Subject B’s terrifying ordeal continues. And this time, he may have met his match.

When Marcus Holt is kidnapped by the brilliant and sadistic Professor Worthe, the battle-hardened Vietnam veteran is forced to endure a never-ending gauntlet of terror. He thought his days of death and horror were over, but Worthe’s village promises only more of the same. And his next horrific encounter is about to begin.

There is a new test subject in Worthe’s haunted village: Subject G. A Roman Catholic priest in the outside world, this new victim’s faith and devotion are put to the test when the group is hunted by a vicious ghost called the "Butcher". Seething with anger and rage, the Butcher haunts the crumbling remains of an abandoned taxi station. She is capable of tearing flesh and shattering bones with the unnatural strength in her ghostly hands.

As Professor Worthe watches his latest experiment unfold, the vindictive wrath is set loose against the terrified subjects. Marcus possesses an iron will, and years of combat experience, but will it be enough to lead his team to survival and defeat the unholy killer stalking them from the shadows?

4.0 out of 5 stars The Twisted Experiment Continues

You knew the twisted experiment of Dr. Worthe would continue. A good part of the book enlarges the background of several characters. It's hard to believe it the bad guys have all the resources they have that they cannot figure out who is saboteur in their mist. Marcus and our good guys continue to survive and it's a little hard to understand how they can remain so cool. Maybe Worthe will make a mistake with his next subject acquisition.

Worthe Village Series Booksl 1-3

Worthe Village Series Books 1-3, Ron Ripley’s new series in his impressive repertoire of supernatural stories, introduce new characters who face supernatural challenges that takes horror to a new level of fright.

The main characters encounter a professor who has the single minded purpose of explaining how fear works. To do this the professor forces people to choose between who they value and their own instinct for self preservation.

Using the supernatural to explore relationships and personal interactions to answer questions about fear or some other question is not a new idea. But, how this theme is explored in the Worthe Village and the lengths that the professor goes to get his answers is novel and uniquely insidious, frightening and down right scary as hell.

Both supernatural and non supernatural operators in this series of books take you on a journey of fear that makes you wonder who are the real monsters in the stories. I encourage you to read all three books and answer this question for yourself.

I have enjoyed this series, because one can't even begin to guess how things will finally work out in the village! There is discourse among those hired to ensure that operations run smoothly in the village. The ghosts are restless as well, but one can never be sure whether they are friend or foe. Plenty of twists and the promise of a new acquisition for the village leaves me anxious to read the next book in the series!

Older characters with a new one. Although a new character is in maybe the new dinamic isn't so appealing. Even the ending with the "continue" wasn't enough to try the new book. We'll see.

Love, however, the twist with Timmy, David and also, Professor Abel past and present problems. That twist is what save the book.

I absolutely love this series especially the characters and ghosts. My favorite characters are Marcus, Alex, Timmy, Joyce, Philip and Elaine. Hate Abel Worthe, Kimberley and David. I really felt sad about the priest who does not believe in ghosts but believes in demons. It leaves you impatiently waiting for next book. Highly recommend this series but need to start Worthe’s Village to get the full effect of the characters.

Marcus, Alex and Joyce are the soul survivors of the haunted village created by Abel Worthe, he is experience with a ghost as a kid and Prompt him to set up an experiment with kidnapped victims and haunted house removed from their original place and bought to the village. The ghost that comes with these houses is what the captives have to deal with in order not to be killed. Well into this series now, im glad I stuck with it now as I wasn't to sure after reading the first book, things didnt make sense but everything unfolds over the next two books. Brilliant series, Ron Ripley is now one of my all time favourite Authors. Highly recommend

The author kept me on my toes. His imagination is awesome.. Sometimes gory, sometimes wondering what is going to happen next, and always not wanting the book to end.

The ghastly experiment continues but I'm beginning to feel a bit of sympathy for Abel Worth, what awful experiences he had in childhood! I wonder if I will continue to do so as the series evolves?

There are plenty of other things happening as Ripley introduces new characters and new situations that happen among the staff, especially Timmy, gosh what a great character he is!

I've downloaded book 4 and plan to start it straight away.
