The Pope Lick Massacre 2

"Long ago, the locals spoke openly about the Pope Lick Monster. “Half man, half goat, all ax,” they’d say in hushed tones to remind folks to avoid the woods. Those days are long past, but as the line of corpses flows from the woods, the whispers have begun again.

“The Goatman’s back, and these woods ain’t safe until the beast’s hunger is sated.”

But deep down they know the truth … it never will be."

I'll never go hiking...

From the beginning, I was hooked. Mr. Butler "Game of Throne-ed" me the entire book. Every time I felt invested in a character, they met their demise. This book flowed well; fast paced, with well rounded characters, vivid descriptions that set the tone and setting of the story (I could even smell the filth and blood!), and a legendary being that haunts not only the characters, but also the reader.

I also enjoyed the interpretation of the book by the narrator. She was a great choice to take on all of the well developed roles. She I especially enjoyed her reading of Billy and his crew. I am still creeped out thinking about Mike, Lenny, and Tristan.

This was a definitely a fun time. I look forward to more misadventures and suffering of anyone who might find their way in the tunnels of the Goat Man.
