GB Publishing Org House of Pigs
2013 INDIEFAB Book of the Year Award Finalist __"This brain-twister of a novel, by horror author Christopher Ritchie, has won plenty of acclaim and deservedly so as he takes the reader on a frightening, disturbing journey that tests the imagination, pushing it beyond the limits of 'normal'. When officer Joe Gullidge is sent on a routine police call, the situation rapidly descends into a sequence of horrifically unsettling events that eat into the very depths of his soul. As 'Gully' is dragged into a reluctant search for the truth, his conscious mind struggles to separate reality from the suggestion of a parallel world. Is Gully's journey a metaphor for the deeper reality of an inescapable past - or is the explanation more straightforward than it initially appears? House of Pigs doesn't fall into the 'easy read' category given the complexity of its ideas and multiple layers of interpretation - but these are strengths not weaknesses. This is a grippingly surreal novel with an edgy narrative and visual touches reminiscent of Stephen King's The Shining."SURREY LIFE magazine (UK) Sep 2015 (p.1 09), Juliette Foster__ More REVIEWS__"House of Pigs will horrify you with some really gritty and gory events...I love the imagery and the pace": Rebbie Reviews__"Needs to be read to even begin to grasp Ritchie's vision...His alternate worlds may throw you for an entertaining loop": Vitina Molgaard, Horror Novel Reviews

GB Publishing Org Stop The 'Pocalypse! I Wanna Get Off!
A witty, wacky satire on the end of the world from Book Award writer Christopher Ritchie. When Marty Molloy goes about his usual business and finds himself drawn into rescuing a young girl from an attack, little does he know she's Earth's last angel on a mission to stop the `false apocalypse' that occurred just over 100 years earlier. Civilisation was all but destroyed following the third world war - the result of political squabbling and growing racial, sexual and religious hate and distrust. Now the angel's mission becomes Marty's: to assemble his own team of Horsemen, to travel back in time to stop the sinister force behind it all, and to save humankind. This bold, hilarious and thought-provoking satire is inspired by the events of 2016-2017 - but its question is timeless: is humanity worth saving? Previously published in episodic format, this novel is the complete collection. Expand your mind - and your vocabulary - and watch out for Red. He's hungry.

GB Publishing Org The Ordinary
2015 INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards Finalist (winners announcement June 2016) __Christopher Ritchie shows he's a skilful writer, after his House of Pigs was also a finalist in the 2013 IndieFab Awards - "This is a grippingly surreal novel with an edgy narrative and visual touches reminiscent of Stephen King's The Shining." SURREY LIFE magazine. 'The ordinary' is an allegory-laden horror-satire in which Stanley, one of the ordinary, is so evil his touch alone freezes girls' minds with fear; caught up in porn, in their teens, he captures and keeps them as trophies. While, 'the ordinary' feed from humanity's rot intent on bringing about the next phase for the human race. Amid this dark descent humanity's fight for survival, as with retired policeman Rob, his son Jez and girlfriend Maria, seems doomed by its own dark, arrogant dehumanizing of women.
