White Anvil
Sasquatch Onslaught
by Matt Betts
Genre: Horror
My Review
I’m a huge fan of horror books that have creatures running amok. Especially the big hairy ones. What could be more thrilling then some genetically altered Sasquatch, a military train full of prisoner’s and a snow storm that derails them with no hope for rescue. I was rubbing my hands with fiendish glee.
Yep, this was action packed. Once the train derails, it’s every man or woman for themselves. They get separated into small groups and the altered Sasquatch’s hunt them down, ripping and tearing their way through the poor victims. Well, some I felt sorry for. Other’s I would have pushed in front of me while I ran away.
If I had a check list, every box would have been marked. It was a fast read. The characters were believable. The creatures were horrific. The setting was a character in itself. And the plot was strong and suspenseful. I really didn’t know if anyone would make it out alive. I held my breath with each new attack. And there were plenty.
And the cover. How cool is that! It’s perfect for the story and gives me the heebie jeebies.
Never a dull moment with this one.

Synopsis
As if the cold wasn’t enough…
Fleeing an approaching blizzard, a military train carrying prisoners and a handful of citizens derails in the mountains. The survivors fight to stay alive and regroup as the terrible storm buries them in snow. Only then do they discover the train also carried another cargo—two cars loaded with biological experiments—genetically-altered sasquatches conditioned to annihilate anything they find.
Can the few remaining soldiers team with a pair of sisters and a police constable to fight the relentless beasts, icy temperatures, and escaped prisoners long enough for help to arrive?
