Author John Hunt has been selected for multiple BookBub Featured Deals for his bestselling novels.

Kyle didn't like being told what to do. When his brother demanded that he get himself home right now, no stopping, no passing GO and no collecting two-hundred dollars, the order didn't sit well with him. So, he stopped at a bar in an unknown town. He met a girl. They drank, left, did drugs together, and when he awoke in the morning, her decapitated head lay in his lap. As he pieces together what happened the night before, a police cruiser rolls in behind him. From that moment, the chase is on. What Kyle doesn't know is that he isn't the only killer in town.

Murder Inc.

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2020

John Hunt's forte are books telling stories of horror. The current one is certainly right smack dab in the genre. The book opens as Kyle is driving home after serving a sentence in prison for second degree murder. He is an individual whose background is dark and a personality that is unable to control impulses to lash out violently when angered. He lives with his brother who takes care of him since their parents are both deceased. His brother had told him in no uncertain terms to drive straight home without stopping for anything. Kyle, though decides that it has been a long time since he has had a beer and stops at a bar. While drinking he picks up a woman and they go out to his car for a bit of sexual activity. In the activity Kyle passes out and when he awakens he sees the woman next to him but with her head away from the rest of the body.
The only thing Kyle can think of is to flee the scene and try to make it back to his brother. And therein begins a story which incorporates a lot of killing including a female police officer and friends of the woman whose head he chopped off. It also utilizes the services of a genuine monster who contributes to the number of bodies stacking up. Many of the murders are described in a lurid highly descriptive manner which might bring on a feeling of repulsiveness on the part of the reader. These killings and the manner some are handled are certainly a part of the miasma hanging over the story.
Horror stories are certainly a part of the literary experience and have been so for many years. For example, the books by Edgar Allan Poe are enjoyed today with some of these incorporating horror. Mr. Hunt does them well and I can't see not reading them along with books with other themes to make for a more complete reading experience.

Murder and Mayhem and much more!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2020

Thank you to the Author, John Hunt, for the sneak preview to his newest novel Murder Run.
This book will have you biting your nails till the very end. A young man is out at a bar and he meets a young woman - should be a nice evening - until the young man, Kyle, wakes up in his truck with a dead body. Kyle doesn't quite remember what happened, and he is on the run from the police.
Kyle's reign of terror continues in the Canadian wilderness where there are many people looking for him - the cops, the dead girl's dad, and some bikers seeking revenge.
When Kyle stumbles upon an isolated house, all he wants is some food and water. But the owners of this home are quite different - they don't have a driveway, there isn't easy access to this property, and there are rumors about this house and the owners. Stories that go way back - stories about monsters, missing people, and murder. Looks like Kyle will get more than refreshments here and there may be worse fates than police and bikers..
This book is just scary good - unexpected twists and turns - and well written with humor and lets say lots of gorey details. Spooky fun - 5 stars!

Well Worth A Read

Murder Run

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2020

Kyle is recently out of jail and already finding trouble. I'm not sure exactly what's wrong with Kyle but at the very least he has an impulse control disorder and anger issues. Kyle doesn't seem to know what's wrong with him either since he often can't believe the things he has done, but it doesn't stop him from doing worse. This time, there is more than the cops to worry about. When Kyle kills a girl he meets at the bar he has to run not just from the law but from the local biker gang who wants revenge. With the cops and the gang hot on his trail he wanders onto a property where strangers are always unwelcome and are generally never seen again should they choose to trespass.
There's lots of guts and gore through out and it's not just just the blood spilled by Kyle everywhere he goes. I raced through this book excited to find out who if anyone would survive.

I received a complimentary copy for review.

A Monstrously Fun Halloween Homage to the Classic Slasher Flicks of the '70s and '80s!

