Even though horror is having renascence of late, original horror books are hard to come by but ’Mixing with The Unknown’ might just break the mould. In a nutshell, its traditional horror meets ’Pulp Fiction’ with some new twists on horror staples with an erotica edge. John Spencer, a seasoned film scriptwriter of horror is jaded and looking for a new challenge when he is offered a book publishing deal if he can come up with a different slant on the horror genre. He sets about writing ’Mixing with The Unknown’ but doing so, stretches his mind to its limit, tipping him over the edge resulting in dire consequences for all concerned.The extra twist is, anyone buying the book gets to experience first-hand the chapter of the book they like best and a nightmare scenario begins to unfold. The stories are all loosely entwined with each other like the film ’Pulp Fiction’.The book contains new Urban Horror plus new twists on Vampires, Possession, Ouija Boards, Ghosts, Witchcraft & Voodoo. This novel also brings another extra to the table, The author feels the erotic element in traditional horror seems to have been lacking in recent years, with the emphasis more on violence and gore So, the bottom line is this book is very much story & character driven and the erotic element is just as much a part of this tale as any violence. Also, somewhere in this book, there may be the odd message lurking to prick your consciousness. This is likely to be the first in a series of books so if you have the nerve to read this book it’s time to mix with the unknown!
