This book is even better;tighter written,and even better told.

New Five Star Review for STORMWRECK

I received this rather remarkable review whilst away. It's rather more erudite than I would suggest the book is!

"5.0 out of 5 stars Spooktastic!, 22 Dec 2011

ByJenny Shaw

The essence of horror is lack of control. True horror shows us that our safe, secure little world over which we have power and in which events are predictable - or at least logical - is nothing but a comforting fairy-tale. It harks back to some long-forgotten race memory in which life could be snuffed out in an instant in a world that did not always make sense.

So what better setting for a horror story than an isolated community in the teeth of a massive and potentially deadly story. Throw in a long forgotten secret, give early indications that Supernatural is Permitted and, for good measure, cut the cast of characters off from the rest of civilisation.

It's an excellent set-up and in Darren Humphries' masterly hands becomes a highly compelling and satisfying read. As a narrator he is authoritative but never obtrusive, his characters are rounded and sympathetic and the whole thing trips along with an ease that will have you reading all night."


Wow, who'd have thought I'd ever get the phrase 'masterly hands' used in a review of my work? Not me that's for sure.

The Man From U.N.D.E.A.D. - Zombie Apocalypse Now on Kindle

The Man From U.N.D.E.A.D.- Zombie Apocalypse Now (UK link, US users link here), the second book in the Man From U.N.D.E.A.D. series  (and my first sequel, though it's more of a standalone book) has come out for the kindle on Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com. It already has a review:

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny and clever, January 21, 2012

By Ignite (East Yorkshire, UK) - As a self confessed non-zombie fan, I wonder why I am reading, let alone reviewing, this book. It's because it's the second in the U.N.D.E.A.D series and because it's written by Darren Humphries.

In the first in this series we are introduced to the hero, Agent Ward. He is a clever, daring and very likable character and any book starring him will have me reading it.

We find ourselves in a world infested at regular intervals by aliens, supernatural beings, mythological creatures and magic, from which the public are protected by the Agents from U.N.D.E.A.D. Here we continue to follow Ward as he takes his new and surprising sidekick on a chase across the globe to find out who is re-animating corpses and why.

As always, the author uses clever word-play and very funny descriptions that light up the often ludicrous situations in which our hero finds himself. I love Darren Humphries' style of writing and I'm so pleased that there are to be more in this series, especially in view of the new working partnership we discover at the end of this book.

Five Star Review For Stormwreck

Just received another five star review for STORMWRECK on amazon.co.uk

It really is an amazing one and  I am very grateful to the reviewer.

"This book is one of the best I have read this year. It is the sort of book that builds page after page & very quickly you not only feel you know the characters but you are transported to Cornwall with it's beautiful coastline.
The book is a tale of the Supernatural but does not go beyond the bounds of reality, it is quite a long read but unlike many novels of this length it does not loose it's way half way through & you find that your heart is in your mouth for most of the story. I do hope that Mr Humphries will be writing more novels in this genre as he is so talented & it would be a gerat shame if he didn't treat us to another wonderfully dark tale in the future.
I can't praise Stormwreck enough, if you haven't read it yet then do so, it would be such a shame not to read such a wonderfully written story that will keep you happy for hours & leave you wanting more from this talented author."

Five star review for THE GREAT ROCK N ROLL DOOMSDAY TOUR

Just got a five star review on Amazon for The Great Rock N Roll Doomsday Tour. Considering that this has bee available free on Smashwords for a while now, I am disappointed by the number of reviews that have been left. This one makes up for that, however.

 

 

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant humour, 12 Dec 2011

This review is from: The Great Rock N Roll Doomsday Tour (Kindle Edition)

Darren Humphries has recently become my favourite author of humorous stories. Again, he has produced another rollicking good funny story. The opening chapter sets the tone. Hilarious! Read the sample and you'll see what I mean. You'll want the rest of the book as the laughs don't stop.

Five Star Review for the first MAN FROM U.N.D.E.A.D. book

The Man From U.N.D.E.A.D. - The Curious Case of the Kidnapped Chemist  received the following five star review from Ignite, so thanks for posting.

"This is an action packed adventure in a world which is shot through with magic, alien creatures and mythological beings from which we are protected by an agency - U.N.D.E.A.D. The story is narrated by Ward, a likeable and self-deprecating agent and the plot is full of twists and turns. It's an exciting and fast moving story and full of humour. It's not the belly laugh, slapstick type but is clever and subtle, using word-play and wonderful, memorable phrases, the sort of humour I much prefer. I am relatively new to Darren Humphries' work and he grows on me with each book. I was delighted to find, at the end of this, that there's a sequel. I now understand there is a whole series planned - Bring it on! "

Four Star Review for To Infinity (and maybe that's far enough)

The latest review for my comic space opera is short but sweet, so thanks to Walrus for posting it.

"A rollicking good space yarn. Well told and written(apart from a few errors),this is a fun,action-packed,pacey story,which I enjoyed immensely."

This was re-upped with what I believed all the errors to have been removed. Will have to have another look, but at least it's not spoiling people's enjoyment.
