Review

* Dan Poynter's Global Ebook Awards 2013 FIRST PLACE (Horror) ** Indie Excellence Awards 2013 FINALIST (Horror and Thriller categories) ** Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards 2012 HONORABLE MENTION (Genre Fiction) *
"The Dark Horde is a powerful and fast-paced horror novel ... There's plenty of violence, but it's all very well-written and it never feels out of place ... Highly recommended!" - Indie Bookspot"This book managed to hit me where it hurts at every single point. Not only was it just scary it was creepy and at certain points it made me feel uncomfortable ... Overall, I found The Dark Horde a great read and Brewin shows extreme potential and I hope to read more of his work." - Fiction Love"The Dark Horde is a wild, foul-mouthed, bloody, creative, demented, scary, and hilarious thrill-ride of a horror novel. Imagine Lovecraft as told by Chris Lilley and you'll be close to this uniquely Australian of horror stories ... There isn't much to criticize here, though this kind of book will not be everyone's cup of tea." - Writer's Digest

12-Star Horror: I'm Still Scared!

The Dark Horde

Another 12 Star of 5 Novel!

Well, I've seen "reader's hooks," that nebulous ability and task of an author to solidly grab readers and pull them into the tale, come and go-but seldom have I seen a reader's hook as powerful as this one! I can't imagine any reader "closing" the book after the first page and walking away-not even if the room was afire. This is not to mention the first chapter, which had my hair standing on edge and me jumping to tiptoe on the bed just in case the story was real-so the creature wouldn't catch me too. Now THAT is one powerful mode of storytelling. I shall now be on the lookout for any fiction by "Brewin" and ready and eager to be devoured-hmm, I mean to devour the story.

What an eye and ear for setting and description! What a great use of characterization! But even more importantly, this author rocks with his approach to horror and suspense. I am totally thankful I read this one IN THE DAYTIME!

This is not the first book by Brewin I read, so I certainly had high expectation. The Dark Horde not only lived up to them, but surprised me building a lot more on top of that. It is a book about fear - all the continuum from childish fear of the dark to some really ugly scenes typical for the horror genre. There is also a philosophical side to it. Towards the end of the book, I was asking myself existential questions like:
1. Is that so bad to be one of the Dark Horde?
2. Are we humans any different?
3. Should you try to fight when all is against you?
I definitelly recommend this book to all the fans of horror, action and thriller. And, to all who want to find out more about their own demons and fighting them. You know, there is a Dark Horde in each of us, just keep them on a leash.

A jigsaw with missing pieces

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 22, 2013

The Dark Horde would have worked brilliantly if the author knew what style of writing he was writing in and had kept that consistent through out.

Instead we get a story style that wanders from HP Lovecraft to some first-draft prose. This is a writer who seems to be in search of a voice and hasn't found it yet.

All of this would be less of an issue if the story actually went somewhere and developed in a structured way. Unfortunately it doesn't.

What it does have is some interesting characters, that are never really developed to potential. We have an unknown number of bestial/demonic antagonists and they go around tearing people to pieces. That aspect of the story isn't bad, but without a decent narrative to hang the blood soaked bits off - you aren't left with a book I can recommend.

The Dark Horde is a good read... Fast paced action from down under... Bringing demonic elements, horror and action together in an exceptionally fast paced book, Berwin really entertains the reader and keeps the gore coming!!!

The story line was okay, but the context of who was telling the story was constantly changing and inconsistent. I wanted to read till the end but I was disappointed.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 2, 2014

Yes, the premise sounded interesting, but it ended up a slapped together bit of horror without much character development, oddly erotic description of the core of the unknown evil, and a rushed, abrupt and nonsensical ending that leaves the reader asking WTH just happened? Not at all a satisfactory read.
