The Gulp (Tales From The Gulp #1)


Strange things happen in The Gulp. The residents have grown used to it.




The isolated Australian harbour town of Gulpepper is not like other places. Some maps don't even show it. And only outsiders use the full name. Everyone who lives there calls it The Gulp. The place has a habit of swallowing people.




A truck driver thinks the stories about The Gulp are made up to scare him. Until he gets there.

Teenage siblings try to cover up the death of their mother, but their plans go drastically awry.

A rock band invite four backpackers to a party at their house, where things get dangerously out of hand.

A young man loses a drug shipment and his boss gives him 48 hours to make good on his mistake.

Under the blinking eye of the old lighthouse, a rock fisher makes the strangest catch of his life.




Five novellas. Five descents into darkness. Welcome to The Gulp, where nothing is as it seems.

I really enjoyed these stories, very compelling and moreish that is why I’m straight into the next book The Fall: Tales From the Gulp 2.

For those of you in Australia like me, these interlinked stories remind me of the TV series ‘Round the Twist’ but for horror fans (less silly and more brutal), with a darker more Lovecraftian feel to it. Or for those who have seen it, like the Bryan Brown’s TV series ‘Twisted Tales’.

For those of you who have not seen either of these shows, they are like the old Alfred Hitchcock Presents TV series, so a bit creepy, with some strange element, and some WTF moments.

It difficult to describe the intense earie feeling that come with these stories, but If you have read either of his short story collections Served Cold or Crow Shine you will know what I mean.
Definitely worth checking out
