages, the reader realizes that they're in for a gruesome and pulse-pounding ride...and I promise you, it doesn't let up!
I was happy, however, that it wasn't just about the screams and the chompy, chompy bloody bits! Parent has a deft hand with characterization. At times, this hurt since I just knew that some characters I loved likely wouldn't survive the carnage.
My first read by the author, but definitely not my last!

"He had never been afraid of ugly things."
Based on the synopsis, it seems like They Feed was going to be right up my alley. I had been looking forward to this one for a while, and I was happy to finally get my hands on it.
I ended up struggling through this one. I think that it had a really promising set-up - creepy creatures in the woods ruining people's lives sounds great. However, I didn't end up enjoying much outside of the main plot.
The language, descriptions, and metaphors are a bit odd in this book at times. There's a lot of telling instead of showing, and I never really felt creeped out by the creatures. There were multiple descriptions of the creatures that were at odds with one another (I'm not going to share anything else to avoid spoilers). I was never really able to picture exactly what they were since they were described in multiple different ways. There are also some sexual descriptions of things that just felt juvenile. A lot of these things were distracting & removed my focus from the actual story.
There were a lot of characters in this book, and none of them were really likeable. This is fine, but I needed something else to draw me into the rest of the book. None of them really stood out from the others.
There's more mention of rape in this book than I expected. It wasn't necessarily graphic, but it felt unnecessary at times. I don't think it really added anything to the characters or story & was just their for shock.
There was one reveal that surprised me, but it wasn't enough to hold my attention. I ended up skimming most of the second half of the book. Everything wraps up pretty well, and I'm happy that this was a complete story.
Thank you so much to Erin Sweet Al-Mehairi & Sinister Grin Press for sending They Feed to the Nightworms in exchange for an honest review.

Review copy
"Better not to think of it. Better to just run."
There was much more to the story of Tyler's incarceration for the shooting death of a former High School classmate, but the truth of the matter was he spent six years in Wichita State Penitentiary.
"Prison had not been easy for a fair, slender boy of sixteen, easy prey thrown into a den full of predators. Yeah, the things he had seen, the things he had done, might have made him tougher. They'd definitely turned the chip on his shoulder into a whole bag of Doritos."
When Tyler returned to the scene of the crime, all hell breaks loose. As if it wasn't bad enough he was breaking parole by "borrowing" a car to get to Galveston State Park where he accidentally had shot Stevie Coogan wasn't bad enough, someone had followed him there and they had plans to exact their revenge. But wait, there's more.
I could get into the diverse group of characters trapped in a shack while creatures make every effort to get at them, but I won't. Will any of them survive till morning? To say any more would take too much fun from the reader's experience in this wonderfully original creature thriller.
Jason Parent is one of the best new voices working in horror today and this is one of his finest.
They Feed is available now in both paperback and e-book from Sinister Grin Press.
From the author's bio - In his head, Jason Parent lives in many places, but in the real world, he calls Southeastern Massachusetts his home. The region offers an abundance of settings for his writing and many wonderful places in which to write them. He currently resides with his cuddly corgi, Calypso. When he’s not working, Jason likes to kayak, catch a movie, travel any place that will let him enter, and play just about any sport (except for the one with that ball tied to the pole thing where you basically just whack the ball until it twists in on knot or takes somebody’s head off). And read and write, of course. He does that too sometimes.

This fast-paced thrilling creature horror works brilliantly. The sub-plots of revenge, remorse and unsatisfied vendetta keep you guessing, until the whole meshes together to deliver a thoroughly entertaining and satisfying chiller. The author's creatures are vividly portrayed, capable of morphing, hellbent on feeding, but there is more depth to them than that there is intelligence there, but where have these things emanated from? As the plot unfolds and we learn more of Tyler's past, many questions find answers. I certainly wouldn't want to go hiking or camping in that wood and I recommend you don't either. But do enjoy 'They Feed' - just be glad it's not you! This story works on so many levels, it should appeal to horror fans, irrespective of their preferred sub-genre.

