Indie Book Review: Dead Hunt, by Kenn Crawford
February 18, Pittsburgh Books Examiner - Holly Christine
Pittsburgh Books Examiner rates this: 5 Stars

Kenn Crawford’s Dead Hunt began as a weekend project for his daughter. Initially intended for the screen, the Indie author came across the power of the audio book and quickly developed Dead Hunt into every media aspect possible.

Dead Hunt begins with a gripping prologue. Girl out in the middle of nowhere being chased by some thing, some group that never tires. She’s hurt, bleeding and comes across the van that we later learn brought her to this location.... More > She’s alone and prepared to fight this unknown mass with every last bit of power she has.

She hurt. Her battered foot pleaded helplessly as she stumbled down the abandoned dirt road. A thick, humid mist hung in the still air. On one foot, she wore a white athletic sneaker; her other foot wore only a blood-soaked sock. Exhausted legs carried her wounded feet across sharp rocks, almost dragging them. Every other step broke the deafening silence with a soft, squishing sound as her tender foot met the hard, unforgiving road.
The rising sun glared its cruel intentions of another scorching hot day.
Her bleeding foot tarnished the road with each cruel step, leaving a Hansel and Gretel-like trail behind her. Her blank stare resembled something between an unknowing daze and an all-knowing fear.
Remnants of the makeup and blush that once highlighted her pretty face were now covered with dirt and dried blood. The tracks of yesterday's tears streaked her dirty cheek.

Not typically one to pick up a tale of the undead, I was conversely drawn almost immediately into Crawford’s transfixing thriller. I wanted Lucy to fight though I didn’t at first understand whom she was fighting.
The reader later learns of a science experiment gone awry: A grieving father wanting only to bring his twelve-year-old daughter Robin, back to life. Who couldn’t sympathize with that? Little did he know the effects his sadness would have on the world...

Dead Hunt is a quick read both in length and story. A page turner that will keep readers on their toes and looking over their shoulders, Dead Hunt reads like a movie and feels like a shiver down the spine. Filled with science, love, an unlikely villain and chilling adventure, Crawford has developed a gripping novel with more to come.

He currently resides in the Margaree Valley of his native Canada and teaches private guitar lessons while continuing his writing. His current projects include a follow-up to Dead Hunt and "Blood Curse: Memoirs of a Suicidal Vampire".
