Parmenion Books Review
A chilling, modern tale of life, betrayal, Humanity and vampires. A Story that begins in the 13th century swiftly accelerating into modern times and grips the reader from the outset.
This story unlike your run of the mill Vampire novel does not rely on the past and the natural superstition of that era. It moves swiftly from past to present day Wales and intertwines you in the everyday lives of various families going about their daily normality.
The author throws you into a mix of family emotions and troubles experienced by so many modern families while slowly seeding the birth of a modern vampire and the devastation do come..
This is an exceptional novel by a very skilled writer. Making this book a must read for fans of the Horror genre and a recommendation for anyone who has never tried that genre but always wondered where's a good place to start.
By Ken Scott- Author and top Amazon reviewer
I’ve never particularly liked the horror genre or the chiller type books as they are sometimes called. I’ve read them all, Stephen King, Koontz, James Herbert but give me a Grisham or a Harlan Coben any day of the week. And so it was without too much enthusiasm that I sat down on a wet Wednesday evening with Daltons debut novel.
Six hours later I put the book down, my eyelids crying out for mercy and just before I turned out the light I swore I saw a movement behind one of the curtains. Damned imagination!
And when I awoke, I put my daily chores on the back burner to finish the “Possession Legacy.” What more can I say? A book finished within twenty-four hours. Quite simply the best debut novel I’ve ever read.

It didn’t take me long to get into this book. Trevor Dalton’s debut novel reeled me in from the very beginning and tormented me through every twisting, trembling, turn of each page. Well written, with an imagination to rival the greatest horror writers of all time. Yes, I’m talking King, I’m talking Allen-Poe and Bram Stoker. This man is up there with the best of them and this debut novel makes me want to break down his door to ask where the next one is.
Brilliantly researched stunning prose, 31 Jan 2007
I wouldn't normally touch this sort of book with the proverbial barge pole but I was drawn in by the poem on the opening page. This guy can write, I thought never mind what he's got to say! But wow was I in for a pleasant surprise because not only can he write - at times with breathtaking beauty but the story was well researched and believable (too much so) and I was gripped to the last page. Can't wait for the next. |
Don't miss this one, it's a goodun', 18 Jan 2007
What starts as a very normal family holiday ends up as something far from normal, a complete nightmare in fact. There are plenty of sub-plots and some excellent character development. What can I say, read it, you'll enjoy it. I am really looking forward to the sequel. |

This is a cross between a horror story and a thriller. Luckily there is not too much blood and gore, which I hate. Instead there is lots of action and suspense that keeps you turning the pages. |

get hold of this book and then prepare yourself,on the other hand don t , just read it, 14 Jan 2007
not quite realising what i was about to read,i jumped head first into this book.the prologue throws you into a dark medievil world,where the basis of this great story has its beginings told. then without warning you are thrust into the modern day,idllic locations,an array of characters from the most innocent to the most vile share the limelight in this interwoven tale of people inextricably linked by one common denominator,A THIRST FOR BLOOD. the authors use of graphic sexual violence and stomach churning horror may shock you,but this is balanced with a sense of normality in the situations,people, and the places the story revolves around.you will be bounced around the different sets of characters from paragraph to paragraph like you would"nt believe.but this is what keeps you gripped and renders you helpless to put book down. this is not a genre i would normally read,but having read it,and been totally gripped by it,mr daltons next book will be a must read for me nice one trev and all the best with the next one |
Great first book!, 7 Jan 2007
