“Gather ‘round people and you shall hear about a bunch of bullshit that is clear. Of riders and horses and monsters too; your parents lied - they can still get you. Hardly anyone who was there is alive to dispel the rumor, uncover the lies, but there was more than one man who rode that day and more than just Redcoats who got in their way.” Along the way, Longfellow lost something in his translation it seems. Everyone has heard of the French and Indian War and the American Revolution. However, they have not heard about them this way! The American founding fathers had a lot more to deal with at the end of the 18th century than tariffs and tea; avoiding hurled trees from Wendigos and gargoyles falling from the sky took a lot of patience. How is Samuel Prescott supposed to hunt the leader of the Rippers when the British keep infringing upon the colonists’ rights?

Well,think again!For this is the story that they DIDN'T teach you at school. The REAL story that lies behind all those boring facts....From as far back as anyone can remember, man has been afraid of the monsters that lie waiting in the dark, hidden in the shadows, poised to strike at the first opportunity. For too long these monsters have been dismissed as simple scary stories, legends with no substance, until now...For as war beckons all across the Americas, both sides find themselves facing a mutual enemy as all sorts of preternatural and supernatural creatures begin emerging to join in with the fighting. Zombies, werewolves and all manner of nasties have come out of the woodwork and soon start frequenting every major battle. It is up to a lone group of Americans, destined to grow up and become legends themselves in time, to stop the tide of these monsters before everything is lost; not just their right to independence and freedom. One man, or what was once a man, is behind the sudden emergence of these creatures but stopping him will be no easy task.....This is a great alternative history parody novel that is both educational as well as humorously funny. The humour here often borders on satire but it is equally slapstick too! Think Robert Rankin mixed with a heady dose of Monty Python and lots of jokes about the french, with a little bit of education in American history thrown in as well, and you are coming close.I was privy to a review copy just prior to release and I found it a sheer delight to read! Pete Clarke is a genius the way he has combined so many elements to make a thoroughly good novel that never disappoints for a second!If you are looking for something completely different then you have found it here! The book is a cracking good read and well worth picking up! You certainly won't read anything else this year quite like it and it offers a very different look to the history you only THINK you know!
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Excellent grasp of history, humour and the supernatural! By LilyGreenEyes Review first posted on Lily Loves Indie as part of a blog tour where a complimentary ARC was received- http://lilylovesindie.co.uk/?p=457Well hello and welcome to our review of Midnight Riders by Pete Clark. As you can see, we’ve awarded this book 4 stars as we absolutely loved it! I may be English (don’t hold it against me, please) but I have a strange fascination with all things American, especially the history (there’s not a lot of time there but boy have you guys had a lot happen). That being said, it was fabulous to be given the opportunity to review a book which tied two of my greatest passions together, the history of the War of Independence and supernatural creatures!The story has an excellent grasp of the history, and the sarcasm and satirical nature of the humour is fabulous throughout. The history is very well weaved into the story, neither takes precedence which makes it a very interesting read, especially for those of you who are interested by history. The humour, particularly the French bashing, amused me greatly, and the camaraderie between the characters really adds an extra dimension to this. It has brought a very important era of history to life in a way that will interest a new generation of young people – extra kudos for that!Clark has a brilliant, easy to read style to his writing which makes it easy to dip in and out of when you get 5 minutes to read. For me, this is a very important thing in a book as I rarely get time nowadays to read a book in one sitting, and so this was an added bonus for me. I previously mentioned the characters, and I have to say some of them are incredibly hilarious and very well written. Prescott and Boone particularly grabbed my imagination, and Hannah added an excellent dynamic, even if the plot arc with Hannah and Prescott could have been developed a little further (but that’s just me being a little picky).Overall, this was a very enjoyable read which had good pace, developed well and weaved all manner of supernatural creatures into it’s pages. Accurate, and exciting history, manipulated with expertise to add the supernatural element in a very believable and enjoyable way. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical fiction, or even supernatural books as it’s really fab, I know I’m repeating myself, but honestly, it needs saying! Pete Clark has a very unique style of writing, very similar to my own sense of humour, and I am very much looking forward to reading more from him in the future.

