Product Description

When investigative telejournalist Nick Pearson is sent to Darworth in Hertfordshire, he finds a community divided. A steady influx of foreign immigrants has led to racial tension and open hostility and violence. The African newcomers are particularly targeted, regular victims of vandalism and even fire-bombing. The Africans seem unwilling to fight back, until the arrival of a mysterious, powerful man who many of them know - and fear. Nick begins to wonder if there might be some kind of connection between this newcomer and the desecration of a local cemetery - an event followed by the disappearance of a number of corpses and a series of bizarre, ritualistic murders. In each case, the victims bear the same marks on their bodies. Scars that Nick has seen before, five years earlier in Africa. Ancient religion and modern prejudice are about to collide, and when they do, there may be no survivors. At least not human ones ...

Review
'This book will shock you. And so it should ... Not for the squeamish but this is powerful stuff.' Dreamwatch 'If you like your horror testosterone-charged and visceral, then you could do much worse than digging into Unmarked Graves. Oh, and it's got a great ending, too.' SFX

Customer Reviews

Avoid
Every new Hutson book that comes out seems to get worse.
I used to be a fan of early stuff, and even now religiously buy every new S.H. release in Hardback.
However, this will be the last one.
This book is very lazily written and if you can be bothered takes only a few hours to read.
Very little thought into character development and background (which was never a strong point) almost to the point of being non-existent.
Stick with likes of Jack Ketchum or Edward Lee if you want to decent horror book that is well written.

Not Hutsons best
I bought this book as i have read shaun hutson from the start of his career and this must be the worst he has ever written,the two/three page chapters are too short and on the whole the book is poor not his best by far.

Nothing great.
Typical of Hutson lately, Dying Words was a hit, Unmarked Graves is a miss.

It's a standard Zombie affair, nothing that you haven't read before and so short it's like it has been written over a weekend just to pay the mortgage.

You'll see it coming before it happens, it isn't bad, but is one of his worst efforts.
