Helpful Score: 2
Let me start by saying that I read a lot. I am very rarely impressed. I have a hard time finding books that interest me anymore because the formula has been done a hundred times before by different authors and different characters in different locations, etc, etc.
However, this book is different. Different. It is haunting. You will remember it for years. I was impressed by this book enough to put a paperback in my permanent collection.
The main character is an unlikable guy, womanizer, drug addicted, musician on the downward slide. I acknowledge that there are nods to Mr. Hill's father through out the book, but it is rare to find a horror novel without some reference to The King. Mr Hill not only gets into the head of the well developed characters, but he gets into your head as you read. Four and a half stars, two thumbs up, and a standing O.
This is not a book for the squeamish, or for those who enjoy light romantic suspense. If you are a horror fan, ala Clive Barker or the like, you have to read this book.
