The Pervasion of Christian Kraus by Nathan Kuzack

Horror is (and always will be) my favorite reading genre. Still, there are so many authors and titles to choose from. How does one separate the good from the bad, while avoiding the ugly?

Reviews certainly do help. But, sometimes you just stumble upon a gem that happened to be given away by the author. Even then, when you have so many eBooks in your Kindle library, it might take a while to finally get around to reading it.

The Pervasion of Christian Kraus is such a novel for me. I apologize to Nathan Kuzack for taking so long before finally reading this fully engaging creature feature. Not only is the monster original (well, slightly reminiscent of a combination between Dr. Octopus from Spider Man 2 and the aliens from the Alien franchise), but the manner in which the author slowly builds the reader up to the horror of the Anguisite is quite ingeniously implemented.

Also, the different organizations interested in the biological entity and keeping its existence under wraps made the story even more interesting. On the one hand, there is a covert government department trying to develop the creature into a biological weapon. On the other, is an ancient order of brotherhood charged with destroying what they consider demons. Finally, there is a religious cult who worship the damn thing and believe it to be their deity.

Caught in the middle of all this is Christian Kraus: a cop, a former military man and father to a son. While on a manhunt for a serial killer, Kraus ends up becoming the unwilling host for this most insidious parasite.

Nathan develops his characters quite well, balancing their humanity with the horror they are faced with. Expect a full gauntlet of emotions as you read this gripping horror. Though some scenes delve into the macabre, Kuzack handles the delicacies of human relationships in such a manner as to make the reader feel bouts of sadness for their plight.

Will definitely be seeking out more titles by this author.
