For centuries it has waited. Now it is free. Badger Ettison does not believe in demons. Until a shrieking, freezing horror escapes its ancient prison. A soulless hunger. Hunger that turns a beautiful woman into a shrivelled husk before she has time to scream. Hunger that has no form, no substance - but fangs and claws and eyes to seek its prey. Badger Ettison does not believe in magic. But the old blood- rituals are the only way to stop the voracious evil that pursues his wife and son. And they demand that Badger must sacrifice one of the two he loves to save the other. Badger Ettison does not believe in terror. Now he is living it.

Tepper does supermarket horror.,
By frumiousb "frumiousb" (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Blood Heritage (Paperback)
A demon curse, a vicious but beautiful woman, a cult that specializes in killing virgin children-- sounds like typical horror fare. Only this isn't typical horror. This is typical horror written by Sheri S. Tepper. From the moment that you realize that the main character's name is "Badger" to the introduction to a coven of good witches, the book manages to deviate from genre in all kinds of remarkable ways. If you're a Tepper completist, this is well worth reading to see how many of the threads that are so identifiable in her writing show up even in a very early pure genre play like this one. If you're a horror fan, _Blood Heritage_ should manage to give you what you're looking for, with just enough extra spice to keep it from being banal.

Early Tepper,
By John Roger (Moriac, Victoria Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blood Heritage (Paperback)
Blood Heritage as one of Sheri S.Tepper's earlier works is a nicely written horror story with a happy ending, read in conjunction with her other works the beginnings of some of the common threads in Tepper's writing are evident. The ability to create characters with enough whimsy to endear and enough humanity to identify with is part of what makes all Sheri Tepper books worth reading and re-reading.
5.0 out of 5 stars
