Mr Mumbles Reviews

Tall Tales & Short Stories
Twists and surprises, frightening characters, chase scenes, fight scenes, a dash or two of humour and wit, makes for a page-turning ride of thrills, spills and spine-tingling scares.

The Cat's Rrar
Clever, scary, refreshingly different not only in plot but in style, this is a series you simply must start. Just make sure you apologise to your imaginary friend when you’ve finished.

The Book Zone
This book has everything: the aforementioned horror, great characters, nail-biting fight scenes, heaps of tension and just enough humour to make you smile (just a little) between the horror scenes.

Liverpool Echo
Children love to be scared and this will certainly tick that box. But the tongue in cheek humour, constant thrills and richly drawn characters make this better than your average horror.

The Phantom Zone
Mr Mumbles is the first of what will become a series of Invisible Fiends books. And it is not for the faint-hearted. It is 250 pages of fast-paced, spine-tingling fun with a dystopian vision that is truly horrifying.

Weirdmage's Reviews
This is a very good debut by Hutchison. The story managed to grip me, and I will certainly get hold of the rest of the books in this series. And if you like a good horror story with a few twists and plenty of action along the way, I suggest you pick it up too.

Liverpool Daily Post
This book is not for the faint-hearted - it’s Freddie Krueger for pre-teens. The non-stop action and tension has you in its grip from the very beginning, and the sense of danger does not leave you for a second.

Raggy Maggie Reviews

Tall Tales & Short Stories
I loved the first book in the series, Mr Mumbles. Mr Mumbles was horrible and scary but Barry Hutchison has surpassed the scares in his sequel, Raggy Maggie.

In my opinion Caddie is one of the greatest ever creations in children's horror literature. She is so totally deranged the reader just does not know what to expect from her next.

The Cat's Rrar
This book ramps up the fear factor even more impressively than book one because far more is at stake. Kyle is suddenly not just running for his own life but against the clock to save others.
