Cell 11
by William Wickman
Genre: Horror
My Review
The Department Of Anomalous Activity is only called in when a case meets certain parameters. Cell 11 at the Blackburn Penitentiary meets those parameters. Prisoners placed in the cell, located in solitary confinement, go in and never come out. They simply vanish. That’s the least messy part the investigation. When they discover where the prisoner’s go it gets very messy.
Each character in the DAA team was well written. They’re a mixed bag and they all carry something from their past with them. This will either be their salvation or their downfall when they enter Cell 11.
Cell 11 really had some creepy atmosphere going on. And while it might have felt familiar and I could kind of see the ending coming, I didn’t know how the author would get his character’s there. It was a straight through read for me and I had a bloody good time.

Synopsis
Cell 11 of the solitary confinement ward in Blackburn Penitentiary seemed just like any other cell.. but then inexplicably strange things began to occur within its confines. Inmates occupying it disappeared into thin air during the nights…. and then things got worse and far more gruesome..
After all conventional investigations failed, it was time to call in an unconventional team: the DAA – Department of Anomalous Activity; a shadowy government agency specializing in the bizarre and unnatural. It’s up to a team led by Agent Sam Stewart to crack the mysterious case – but not even their expertise is enough to prepare them for the horrors of cell 11.

It’s actually okay with me if I can see the end coming. I enjoy the ride along the way. Creepy atmosphere is a big plus for me!
He can write some visual scenes. Creepy good! LOL
It’s certainly a big thing to be able to write visually creepy with a genre like this! Good pick!
It is! And I appreciate the simple cover art after I read this.
This sounds pretty creepy, and that cover is super weird!
After I read this, I came to think the cover was perfect. It does tell the story somewhat.
*shivers* solitary confinement is one of my worse nightmares. I don’t think I even like to watch or read about it. Same as buried alive *shudders*
Thta’s a great description. Buried alive!
I’m not a huge fan of stories set in prisons. I guess because my husband has worked in one for so long, I get enough of them at home. Plus, I kind of know how cushy some inmates have it so I don’t find a lot of the tales believable. However, at least there is ONE book you’ve featured this month not going on my TBR 🙂
LOL I’m glad I didn’t add the straw that broke the camel’s back.
I don’t generally read books set in prisons as I seem to hate all the characters! Sounds like you enjoyed this one though.
There was one character I definitely liked. The whole time I was reading this, I was thinking how good it would be as a movie.
Love that red cover. You have me curious.
You know what curiosity does….. LOL
Books set in prison are not really my cup of tea …and it seems that you liked this one but did not “love “it Laura.
It seems several of you don’t like prison settings. And this is definitely one of those. It was good but I actually think it would have been better as a full length book. The character’s had the potential for much more show and tell.
Creepy atmosphere is always a good thing. I’m reading a book now with very little atmosphere and it seems like such a wasted opportunity 🙁
I love atmosphere. It makes the story, especially with horror and thrillers.
This sounds spooky. My kind of read 🙂
It’s spooky and out there.
This sounds really interesting. I’m going to have to check this out. I do like creepy stories.