THEY FEED, my latest read from Jason Parent that pays homage to the fun, popcorn-munching, creature features of the 80s, seemed like it would be right up my alley.
Tyler, an awkward teenager with a broken home life, is out in the woods hunting when he accidentally shoots Stevie, a former classmate, that wanders into his line of fire as he’s trying to take down a deer. Stevie’s body suffers from a plethora of strange wounds outside of the single shot from Tyler’s rifle. After Stevie dies, these other wounds seal Tyler’s fate with the authorities and he spends the next six years in prison. Upon his release, the woods draw Tyler back to where the accident occurred, and that’s when all hell breaks loose.
Parent is a wonderful and talented author. WHERE WOLVES RUN, WHAT HIDES WITHIN, and the short story collection, WRATHBONE, are some of my favorites of his. But even a finely tuned dragster can struggle on any given day. The first one-third of the book struggles to find its footing. Awkward sentence structure, plot holes, and the overall delivery slips and slides, affecting the flow of the story. The middle part of THEY FEED is where Parent gains traction and kicks it into high gear. Here we that wonderful homage to movies such as The Thing, The Blob, and Night of the Creeps. The twist ending doesn’t really work for me. It felt more rushed and convenient than shocking.
All in all, THEY FEED had some fun moments. But I think the lack of editing held this story back. The beginning needed more heavy lifting and a reworking of the ending would’ve transformed THEY FEED from a good story with promise to a great one.

I’m a pushover for books like this. Give me a bunch of people wandering around in a park in the dark with something hunting them and I’m a happy camper. Jason doesn’t let me down.
As each group encounters something in the night, it’s a mad dash to find safety. They all wind up in the same place, a falling down shack in the middle of the park. What’s outside wants in. But those inside want out. Most of them aren’t nice people and they all have a reason to want to harm each other. The group dynamics are a big part of the story and I eat that stuff up.
As for the things outside, the author dreamed up some nasty ones for ya. They’re relentless when the attack begins. There’s lots of running and screaming, and one by one, the character’s fall like dominoes. Don’t worry. You won’t mind when some of them bite the dust. The weren’t very likable anyway.
And Jason added some twisted surprises that caught me off guard and sure did contribute to the suspense.
If you like creature feature horror, you might want to give this one a go. It reads fast and definitely keeps you entertained. The title lives up to it’s name.
I received a complimentary copy. My review is voluntarily given.

Review: THEY FEED by Jason Parent
Looking for a horror novel with a speed-of-light pace that will take your breath away with terror and suspense? Jason Parent's newest, THEY FEED, delivers in immense spades. "They feed," all right--and guess the favourite dish on their menu?
Horror does not get much more implacable than the creature species Mr. Parent chooses to terrify even the most mind-hardened, iron-stomached, jaded reader.
This novel is set in Kansas, at a State Park, in a beautiful scenic locale...well. That normal, peaceful, background only intensifies the terror, because from these woods and that lake, there is no escape. The terror is implacable. Can't run, can't hide, can't escape, can't survive. They Feed. And Feed. And Feed.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yesssssssss.
They Feed is exactly the kind of book I want to read. It's books like this that make me incredibly stoked to run this blog. I can't really see any reason why this won't make my best of 2018 list.
I've read Jason Parent before, just a few months ago, with the Bloodshot Books re-release of his debut, What Hides Within. That novel showed promise and They Feed, while an entirely different book, delivers on that promise.
This is a balls-to-the-wall, fat free, straight up, creature feature that cuts to the chase immediately and never once looks back.
Exactly the books I needed, at exactly the right time. No huge literary twists, no flowery prose, no try-hard bullshit. Lean, mean, gory, creature filled fun with all the right fixings.
I loved it. And I'm confident just about anyone, who's expecting (and enjoys) this type of thrill ride experience, will love it too. Slow burn types, need not apply.
It's clear that Parent is an author who has cinematic influence, as that is what permeates his writing, and the result is a perfectly presented love letter to films like Night of the Creeps, Evil Dead, and the best segment of Creepshow 2, The Raft.
The plot is easily engaging, simple to follow, but zesty enough to keep the reader on their toes. Tyler has spent six years in prison for manslaughter on account of a hunting accident at a Kansas State Park. But Tyler and, soon, a slew of others, find out, first hand, he's not the killer. Something else is...and they feed. On human flesh of course.
Throw in a strong, vengeful heroine, a bunch of people who you can't wait to see bite it and just enough atmosphere to keep it interesting...you've got a winning mix.
I can't possibly endorse a book more. They Feed is out now from Sinister Grin Press and you need to buy a copy. Do so here. Now. Now. Now.
A definite 5/5.