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2021

Kyle Harcourt is a deadbeat ex-con who suffers from uncontrollable bouts of violent anger. While driving home to visit his brother, Steve, he stops at a honkytonk bar, Rachel's Watering Hole; the bar is located in Leonard, a small, isolated town in Ontario, Canada. Grace Deboers, a plain girl, finds Kyle attractive; she eagerly agrees to take a ride with him in his truck. Kyle drives to a wooded area where they begin popping pills. The next morning, Kyle wakes up with Grace's decapitated head in his bloody lap. Thus begins an insane odyssey of nonstop violence that culminates at the Grayson homestead. A monstrous beast is rumored to protect the Grayson family, making intruders disappear.

On Halloween, I was excited to win a Kindle copy of John Hunt's "Murder Run" from Goodreads. It was a perfect novel to read on Halloween. The novel's first half reminded me very much of Quentin Tarantino's film, "From Dusk till Dawn," in which a gang of murderous thieves patronizes a Mexican bar operated by vampires. However, instead of vampires, Kyle, our antihero, meets a large, furry beast--a type of Big Foot with razor-sharp fangs and talons. The novel's second half reminded me of Rob Zombie's splatter fest film, "House of 1000 Corpses," in which the insane Firefly family abducts and tortures a group of teenagers on Halloween.

"Murder Run" made me reminisce fondly about the slasher flicks of the '70s and '80s. It reminded me of such classics as "Hell Night," "The Funhouse," "The House on Sorority Row," "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," "Monstrous," "Grotesque," "Ghost Keeper" and, one of my personal favorites, "The Beast Within." Some of these films involved teenagers spending the night in a supposedly empty mansion and later discovering, too late, that something huge, hideous, and very dangerous is roaming its hallways, cellars, and attics. Some of these films have strange families with homicidal mutants kept locked away inside secret rooms.

While reading "Murder Run," I wondered if the author is a fan of classic horror slashers. For example, Chief Craig Evans compares Kyle to Jason Voorhees, the serial killer who wore a hockey mask in the "Friday the 13th" series. Also, readers learn that Kyle is originally from Haddonfield. Another notorious masked serial killer is from Haddonfield--Michael Myers of "Halloween" fame. There are probably other references, which I didn't catch. This novel is very fast paced because most of the plot transpires in one day, which adds to the suspense and tension. "Murder Run" is also very bloody and gory (there are dangling eyeballs and limbs torn from their sockets) and it has a high body count, which I love. Because it also has an open ending, there is the possibility for a sequel.

As I stated earlier, Kyle is an antihero, much like Barnabas Collins, the vampire, of the gothic soap opera "Dark Shadows." I was rooting for Kyle to survive his encounter with the monster. Some readers may view the monster as an antihero, hoping it will mete out the justice that the inept police force can't. Chief Evans is the tortured soul who is torn between capturing Kyle alive and shooting him down like a rabid dog. There is also Hank Deboers, the drug-dealing trailer trash who is the angry father of the decapitated Grace. Hank and his biker friends go on a vigilante hunt for Kyle in the woods and end up at the Grayson homestead with devastating consequences. Perhaps this speaks volumes about vigilante justice.

John Hunt's "Murder Run" is a fun thrill ride of murder and mayhem. Don't take it seriously. Don't analyze it to death. It is pure R-rated escapism that is not intended for the faint of heart. Thankfully, I was able to escape back to the '70s and '80s when horror films (not insane politicians) terrorized America. My only issue with "Murder Run" is the poor editing. There were too many grammatical errors. Their frequency annoyed me and hindered my suspension of disbelief. Nevertheless, I highly recommend "Murder Run" to anyone who loves a good horror mystery or wishes to reminisce about classic horror films. Reading "Murder Run" made me want to run out and purchase Hunt's other novels. If I had a few more hours in the day, I would. Until then, I will patiently wait until the release of his next literary creation.

Great character development and twists

Reviewed in Canada on October 6, 2020

Verified Purchase

Loved the character development! I hadn’t read the description carefully enough so I was really surprised and even after I read that, there were still some twists that really captured my attention. You find yourself rooting for the murderer ... which isn’t what I usually find myself doing - sometimes at least... The dialogue is great and I laughed outright many times, as usual with this author. This is his best yet. Lots of nuances packed in this one!
