DEEP INTO THE FOREST ⸸
Dating back centuries, an old evil has returned to within Rothiemurchus Forest. With stories of people having disappeared down the years and fires in the forest at night, wildlife are now being found dead — mutilated and slaughtered.
When a farm, surrounded by the rich forest, becomes affected by sinister and unexplainable events, a group, including an uncle and nephew, soon face unimaginable horrors, beyond comprehension.
Set at the heart of the Cairngorms National Park and its beautiful scenery, a contrasting dark and evil secret is about to be revealed …

EVIL IN THE FOREST
When best friends, David and John, are made redundant, they decide to go away with another close friend, Grant, to David’s uncle’s farm up in Scotland in Rothiemurchus Forest. David soon learns of strange and terrible things happening on the farm, where some of the animals are found mysteriously mutilated and slaughtered.
David’s uncle also informs his nephew of other strange phenomena — including whispers in the wind, and a strange and constant sensation of being watched by someone or something. Driven by his concerns for his aunt and uncle and fuelled by curiosity, David is determined to travel up north, against the wishes of his uncle.
Things soon start happening even before David and his friends set off. They become targeted with frightening and inexplicable events, and messages warning them to STAY AWAY, so that one friend is too scared to go, leaving only the two to make the long-distance drive up to Scotland. Despite more frightening and unimaginable things happening on their way up to the Highlands, the two friends, now fearing for their lives, remain determined to reach the farm.
With their minds racing to all sorts of theories, they will soon face an unparalleled horror, with pure evil awaiting them, and an old Scottish folklore proving to be terrifyingly true ...
MY REVIEW:
FAMULI CANI IS THE SECOND BOOK I HAVE READ BY AUTHOR ALAN GOLBOURN AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO READING MORE BY THIS AUTHOR. A WORD OF WARNING. THIS BOOK IS A VERY LONG BOOK WHICH I LOVE BUT WELL WORTH THE READ. I WAS PULLED INTO THE STORY FROM THE VERY FIRST PAGE. THERE IS AN UNKNOWN HORROR IN THE WOODS THAT IS TERRORIZING DAVID'S AUNT AND UNCLE. THERE ARE ANIMAL KILLINGS AND BIZZARE THINGS HAPPENING ON THE FARM THAT CAN NOT BE EXPLAINED. AS DAVID AND FRIENDS INVESTIGATE, THINGS CONTINUE TO GET WORSE AND PEOPLE STARTING DYING. THE AUTHOR HAS CREATED A SCARY STORY THAT WILL LEAVE THE READER TRULY TERRIFIED. I FELT THE CHARACTERS WERE WELL DEVELOPED AND STRONG. I LOVED HOW THE AUTHOR USED ELEMENTS OF THE SUPERNATURAL AND SCOTTISH FOLKLORE TO TERRIFY THE READER EVEN MORE. I COULD TRULY SEE THIS TERRIFYING STORY HAPPENING FOR REAL. EVEN THOUGH FAMULI CANI IS VERY LONG, I BELIEVE IT MAKES THE STORY EVEN BETTER. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND FAMULI CANI. IT IS TRULY A TERRIFYING READ THAT WILL LEAVE THE READER UNABLE TO SLEEP. 5 STARS.
Praise for Famuli Cani
