About the Book

Newfoundland, Canada, 1992. Gale Harbour hasn't seen any excitement since the military abandoned the base there thirty years ago, unless you count the Tuesday night 2-for-1 video rentals at Jerry's Video Shack. So when a dead body turns up floating in the town water supply, all evidence seems to point to a boring accident. Niall, Pius and Harper are dealing with pre-teen awkwardness in the last days of summer before the start of high school. The same night the body is found, the three of them witness unusual lights in the sky over the bay. Is it a coincidence? Are the lights connected to the rapidly-increasing string of mysterious deaths? And what does the creepy old lady at the nursing home have to do with it? There is an evil older than time hidden deep beneath the waters of the North Atlantic. It is hungry, and vengeful, and it has its sights set on Gale Harbour to begin its path of destruction. All that stands in its way are a group of kids who would rather be playing Street Fighter II...

About the Author :
C.D. Gallant-King writes stories about un-heroic people doing hilarious things in horrifying worlds. A proud Newfoundlander and Canadian, he was born and raised in a town that looks suspiciously like Gale Harbour, and currently resides in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre, and is a happy husband and father of two.

Review :
Samuel Gately, author of The Fire Eye Refugee: "In case you missed the clues the title provides, this book is typical Gallant-King - gutsy, original, and savagely fun. With aggressive pacing and a stable of interesting characters, Psycho Hose Beast From Outer Space is a real page-turner. The story takes place in a coastal town during the nostalgic 90's and definitely channels some Stranger Things vibes with its youthful cast and heavy horror-mystery plot. I'm a sucker for nostalgia done well and thoroughly enjoyed the various movie, video game, and cultural beats. Gallant-King has a smooth touch with it, never overdoing things, just slipping era details in masterfully to keep you grinning. The book sports an excellent cast of characters. I felt for Niall, crushed hard on Harper, and wanted to smack Pius and Brian/Skidmark. I particularly enjoyed the chapters from the local Fisheries and Wildlife officer Dick Jeddore's perspective. I liked that a (relatively) responsible adult actually recognized something unusual was occurring and that the normal course of action wasn't cutting it. One of the tropes I find most frustrating in horror stories is when every adult/every non-central character is blind to extreme circumstances well beyond reason. It was fun to follow Dick's journey and his increasing frustration with running across the younger set right in the dangerous mix. I'm not big on plot recaps, so I'll just say it hums along smoothly. Mysteries deepen, characters turn from friend to foe and vice versa, old dangers resurface with the tides. There are healthy doses of suspense and humor throughout. Highlights include run-ins with the local bully (I've always been frightened of slightly unhinged small town bullies - guess I can thank the other King for that one) and the utterly ridiculous Skidmark, who tells it how it is. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for a cool, fun read that deviates from the norm. I love books that keep you guessing and this one did, start to finish. A fantastic read." Paul Carberry, author of Zombies on the Rock: "Right from the beginning you know that something extraordinarily strange is happening in Gale Harbour. C.D. Gallant-King pays an exciting and thrilling homage to the 90s. The story is expertly paced and an excellently crafted sci-fi. I enjoyed every moment with Pius, Niall, and Harper as they solve the mystery of the Psycho Hose Beast from Outer Space." Damien Larkin
