Something of the Night
By Paul Cave


- - Reviews by the Famous and Well Known
Something of The Night: an instant classic written with a hand of experience. The book leads straight into a doomed world, which I suspect the humans deserved. Thrust into perpetual darkness and a barren surface where humans hide, survive, resource and plan in underground caverns. From being the hunter, they've become the hunted by a terrifying blood thirsty vampire enemy. The plot thickens and exposes itself with surprise, horror, emotion and excitement through the twists and turns of quality writing. The humans could be saved by their enemy, chancing a fate worse than death. Nevertheless, if the humans live, then a chance remains for their survival and victory, using their fate to an advantage in the battle to end all war. Could this be what is to become of the human race after the warnings from the planet of misuse? Something indeed will happen; is, Something of The Night, a warning to us all? A horrifying scenario. Be prepared to be shocked at how vulnerable the humans can become and how fragile the planet can be from the forces of nature. Paul Cave has created a larger than life hero, Jacob Cain, whom deserves to be alongside, if not shoulders above, the screen heroes played by Schwarzenegger, Lambert, Van Dam and Willis. Only, more intelligent. Mr. Flees, the pet dog, provides some humour to a dark tale as we get an insight to his inner thoughts behind the yaps and woofs! All the characters are well formed and you get to know them well by the end of the book; sharing their heartaches and delights. Will God's light shine again? If so, it should be on the condition that humans have learnt their lesson from the wrath of nature, becoming the latest hunted commodity in the food chain, quoting from the book: feed, hunt and kill. Eventually, in the battle to end all war, an uneasy sense of compassion rises from the higher ranks of Ezekiel's vampire army. And, Ezekiel himself. Rival factions remain hell bent on pursuing their lust for human blood: decreasing human population to the bare minimum. However, the humans, being human, have retrieved a secret weapon, which they rely upon to defeat the vampire armies, which becomes a wondrous twist of fate. I could go on and on about this book, so good it is; tempting me to tell you the whole story. However, I will stop and allow you to enjoy the gripping tale of horror, bravery, emotion and passion towards an elusive new beginning from the darkness of evil. Paul Cave is to be congratulated on, Something of the Night, which must be a five star recommendation and deserves to be a top ten hit. If not, number ONE.

This book is one of the best I have read for a long time. Biblical in it's scope. The likes of Ezekiel and Raphael, leaders of hoards of vampires, lead their armies along different paths, but with the same objective in mind, the destruction of the last remaining humans. The earth has been damaged by a huge cataclysmic event, plunging the planet into darkness, and leaving the world slowly dying in perpetual night. The humans are not completely without hope though, some powerful characters, Jacob Cain chief amongst them, stand between their brethren and destruction. Altered to allow himself to walk with the vampires, Cain hatches a last desperate plan to defeat the drinkers of blood. Along the way he finds he is not alone and a terryfying trip to the horrors of New York brings the 'Ray of Hope' back to the apocalyptic final battle. Cave's style of writing is captivating, powerful images, and characterisations speed the plot along to it's bloody, yet hopeful comclusion. Comparable to Stephen King's 'The Stand' in it's depth, and to James Herbert's 'Domain'. It would not be out of place beside any of these horror classics. Superb first effort, and looking forward to Paul's next venture. Would love to see a prequal too, where did those vampires come from?? Super effort. Well done!
