What readers are saying:

★★★★★"A deliciously terrifying tour de force of dark horror. Expertly crafted, wildly twisted, and powerfully original. Patrick McNulty is an author who makes me want to sleep with the lights on."- Seth Wimmer, screenwriter "Last God on Hell Mountain"

★★★★★"...mindblowingly fantastic! To put it another way, Patrick, you owe me a new night guard. I forgot I was wearing it and clamped down during a certain part of the book and bit it in half. I kid you not! I told my husband he was on his own for dinner and feeding the dog and finished it in 3 hours. The characters are well developed, the storyline grips you by the throat, and you feel like you're on the best rollercoaster you've ever ridden!"- Kristina, ARC review

★★★★★"If I could give this book a million stars, I would. I was given a beta-version of this book. So I got to read it before it came out. Not only did I finish this at a record speed, but this book has been on my mind every day since finishing it. I loved this book so much, that I also purchased the digital version that came out. (I want to just read it again and again and see if I can spot any differences). If you like horror, you will love it. If you want to try horror for the first time, this is the perfect start!I If you hate horror, try it anyway, because if this book can't change your mind, no book will!"- Evelyn, Goodreads review ★★★★★

"This book was such an insane and incredible ride! Read as an ARC and finished in one sitting, I could not put it down. It plays out like the best horror/thriller movie. The descriptions were perfection and you felt like you were in the thick of it with the characters. My heart was pounding from start to finish and it never let up. And that ending!!!! This book has made me an instant super fan and I can't wait for more! Top book of 2023 and top 5 ever. A book I cannot stop raving about."- Erika, Goodreads review ★★★★★

"Loved the book so much that I'm going to purchase a physical copy ASAP."- Sophie, Goodreads review ★★★★★

"What a creature feature this book was. The terror that each family felt was so well written that I felt as though I was in the situation with them."- Josette, Goodreads review ★★★★★

"This is my first read by this author, I've already got another of his at the top of my TBR list, and I'm excited for the upcoming books in this series."- Danielle, Goodreads review ★★★★★

"Amazing creature horror that takes place on the worst family Christmas trip ever!"- Tina, Goodreads review ★★★★★

"Patrick McNulty is an amazing storyteller and "A Dark Breed" is gem of a creature feature. Right from the beginning it has your attention and will have you flipping the pages late into the night."- Sammi, Goodreads review ★★★★★

"THIS WAS AWESOME!! If you have nails, you're gonna bite them! If you have a seat, you're gonna be on the edge of it! If you have a cabin in the mountains, may as well sell up now because you're never going back there! Patrick Mcnulty has delivered a fast, brutal story of one family's fight for survival in A Dark Breed. It's dark, it's gory and it's bleak but oh boy is it good!"- LeighReads, Goodreads review ★★★★★
