Book Description:

After twenty years in the Marine Corps, Major Frank Cutlip comes home to the quiet hills of his beloved Pennsylvania to take up a new life as the sheriff of Allegheny County.
Professor Beth Lowe took up a post at Paxton University because she became enamored with western Pennsylvania’s charms, a more enduring love than she thought she would ever feel for a man.
When Beth’s dog is savaged by wolves, their peaceful lives are shattered, and their fates entwined. On the brink of death, the dog not only survives but grows larger… and more vicious. A thousand-year cycle of carnage is reaching its climax once more, and the peaceful wooded hills will soon be smeared with blood. 
Sheriff Cutlip leads his community in a hunt for the hidden terror, but then his own brother is bitten, his blood corrupted by the ancient evil. The sheriff must confront terrible choices, and he can’t do so alone.

‘The Clearing’ — a novel of ordinary people thrown together in extraordinary circumstances. 

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

An excerpt:

Beth punched the sheriff’s number into her phone as she pulled out of the parking lot. “Sheriff’s office,” came a high, evenly modulated voice, “Deputy Gibbons speaking.”

“Good morning, Deputy. I wanted to report that my dog has been bitten by a wild animal of some kind.”

“Yes, ma’am. Your name, please?”

“Beth Lowe.”

“Alright, Ms. Lowe, when did this happen?”

“My dog got out of the yard last night, and was gone all night. When he came home this morning, he had been bitten on the neck. He seems to be fine, but I thought you should know.”

There was a long pause on the other end of the line. “You say it happened last night?”

Something in the deputy’s tone rang an alarm, “Yes, that’s right. Why?”

“Nothing, ma’am. What’s your address and phone number please?”

She recited the information, and the deputy thanked her, told her the sheriff would be in touch, and hung up. What was with him? she thought. He had sounded so spooked.

Back at the house, the ladies laid extra blankets in the dog’s bed, filled his food bowl, and attempted to put Flapjack down to rest. He would have none of it, and bounced around the room, mouth a’barkin’ and tail a’waggin’. As he paused to catch his breath, Barlow the cat strolled in casually. The moment his eyes fell upon Flapjack, he froze. He didn’t hiss, fluff up, or bare his teeth. He remained in position, one paw poised in mid stride, his yellow orbs fixed upon the dog. Flapjack slowly turned his head. Rising to his feet, he gradually lowered his head and regarded the feline with a level stare. They both remained in their respective positions while both Beth and Lizzie sat transfixed.

The ring of the telephone jarred everyone, and Beth stood to answer it, her eyes on Flapjack as he shook his head slightly, as if waking from a trance. For his part, Barlow seemed content to offer Lizzie an opportunity to scratch his ears, but he cut a wide circle around the dog to do so. Beth would later recall this was the last day she would see her two pets in each other’s company.

‘The Clearing’ — a novel of ordinary people thrown together in extraordinary circumstances. 

An excerpt:

An eerie howl split the night air. It seemed to go on forever, rising in pitch and holding, before slowly falling off. Beth felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand up, and Lizzie stood frozen, staring up into the hills. Beth had completed her graduate work in the Gila National Forest of New Mexico, and had heard her share of coyotes yelping.

This wasn’t a coyote.

The howl was stronger—almost demanding—and lacked the mournful tone of a coyote’s lament. Flapjack whined then sprang up to pace back and forth, hunching his shoulders and sniffing ceaselessly. Another howl burst forth, this one closer.

Keeping her eyes on the dog, Beth commanded, “Honey, go inside. Everything is fine, but I think you should go in for a minute.” A third howl cut off any protest the youngster might have made, and the slamming screen door was evidence of her compliance. Turning her attention back to the woods line, Beth considered the agitated canine. “Come on, boy. Let’s go inside. We got enough bugs tonight, anyway.”

Suddenly, a faint rustling came from just inside the trees, and as her eyes snapped toward the sound, she could swear she saw a shadow flitting by an opening. Flapjack’s whimpering elevated and he was now standing with ears up. Suddenly, he bounded forward and cleared the fence in one leap. Beth scarcely had time to scream “Flapjack!” before he disappeared into the blackness of the forest.

