It's clear to Horridge that Craig and his sexuality are a threat to the city and Horridge can't rest until he has flushed him out. Murders have been plaguing Liverpool and Horridge suspects that Craig is the culprit, mainly because he is homosexual, Horridge's word choice, not mine. The residents of this building, unfortunately, become involved with John Horridge after he becomes obsessed with another man living in the building, we'll just call him by his surname, Craig. You also get the perspectives of two young women, Fanny and Cathy, who live in flats in the same building, along with a few other young folks mentioned. His thoughts are despicable in many respects, but it does set the stage nicely for the ultimate events that play out. This story mainly follows John Horridge, a man who you can tell fairly quickly struggles with life. I needed to experience it for myself, so I found this pristine edition and immediately gave it a go. There was something about the way Hendrix described Campbell's distinct brand of Urban Horror that called to me. I first stumbled across The Face That Must Die in Paperbacks from Hell: The Twisted History of '70s and '80s Horror Fiction, where Grady Hendrix discusses it on pages 122 - 123.
