The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'The Forces Of Grey':

Reviewer Michael Knell wrote:
Most of my education has come from The University Of Life! More tee shirts worn, washed, ironed and put away than I care to remember. One particular tee shirt worn at the Public School that I attended as a child is the inspiration for the horror/occult book, The Forces Of Grey. The first part of the story is based on a truth, a truth so horrifying that at the time, unlike the characters in the book, I did not pursue it. Later research has convinced me that, in not pursuing this truth, I made a wise choice. The realms of the occult, although easily proven to exist, remain a vast unknown with the many experts on the subject being but chickens in a barnyard attempting to debate nuclear physics. Therefore, a chicken has written the second part of this book. However, one privileged to have had its own personal insight of the truth. THE BOOK: Simon and Tom are in the final year of school. One evening they witness a dog being killed in a car accident. There is a cottage nearby where a woman disappeared in strange circumstances. Then the boys see a mysterious figure dressed as a monk. All is not as it should be. The boys' fears are confirmed next morning when they see the dog alive and well, at its master's feet. Fourteen years later the secrets of the past return to haunt Simon, his wife and their child. Occult powers are raised till a finale that is horrifying and unexpected.
