<p><strong>Indies 2013 BOOK AWARD FINALIST HORROR</strong></p><p>Christopher Ritchie shows he's a skilful writer with his 'The ordinary' an&nbsp;<strong>Indies 2015 BOOK AWARD WINNER HORROR.</strong></p><p><strong><em>TV Presenter JULIETTE FOSTER</em></strong><em>: This brain-twister of a novel by horror author Christopher Ritchie has won plenty of acclaim and deservedly so as he takes the reader on a frightening disturbing journey that tests the imagination pushing it beyond the limits of 'normal'.</em></p><p>A world where nothing is as it seems.</p><p>When officer Joe Gullidge is sent on a routine police call the situation rapidly descends into a sequence of horrifically unsettling events that eat into the very depths of his soul. As 'Gully' is dragged into a reluctant search for the truth his conscious mind struggles to separate reality from the suggestion of a parallel world. Is Gully's journey a metaphor for the deeper reality of an inescapable past - or is the explanation more straightforward than it initially appears?</p><p> </p><p> House of Pigs doesn't fall into the 'easy read' category given the complexity of its ideas and multiple layers of interpretation - but these are strengths not weaknesses. This is a grippingly surreal novel with an edgy narrative and visual touches reminiscent of Stephen King's The Shining.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><em>HORROR NOVEL REVIEWS:&nbsp;</em></strong><em>Needs to be read to even begin to grasp Ritchie's vision.
