Book Review of The Orphanmaster

The Orphanmaster
daynac avatar reviewed on


An interesting look at life in Manhattan during the mid/late-17th century, plus the addition of a boogeyman of sorts. Macabre due to the nature of the evil, the overarching story is interesting and enjoyable.

Not one I'd recommend widely as the subject matter depicts the brutal killing of small children. So, not one for anyone too sensitive. But anyone looking for a decent horror story mixed with a quasi-historical fiction tale would enjoy this.
