Product Description

Visitors are more than welcome in the isolated rural town of Hopkins Bend. The town needs them for their annual sacrifices...and entertainment. Now outsiders have stumbled into the town's traps. Some will be held for their captors' perverse, degrading amusement, but some will face a far more gruesome end at the yearly Holiday Feast. The townspeople hope their unholy ritual will protect them from the curse that befell the Kincher family. For more than a century the Kinchers have been changing, mutating, becoming gradually less human. And at the center of it all lies the dark secret, the malignant evil that controls Hopkins Bend and has made its residents truly...DEPRAVED.

Review
"DEPRAVED lives up to its name in the most brutal and visceral way. Sort of like a roller-coaster ride... but with battery acid and razor blades on the handlebars. Smith's most effective and merciless work to date!" --Ronald Kelly, author of FEAR, HELL HOLLOW,and MIDNIGHT GRINDING & OTHER TWILIGHT TERRORS

Review
"Here's an author exploding onto the genre!"

Backwoods Horror With A Twist
Depraved is a perfect title for Bryan Smith's latest novel. It also could have been called Survivor. While there are plenty of depraved acts from the backwoods denizens of this book, it is the attempts to survive made by the victems of those denizens, that propel the plot. Everything takes place (I believe) within 24 hours, and those hours are packed with more violence, gore and depravity than you can shake a blood covered stick at. Smith also gives us a supernatural element that makes Depraved more than just a common cannibal redneck story. Demons, sex slaves, mutant freaks, flesh-eating backwoods clans and ordinary people doing ANYTHING to survive. What else can you ask for? How about one of the most over-the-top sex scenes ever put to paper?
Come on, you know you want to read it.

Gripping and Raw
Bryan Smith DEPRAVED is a very well done piece that should please anyone who's into intense, sexually-charged horror. What makes this one even more yummy is the fact that the narrative is strong, razor-sharp and filled with a highly dose of action sequences and gore. Moreover, despite limited time spent on character development, the author still succeeds in making you care for these people stuck in the backwoods inhabited by inbred cannibals. And the message he tries to convey, that you can never stay the same when life throws you a major curveball, is done with panache and a sense of realism that even surpasses the sometimes larger than life decisions of some of his survivors. Though his customary use of the supernatural is subdued here, Smith delivers his biggest page-turning effort yet.-----Martin Boucher

Sick, twisted....and lots of fun!!!
Bryan Smith has one sick mind...and I love it!! I read this book in less than two days and was anxious to share it with my friends and family that like good horror, gore and suspense. I am anxious to see what his next book will be like. Mr. Smith please hurry up and write it!! I have to put Bryan Smith on the same level with Brian Keene and that is quiet a compliment.
Will not go into particulars of the book because other reviewers have done so, just wanted to say you will not be disappointed if you like mutant cannibal stories with lots of blood and gore!!
