I've read some of the author's fiction but many, many years ago and barely remember anything I read so reading this book was like discovering a new author. I'm a fan of horror fiction and have been most of my life and have been impressed by other titles from the publisher. I had high hopes for Your Turn to Suffer. I liked a lot about the book and some aspects didn't fully gel for me. I loved the premise, the horror and fear created by being targeted by a sinister organisation whose intentions are not good but you know you're innocent yet there's little you can do to prove it or get them to leave you alone. The book has folk horror elements which I really enjoyed. There is a lot of darkness in the book but the style is very 80's slasher horror which had a few cheesy moments that lightened the mood a little. I though the book was overly violent and gory at times but a solid read otherwise.