If I don't love them, I don't *read* them. + QUINTESSENCE OF EPIC PROPORTIONS By AntonEgo After reading this book, I am put into an odd sort of happy-satire/euphoric/humorous mood, so I will relay such energies into this review.I can best compare my status with books as that of the food critic in the world renown and acclaimed movie "Ratatouille." A specific scene best spells out the possibly egoistical views of my book "critique" nature.--------------SCENE SNIPPET (WHEN ANTON COMES TO CRITIQUE LINGUINI'S *NEW* RESTAURANT)-------------------Anton Ego: You are Monsieur Linguini?Linguini: Uh, hello.Anton Ego: Pardon me for interrupting your premature celebration, but I thought it only fair to give you a sporting chance as you are new to this game.Linguini: Uh... game?Anton Ego: Yes, and you've been playing without an opponent, which is, as you may have guessed... against the rules.Linguini: [awed] You're... Anton Ego.Anton Ego: [sarcastic] You're slow for someone in the fast lane.Linguini: [a little nervously] And you're... thin, for someone who likes food.[crowd gasps]Anton Ego: I don't *like* food; I LOVE it. If I don't love it, I don't *swallow*.[Linguini swallows nervously]Anton Ego: [turns to leave] I will return tomorrow night with high expectations. Pray you don't disappoint me.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------As the great Anton has decreed, "I will return....Pray you don't disappoint me." My relationship with books is roughly the same. I have read enough to know my specific 'taste buds', if you will, towards such things. My chase for books worthy of being read is tantamount to how the Wild Coyote chases the Roadrunner or Elmer Fudd chases Bugs Bunny in a multitude of seat-rocking, mind-blowing, heart-wrenching episodes. (Spoiler Alert: Elmer Fudd catches Bugs Bunny in the last episode. Didn't know that? I almost cried when I learned too.)But I digress. My quest has been akin to that of a Knight without a squire. I am left to my own whims and must do the tedious and menial tasks of dismounting from my horse and leading him through the muddy swamps which my future-to-be-but-not-existent squire would've done for me while I stayed atop my great and fierce mount. However, my unorthodox ways of knighthood have given me a set of skills no knight has possibly possessed: the ability to actually ride a horse WHILE being able to do some other cool useful stuff. And by cool and useful stuff, great sires and damsels, I mean being able to sit down and enjoy a damn-freaking book when it deserves it. Period. Comma. Question Mark.I give a book two hours. Sometimes two minutes, sometimes two pages. If I can't be satisfied within such constraints, I, as AntonEgo has said, "DONT READ THEM." Why waste my precious minutes as being the only useful knight out of thousands on such wasteful things? No, no!ALAS! I have made no sense up until now! So listen to me my fellow friends, countrymen, BOOK READERS! I bring word of a book that has conquered the great SCOTTISH ISLES and brought ravage and famine throughout the stratosphere. It has wreaked havoc and left pink flowers in its wake. If you lack the ability to believe my word and call this frothy nonsense, look NO FURTHER! You have before you a person who has read this book. My mind has been enveloped in weird layers of goo and supernaturally historical stuff. Satire has cut to my heart. Humor has left me weeping under the great stake of Prometheus's eternal curse.Of course, we could attribute such conditions to these onions that have seemingly randomly been placed next to me. BUT NO SIRS. NOT HERE, NOT NOW. This book is the manifestation of the words that I have saved my whole life to only use on that which was deserved. On that which elicited feelings of unparalleled bounds. This concoction of words is what can only be called, my lowly compatriots, a "QUINTESSENCE OF EPIC PROPORTIONS!"In all honesty. This book is very witty and keeps the reader on his seat throughout. It is what can only be described as an epic humor and wit novel. There are no cheesy moments that make you cringe. Each joke is executed flawlessly. On top of this, there is a history lesson to be learned behind everything. There are subtle inferences used for each person and the book contains many layers of depth under all its good humor and horror.A highly recommended book. Such books are what give me such energies to burst out in random and completely nonsensical monologues as such. Have a good day fair sirs. Have a good day and may the Wendigo be with you. And to answer AntonEgo, you will damn not be disappointed.
