About this deal

This book started with such promise! I love hitchhiker stories, and I love graphic horror, but this one totally missed the mark for me. INTENSITY by Dean Koontz is one of my favorite books of all time, and I imagine if Mr. Koontz has watched a 24-hour slasher marathon and snorted pounds of cocaine, he could have re-imagined INTENSITY as BUTCHER ROAD. It’s these traditional businesses that make Allerton Road different from many other high streets in Liverpool.

This started very interesting but a bit slow. A couple are going through a hilly billy road and of course you know what's coming to them. One interesting part, and annoying is that they knew some of the risks yet put themselves in harm way. Basically they find a car with a couple of people dead, but not being much help and trying to get to the police they move forward. After a couple of miles they find a guy and gave him a hitchride (what? dumb decision...) and then the plot goes from them. It's a mix of wrong turn and other hilly billy cannibal stuff. All of this sounds awesome, right? And mostly it is. We follow a sweet couple, driving for business to Vegas through some long stretches of road that have spotty cell service. They find a car off the side of the road that has the passengers slaughtered. Clearly not dead from the accident the car appeared to have, but from violent cuts all over them. I am a die hard Texas chainsaw massacre fan so anything that I can find that has to do with that I will read it. I was excited to find this book that took inspiration from it, and you can definitely tell a lot of inspiration came from Texas chainsaw. I would have enjoyed it to be a bit more original some things were a bit carbon copy from Texas chainsaw. The census collection is designed so that each group of postcodes should contain at least 100 people (50 in Scotland). At one time there were two other branches of the butcher's, based in Old Swan and Bootle, which later shut down in the mid 2000s.This is a solid little slasher book. In the afterward Jon Athan points to Psycho and Texas Chain Saw Massacre as key influences and it very much shows. Both in plot points, locations, and situations. The ghost of Ed Gein flies high above. If I want to speak to Doug, it will be in between him weighing out onions and carrots to sell to his customers both young and old. The fishmonger's has been in Brian's family for generations but he fears once he retires, it will be the end of the business on Allerton Road. Speaking to Doug, it's clear these traditional businesses on Allerton Road have adapted over the years to keep up with changing shopping habits.

Doug has seen plenty of changes on Allerton Road since his business first opened 50 years ago (Image: ECHO) This is done to preserve the anonymity of the people in that area, as some postcodes cover a very small area, sometimes a single building.Interesting parts? Well, the vast majority of movies are safe to be honest. They usually don't dwell much on the cannibal parts but here it went a bit further. Everything in their houses were made of bones, they had some woman as a breeding ground with some very disturbing descriptions and then the eating. I was eating at that time, had to stop to think about it lol The part I enjoyed the most was the ending with the bedroom and the girl. I thought that was so original and I was reading it like a movie and I could see everything that was happening, totally creepy. The information on housing, people, culture, employment and education that is displayed about Butchers Road, Newham, London, E16 1ND is based on the last census performed in the UK in 2021. Two distinct living areas open up to outdoor spaces, where you'll find an inviting in-ground heated salt-chlorinated pool, accompanied by a pool house complete with a fireplace. This setting is the epitome of entertainment and relaxation, a place to unwind and spend the day. Take an evening stroll down to your very own pond, graced with lily pads and teeming with wildlife. The property is home to five resident geese and a curious pheasant who elegantly patrol the grounds. It’s a particularly windy day on Allerton Road when we visit - but that doesn’t stop a steady stream of customers filing through the doors on their lunch break.
