Book Reviews of The Devil Rides Out

Book Review: Classic English Horror
Summary: 4 Stars

A ripping yarn, with French Dukes, American playboys and English gentry rushing around the countryside of Europe, saving various other ill-fated but well moneyed friends from the clutches of superbly stereotyped Satanists.

Written earlier this century this very well researched and erudite piece of classic English horror reflects the fashionable fiction of the times. It's like reading an Agatha Christie written by her 'evil twin', with all the grandeur of midnight chases in Bentleys, stately homes and trips to swanky Hotels in a number of European cities.

Although, because of it's era, the politcal correctness sometimes leaves a little to be desired, Wheatley conveys a wonderfully atmospheric sense of eeriness and unease throughout the book. The setting may be a little antiquated for some of today's readers, this book is still as gripping as any contemporary author and takes us through an adventure down the 'left hand path' that will satisfy the appetite of any horror hungry reader.
