Search - Desolation (Leisure Horror)

Pretty creepy, the main character is supposed to get sympathy but for me he was just whiney and obnoxious. Although, the ending was pretty good.

From the back cover "Cain is eager for a new beginning. After years of virtual imprisonment by his insane father, and intense therapy following his father's death, Cain is finally ready to see the outside world. He rents an apartment and moves in with only a few meager belongings,includingg a very special trunk that contains his most quarded secret-something unimaginable. Something unnatural."

I enjoyed this because it was a creative storyline. The bizzare characters are quite interesting. I have just 2 complaints. My first complaint is that the author seems to want the reader to like and admire the main woman in the story, but she comes across as a callous, selfish, hateful bitch. The second complaint is that the main character constantly refers to 2 other mysterious humans in the story, but they have nothing to do with the climax or ending of the story so who knows what their purpose was. This isn't the best horror novel of all time, far from it, but its a decent , highly original read with some very creepy scenes.

Starts a bit slow, just when you think you can't figure it out, it's over. This book was a bit difficult to follow, but I enjoyed it.

I didn't like this story at all. Too long before any action takes place. I was disappointed!