******** AUDIOBOOK REVIEW ********
I always enjoy a good monster audiobook. Jason Parent gives us a good solid storyline. There's tons of action, gore, a bit of mystery, and crazy monsters that'll delight all you horror lovers like myself! I was pleasantly surprised with the depth of the story. I feel like the author tried hard to give a story that had really structure... a who, what, when, where, how, and why. I appreciated that!
I'm sure it's no surprise by now that I enjoy a good Joe Hempel narration. Honestly, it's the original reason I purchased this audiobook. He always give great strength to the characters he becomes. I really enjoyed the way They Feed was written and Mr. Hempel's narration. I felt like instead of becoming the characters and/or playing a part that Jow read me a story. It's exactly how I'd want this story to go!

This book presented some especially nasty kind of creature that made my skin crawl every time they (strength in numbers!) appeared. But that was only part of it: the story is mainly character-driven, and most of the people in here have some serious issues to deal with. Put together, the author wove a brilliant creature drama. Oh, and the ending was a really clever surprise that really put the icing on the cake. In short: I loooved it!
(Thanks to Netgalley, the author, and the publisher for a copy of the book, all opinions are my own)

Jason Parent books are almost always a good time. This one was fun. A few likable characters, plot twists, and bad guys who I was soooo happy to see them get eaten in deliciously horrible ways! "By sh*t pancakes!" Ah, good times! While the storyline didn't scare me so much as to make me stay out of the woods, I did have quite a few tense moments. I do have an urge now to grab my pole and tackle box and go fishing! My thanks to Netgalley for the arc. This is one creature feature that I'd recommend.

The Great Outdoors.....camping, hiking, fishing and all the other outdoorsy things that people do. Me,,not so much. As a youth I loved camping, but as I aged my body decided it didn't like sleeping on the ground or having to start a fire to warm your body up and make some tea.
Well...about 2 chapters into THEY FEED by Jason Parent, I have decided to to never even think about going camping at the State Park ever again.
Jason Parent has given us a truly gruesome tale of tragedy, revenge and monsters that plays out like a extended episode of The Outer Limits. This story would also make a great evolution/continuation of the classic story The Raft from Creepshow 2.
Tyler has just been released from serving a six year sentence for a murder that was committed while hunting at the State Park. But Tyler knows there is more to the story and heads back to the park for answers. Little does he know that he has been followed by someone with their own agenda. As the evening progresses, Tyler will find himself fighting for his life with a small group of others. Can the rickety shack they have all found themselves in protect them from the monsters that are hunting them?
This is a great creature story from start to finish with a cool horror movie vibe. If you are a reader like me, you picture the story playing out in your head as you read. I could see the black leach-like monsters that Jason has created, as they roll and leap after their victims. Hear the screams of the doomed and feel the adrenaline of those trying to escape. The characters that populate the story are well developed and I found myself rooting for them. (Well, except for 3 of them your will have to encounter for yourself). And the ending twist caught me totally of guard.
It takes an truly accomplished author to really transport someone into their story, and Jason Parent has done that wonderfully with THEY FEED.
