Dennis Shore is a best selling horror novelist. He has given many readers nightmares with his stories. Shore has had no problems coming up with inspiration for his stories till now. Recently Shore experienced writer's block, which is a terrible situation for any writer. It is made even worse with a
While at one of his book signing, Shore meets a young man named Cillian Reed. Mr. Reed happens to the true author and he is pissed off. Reed seeks redemption against Shore as all of the glory Shore has been receiving should be his. Anything Shore could have ever imagined could not prepare him for the nightmare he is about to experience, where only the strong will survive.
This story reminded me of the movie Window with Johnny Depp. It was dark, suspenseful, and had a really good plot. Though I suspected there was someone odd about Cillian, I never could have guessed the ending would end the way it did. I liked this supernatural feel that the story had. It kept my interest. Mr. Thrasher is a very creative and exciting writer. I hope to check out more of his work.

Spooky. That would sum up how I feel about this book in one word--spooky. Although I like suspense novels, this goes way beyond suspense; this is a tale of horror. However, the author steers away from graphic violence; he allows the readers' imagination to work.

The name of Cillian Reed, sounds like the chill this reader gets as we peek inside his evil mind. And Bob ... oh, I cannot tell you about Bob.
Read this one with the lights on, and be prepared to keep turning pages rather than close your eyes and chance nightmares. Contains mild profanity. Interview with the author included.

Ick, this was too scary, frightening, and gross. Great writing. But really terrifying and I felt sick when I finished and not edified at all. The message was lost in the midst of the "darkness" in the book.
