Find this review and more at Lusty Penguin Reviews!The Vagrants is a captivating supernatural thriller from Brian Moreland.Journalist Daniel Finley lived undercover among the homeless for six months as research for a book. During that time, Daniel witnessed a group of nomads called the Seekers join his group of homeless people. Their enthralling leader, Mordecai, seems to have incredible power over his followers and is able to convert his friends to join his group. With great willpower and determination, Daniel avoids the pull of this mesmerizing leader. Two years later, Daniel’s book is published, exposing the Seekers and their leader. I found Daniel to be a fascinating character, trying to bring attention to the plight of the homeless. Daniel becomes fearful, believing the homeless people that he once lived with are following him. With the financial success of his book, Daniel hopes to make amends with his father; only he discovers that his father is in debt with the Irish mafia. To protect his girlfriend and his father, Daniel finds himself confronting the mysterious cult leader, Mordecai. Throughout, you can’t help but wonder what the enigmatic Mordecai really is. Needless to say, Moreland doesn’t disappoint when Mordecai’s true nature is revealed. Daniel’s predicament keeps the pages turning to the dramatic and action-filled climax.Moreland, once again, creates entertaining characters, a unique plot, and pulse-pounding action, making The Vagrants a novella that’s hard to put down. The Vagrants is the third story I’ve read by Brian Moreland, and I absolutely loved it. All I can say is if you enjoy horror with a supernatural twist, Brian Moreland should be on your list of authors to try.I received an eBook copy of the book from the author for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review, and all conclusions are my own responsibility.
