Review title: 'The power of the plant'
Product review: I was pleasantly surprised by "A Scent of New-Mown Hay." I expected a good little British horror novel but got much more.I found it truly hard to believe that John Blackburn:first of all, wrote this as his first published work in 1958. It is masterfully written, with an economy of phrase;second of all, that this book holds up so well to the test of time. Very little in the book seems dated and Blackburn must have had a crystal ball to foresee some of the situations that are presented.Don't judge a book by its cover (if you are looking at the cheesy picture of the bikinied girl on the paperback cover).Spies, mutations, twists and turns, a quiet horror that creeps up on you - I very much recommend this to anyone that enjoys the horror genre, or just anyone that likes a well-written book.