Bringing an old legend into the 21st century,

March 7, 2013

ByAbrach

This review is from:

The Clearing (Paperback)

I received a free copy as a member of the Beta team, in exchange for a fair and honest review.
The Clearing sees a staple of Eastern European folklore transplanted into small-town America. A pack of ravenous werewolves is wreaking havoc across Western Pennsylvania; at its head `The Elder’, the thousand year old carrier of an ancient virus. Anyone bitten and infected by one of the pack is of course transformed into a werewolf.
Carnage ensues as a motley group of lawmen, farmers and other local worthies try to destroy the werewolves without themselves becoming bitten and infected.
It takes a skilled author to convince his readers to believe the unbelievable, and in The Clearing, Thomas Rydder does that from the outset.
The setting is well described, the characters varied and believable, the ongoing love story between Sheriff Frank Cutlip and university teacher Beth Lowe a much needed counterpoint to the surrounding mayhem.
Strangely, I found some of the most effective passages to be those written from the point of view of the werewolves. This adds hugely to the story, although what it says about Mr. Rydder I’m really not sure. If I ever get around to asking him I’ll make sure it’s not during a full moon.
Certainly, the change of continent from Transylvania to Pennsylvania has helped bring the old legend into the 21st century. In fact this is a book that I could very easily envisage in film; although not 3-D. Please. I don’t think my nerves could handle that.
All in all, `The Clearing’ is a memorable book from a talented author, of whom I think we’ll be hearing a lot more in the future.

A fresh take on the Werewolf story

March 7, 2013

By Frank R. Errington “Heavy reader” (Norristown, PA)

This review is from:The Clearing (Kindle Edition)

A relatively new voice in horror, Thomas Rydder delivers in a big way in The Clearing, his first full-length novel.

Beth and her adopted daughter, Lizzie, live in the quiet community of Hemingway in Western Pennsylvania. And there’s the newest member of their little family, a shelter dog which Lizzie named Flapjack.

Rydder does a great job of characterizing the close relationship between Lizzie and Flapjack. But then things begin to change as Flapjack starts hearing creatures within his brain, calling to him to join them, to leave the comforts of his life and to lead the brotherhood.

I guess it’s no secret that The Clearing is a Werewolf story, especially since the writer actually wanted to call it “Werewolves and Flapjacks” which I kinda like as a title.

Without giving too much away, The Clearing, is a very well-written horror story. One which takes ordinary people and places them in extraordinary situations. There is a body count that includes characters that you might not expect to be torn to shreds. And for romantics, there is a budding romance between Beth and Sheriff Frank Cutlip.

When the Sheriff’s brother, Adam is bit and turns, the quest becomes a race to somehow save Adam and destroy the pack.

That’s just an outline, there are so many twists and turns and discoveries along the way that it made The Clearing an excitingly original page-turning adventure I just didn’t want to put down. Even though the book is fine as a stand-alone novel, I understand a sequel is in the works and that’s one I’ll be on the lookout for.

The Clearing

March 6, 2013

By Carol Carroll (Iowa, USA)

This review is from: The Clearing (Paperback)

 Fantastic story! I don’t usually like werewolf stories, they seem totally impossible to me. But, Thomas actually made this one believable. Great characters, plots, and scenes. I enjoyed the entire read. Write on, Thomas!

5.0 out of 5 stars 

O. G. Tomes

This review is from: The Clearing (Paperback)

Instantly, I was captivated by the characters, then Thomas Rydder hit hard with twists, intrigue, suspense, love and blood. A straight to the point ride from every direction. His scenes play out before your eyes and as sharp as the fangs of the werewolves he creates in this ‘monstrous’ tale woven with his own unique take on this ancient lore. I would love to see this as a film and do the whole ‘drive-in nostalgia’ thing on a hot summer night with a full moon shining in a clear night sky, of course.

An intelligently written Scarey Book

March 3, 2013

By LINDA A. ROOT “a prosecutor”(Hi Desert, California)

This review is from:The Clearing (Kindle Edition)

 I saw this on Goodreads today, downloaded it and read it in a sitting. It is not my usual kind of book. but the sample drew me in. I am not into horror stories, (I write historical fiction) and I have a thing about werewolves, but this one was so well crafted that I confess to having enjoyed it. From the first few pages, I was as caught up in the story as Frank and Beth were. I would have given it a five, but I have a ‘thing’ about books that leave the storline dangling. This book almost but not quite stands alone. As to this debut, I found no flaws. I will look for many other books from ThomasRydder in my Kindle Library. I especially thank the author for telling a gripping story without having to put Liz at risk. The story was tense enough without it.

