From authors Shaun Hutson and Matt Shaw comes a new horror set in the time of the Corona Virus.

The world has gone to Hell. A virus has seemingly come from no where, bringing with it a number of conspiracy theories as to its origin. Some of the theories are outlandish whilst some have an eerie ring of possible truth around them. But, as the world goes into lock down with people living in isolation only allowed out of their homes for essential journeys, people soon realise there are greater things to worry about than COVID-19.

As the virus continues to get a grip of the world, mankind reveals the many monsters within.

COVID 19 Reveals The Monsters

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

THE TAINTED SOULS by Shaun Hutson and Matt Shaw is a dark collaboration filled with graphic violence, mainly taking place in the UK. If you have a weak stomach, don't bother reading this story. While I'm quick to call out authors who use rape and murder purely for shock value, in this case, it's a necessary evil to emphasize the sickness spreading throughout the population. Covid 19 is simply the catalyst to something much worse.

I'll admit, I'm not familiar with Hutson's work, but this novella is typical of Shaw's disturbing writing style. (If you want to curl up with a good book for comfort during your quarantine, you don't curl up with Shaw...especially not sober.) The variety of characters increases the suspense, not knowing how any of them will react to one another. Even within the separate groups, the dynamics are constantly changing, with everyone focused on their own individual survival.

All in all, this is one hell of a thriller, and I'm equally impressed with how quickly the authors put it together. I was hoping the house Adam came across would be the one from Octopus/Full Moon, or Tessa would have a backstory tied into one of Shaw's older stories, but I'm still satisfied with the novella as is. The ending is more frightening than anything else which takes place.

To close to home.

The book was very well written and moved fast. It took a few hours and you’re done. I can’t say I enjoyed it because it was so close to what’s going on today ,with just more of the blood and guts.

I can't speak highly enough about this author. He has yet to write a book that I haven't loved! This one was no exception, and it had the added bonus of being set in the very scary world that we're all living in right now. As usual, very well written, and it was so easy to get drawn into the story. But keep in mind, Matt Shaw is not for the easily offended, so if amazingly graphic tales about violence aren't your thing...well, read one of his books, anyway. He's so good, you might reevaluate what you like! Don't knock it until you try it!

Great corona horror! Read this novella!

First, I've never ever left a review. Ever. But this was a great, fun, and quick read. In these trying times, I don't think anyone can go wrong picking this up for a quick afternoon read.
Facts you should know: Covid is more of a backdrop to the story, as in there are no Covid deaths in this novella!!
It is fairly tame for a Matt Shaw book, so may be appreciated by a wider audience

What Happened Here?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 6, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book has to be the worst from Shaw which is so frustrating because I've read about 10 and this one was horrible. Very little gore and too much present day nostalgia. I hope this was just an experiment and not Shaw 's new approach to writing. I forgive you Matt but please don't do this ever again.

I really enjoyed this book! It's creepy because these events could actually happen. I loved the characters and all of them got what they deserve. If you are looking for a creepy quick read this book is for you!

I knew it had to be done and I'm glad it was Matt Shaw. This current global pandemic is destroying everyone's livelihoods. People like Tessa and Adam is just trying to survive.

Gory and relevant collaboration

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 21, 2020

Verified Purchase

I’m a long term fan of Shaun and fairly new to Matt so just had to read this knowing it was going to be pretty gruesome and sick and I wasn’t disappointed. Very well written and as much as I tried to work out who wrote which part I was soon lost too much in a great story to care. Using Covid as a backdrop obviously makes this very topical right now which is why it’s worth reading now too because you’ll appreciate the phrases we’re all hearing in the media too. But the core is a great short story which has plenty of sick gore in it to keep you entertained in the style you expect from these brilliant authors. Buy it now.

Fast paced page turner

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 12, 2020

Verified Purchase

I had high expectations for this book considering I'm a huge fan of both authors and it absolutely did not disappoint. Plenty of violence and general gross stuff, and the story is nice and fast paced in just the right way. What makes this story unsettling though is that to some degree it's completely believable, I certainly hope what they have written doesn't come to pass, because to some degree you can imagine that it could whi h is very scary indeed. Well done Shaun and Matt! Keep them coming!

I am a huge fan of both Shaun and Matt and with Covid and the lockdown as a backdrop to the story I felt I could really relate to this book more than any other.
Well worth a read. I hope that these 2 authors write more books together in the future.

A clever and deceptively dark take on the current pandemic. I really enjoyed the subplots within the book and the different charactersand their back stories. Not as extreme as I would have expected from these two authors, but good nonetheless.
