2013 INDIEFAB Book of the Year Award Finalist __"This brain-twister of a novel, by horror author Christopher Ritchie, has won plenty of acclaim and deservedly so as he takes the reader on a frightening, disturbing journey that tests the imagination, pushing it beyond the limits of 'normal'. When officer Joe Gullidge is sent on a routine police call, the situation rapidly descends into a sequence of horrifically unsettling events that eat into the very depths of his soul. As 'Gully' is dragged into a reluctant search for the truth, his conscious mind struggles to separate reality from the suggestion of a parallel world. Is Gully's journey a metaphor for the deeper reality of an inescapable past - or is the explanation more straightforward than it initially appears? House of Pigs doesn't fall into the 'easy read' category given the complexity of its ideas and multiple layers of interpretation - but these are strengths not weaknesses. This is a grippingly surreal novel with an edgy narrative and visual touches reminiscent of Stephen King's The Shining."SURREY LIFE magazine (UK) Sep 2015 (p.1 09), Juliette Foster__ More REVIEWS__"House of Pigs will horrify you with some really gritty and gory events...I love the imagery and the pace": Rebbie Reviews__"Needs to be read to even begin to grasp Ritchie's vision...His alternate worlds may throw you for an entertaining loop": Vitina Molgaard, Horror Novel Reviews
