Hovern Bog. People live in terror of it - especially the residents of Fenchurch St. Jude, the little village located at its edge. They think of it as a living being. They've seen it reach out with sinewy tentacles... to take, entangle, and digest.
When 2,000-year-old bodies are recovered from the bog, perfectly preserved, it is the discovery of a lifetime for archaeologist David Macauley. But close examination of the corpses reveals a curious fact: all were cruelly, mysteriously murdered, gnawed to death by some unimaginable creature. Soon it becomes apparent that whatever tortured and killed the bodies from ancient times still roams the bog, and no one in Fenchurch St. Jude - especially David and his family - is safe.
In The Bog (1986), Michael Talbot (1953-1992), author of the vampire classic The Delicate Dependency and the chilling haunted house novel Night Things, delivers an exciting mix of science and the supernatural that will keep listeners guessing until the horrific climax.
"One of the better horror novels.... odd and risky mingling of pure science with fairy lore and gnashed bodies.... terrific." - Kirkus Reviews
"Exciting!" - Publishers Weekly
"Convincingly original!" - Ocala Star-Banner

I have to say David started out in my mind as a jackass. Didn't like the type of father he was, dog owner, or husband really. Was actually pleased with the writing such that it could make me hate the main character. Although as the story progressed I sympathized with him more and began to root for him as opposed to just the rest of his family.
Matt Godfrey does a great job narrating. His voices are great for the characters and I'm sure my desire to keep listening to one more chapter is mainly owed to him.
I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

As someone who looked forward to BBC 2's double feature every Saturday night, this was a blast from the past. (And to be fair, it is an old book.) That being said, be prepared for the "man knows best" nonsense here. You will want to scream at some of the stupid stuff he, David does, and the crap that his wife and his assistant put up with, but hey, think of it as one of those old Hammer features. ;-)
I love the Hammer movies. I love nostalgia. I love anything set in bogs, and to be honest, Michael Talbot does come up with some original ideas here I wasn't expecting. I can't help wondering why this never made it to the screen? It could work even today. Hammer has been resurrected with The Woman in Black. Someone needs to take a look at this book.
