Swamp Monster Massacre
by Hunter Shea
Genre: Horror
My Review
A skunk ape is Flprida’s own version of the big hairy guy, Sasquatch. They’re a private creature, until they get riled. And a group of tourists are about to stir the hornet’s nest.
I’m a huge fan of Hunter Shea’s books and this comes in as one of my favorites. While a shorter story, I’d call it a novella, he packs it with some compelling, original character’s and nonstop action. Then he brings on the horrendous in all it’s fury.
It surprised me how much I came to like Rooster. He’s not your typical hero. After killing a gangster, he hijacks a boat full of tourists in the Everglades. They seize an opportunity and try to take back control. When the boat crashes, they kill a young skunk ape. And thus begins a bloody dash as the rest of the apes come for retribution. He tried to do the right thing for these people. It was his fault they were in this situation. He really tried.
I must mention the twins. The girls had that blond beauty thing going on and I immediately thought, no brains so they must be chum for the beasts. Actually, they were double tough and I was so enamored of them that I was hoping Hunter would let them live. He’s known for knocking off characters willy nilly.
This story moves fast. The author introduces his characters. The how and why is told. And then it goes insane. The apes are monstrous. Just look at the cover. They’re mad and have only thing thing on their mind. Get the humans who killed one of their own. Kill the humans. And that’s what they proceed to do. Hunter doesn’t spare on the gory bits and actually had this one scene with alligator missiles that had me me cringing and laughing out loud.
If you like crazy, gory horror and creatures straight out of nightmares, step right up. Hunter delivers in oh so many ways.

Synopsis
The swamp belongs to them. Humans are only prey.
Deep in the overgrown swamps of Florida, where humans rarely dare to enter, lives a race of creatures long thought to be only the stuff of legend. They walk upright but are stronger, taller and more brutal than any man. And when a small boat of tourists, held captive by a fleeing criminal, accidentally kills one of the swamp dwellers’ young, the creatures are filled with a terrifyingly human emotion—a merciless lust for vengeance that will paint the trees red with blood.
