Everyone has their demons. But Stinky Pete released his into the school, and now it's out for blood.

It's 1981, and in the town they call No Hope, Theo knows Pete is going through a tough time. God knows Theo's been there himself. He offers a hand in friendship, an offer to get a few guys together for some poker, but something holds Pete back. He's just acquired a Book, and this is the day Pete's gonna make his father pay for all the shit Stinky Pete's had to deal with...

With the help of the Book, Pete unleashes an monstrous, vile demon within the halls of Clarington High. In a matter of minutes, most of the students are dead or dying, the school has been moved to a sickening elsewhere, and Theo and his friends are thrown into the fight of—and for—their lives.

They have one chance to defeat the demon. One chance to get back home. One chance to save themselves. And it's the biggest gamble of Theo's life, but the deck is stacked against them.

The demon they call Swlabr is trying to find and break them for its own needs...

Their inner demons are fighting against them...

And the Book? Yeah, that damned Book has plans of Its own.

Tobin Elliott's "Out For Blood" is a thrilling and intense horror adventure that plunges readers into a nightmarish scenario set in the early 1980s. This second instalment of the Aphotic series delivers a gripping tale of friendship, survival, and the battle against external and internal demons.
Set in the ominously named town of No Hope, the story follows Theo, a teenager who reaches out to his troubled friend, Pete (Stinky Pete), who's dealing with personal demons and a troubled past. Pete has come into possession of a mysterious and dangerous book. Fueled by anger and a desire for revenge against his abusive father, he unleashes a monstrous demon within the halls of Clarington High, transforming a typical school day into a horrifying bloodbath.
Elliott's writing is vivid and chilling, capturing the terror and chaos that ensues as the demon wreaks havoc.
I struggled with the first part of the book, probably because I found it hard to relate to teenage boys' constant toilet humour. However, the character development is exceptional. The pacing of the novel is relentless, with each chapter escalating the tension and horror. I'm looking forward to the next book.

Tobin Elliot grabbed my attention right away with “Bad Blood” so I knew I had to check out “Out for Blood.” I was not disappointed. This story is grisly and visceral in all the right ways. I felt a Lovecraftian tone that was delightful and satisfying. Strap in, this is a page turner. I HIGHLY recommend.