An interesting take on werewolves

March 2, 2013

By Angie(United States)

This review is from:The Clearing (Paperback)

 A quick read with lots of action. There’s some romance too. All the sex is implied (I’m not complaining), but Rydder doesn’t skimp on violence (again, not complaining). It’s also worth noting that Mr. Rydder is donating 25% of this book’s royalties to the Feline Freedom Coalition.

The writing is a little choppy but it doesn’t detract from the story. This book is reminiscent of a horror flick you’d take a date to on sultry Friday/Saturday nights.

The story relies heavily on pre-Christian ideas about werewolves, which was a nice change from the norm. Rydder’s concept about werewolves is one I haven’t seen a million times before, but I was able to guess what would happen next because of character POV changes that gave away too much information. I would have liked the story more if it was told from one character’s POV, preferably Frank’s because Beth appears to be unstable. When we first meet her, she’s pretty stellar – raising her dead sister’s kid and working as an Etymologist at a local school; then, we see her from Frank’s POV and she appears bat-crap crazy. She was traumatized from stuff that happens in the story but I kind of want to read the sequel just so I can find out if she’s really nuts or not. And if her method of catching men is how one does it…well, turns out I’ve been doing it wrong.

beautifully orchestrated combination of fantasy, suspense, and action.

March 1, 2013

ByKirstin L. Pulioff

This review is from:The Clearing (Paperback)

 What a refreshing take on the werewolf story! This was a beautifully orchestrated combination of fantasy, suspense, and action. Thomas Rydder did a wonderful job of creating this suspense thriller. The characters were portrayed with great depth and feeling. You truly connected to them and routed with them through their challenges, hunts, and dilemma’s. I found it very refreshing the way the werewolves were portrayed and evolved… I thought the weaving of that fantasy into the thriller aspect very well done. There were enough ebbs and flows to the pace to keep the plot moving smooth, a lot of personal trauma and growth with all the characters, and a satisfying and positive resolution. A great read, and one that I would recommend to anyone.

Great Read

March 1, 2013

By Diane(England)

This review is from:The Clearing (Paperback)

I was fortunate enough to Beta Read this book. It is an excellent read. If you like a fast paced adventure and werewolves then this one’s definitely a winner. Beth and Lizzie get a new dog named Flapjack, and so the adventure begins. Flapjack turns out to be no ordinary dog. After escaping and being bitten, Flapjack makes an amazing recovery. How could this happen? After some livestock problems in the area soon the Sheriff is involved. I don’t want to give too much away about this well written book. It certainly deserves a read.

Brilliant Debut Novel

February 28, 2013

By Paula Acton

This review is from:The Clearing (Paperback)

 I was a little unsure reading this after recently reading Anne Rice’s The Wolf Gift however it actually proved to be the perfect book to compliment it, at opposite ends of the spectrum they both contemplate the nature of man and beast and whether good and evil are such easily defined concepts. The story twists and turns with engaging believable characters I highly recommend it.

Book Description:

After twenty years in the Marine Corps, Major Frank Cutlip comes home to the quiet hills of his beloved Pennsylvania to take up a new life as the sheriff of Allegheny County.
Professor Beth Lowe took up a post at Paxton University because she became enamored with western Pennsylvania’s charms, a more enduring love than she thought she would ever feel for a man.
When Beth’s dog is savaged by wolves, their peaceful lives are shattered, and their fates entwined. On the brink of death, the dog not only survives but grows larger… and more vicious. A thousand-year cycle of carnage is reaching its climax once more, and the peaceful wooded hills will soon be smeared with blood. 
Sheriff Cutlip leads his community in a hunt for the hidden terror, but then his own brother is bitten, his blood corrupted by the ancient evil. The sheriff must confront terrible choices, and he can’t do so alone.

‘The Clearing’ — a novel of ordinary people thrown together in extraordinary circumstances. 

An excerpt:

An eerie howl split the night air. It seemed to go on forever, rising in pitch and holding, before slowly falling off. Beth felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand up, and Lizzie stood frozen, staring up into the hills. Beth had completed her graduate work in the Gila National Forest of New Mexico, and had heard her share of coyotes yelping.
