Dispatch
Author: Bentley Little
Jason Handford has a real gift for writing letters that get results-from complaints to love letters to editorials. Then he's offered a job to do it for a living. It consumes his time, his mind, and eventually, his soul. Jason really should have stuck with freelance.

A wonderfully written book by Bentley Little. Gripping tale of a young man who grows up in an indifferent family with no real friends to become an accomplished writer. Exactly what he accomplishes is unclear however his talent for the written word turns into an obsessive vice leading to unfortunate consequences that often reflect terrifying nightmares and personal fears. Although it is a spellbinding book, the end leaves you with a question mark. Almost as if you are looking for one more chapter to finish the story. It feels unfinished and there for slightly unsatisfactory. Otherwise the story from start to finish is incredibly difficult to put down. A great author I've discovered, however I do hope he learns to finish these great amazing stories.

Erie book...like all of Bentley Little's books...he is a new favorite author of mine. Always keeps me on the edge of my seat, and I have to keep looking over my shoulders whenever I read one of his books. Highly recommended.

Another gem from this "horror writer's writer." Bentley delivers the goods in this tale of a letter writer who has a bit too much free time on his hands, and a knack for getting into trouble. An excellent read and highly recommended for anyone who wants to stay up late at night glancing over their shoulder every five minutes, and jumping at every little creak and groan in the house.

This story will make you re-look at the phrase "and in the beginning there was the word." I have always been better in expressing myself in writing rather than speaking, but thankfully I haven't had the experiences that Jason did. I guess I am not a Letter Writer! LOL Another great story from Little!

Bentley Little's books get you thinking about what lies just beneath the surface of what is considered normal. This book did not disappoint me at all. Kept me guessing and thinking about my own little quirks.

I love most of Bentley Little's books and this latest one was very absorbing. An original idea, like one of his previous books, "The Ignored." Jason Hanford loves to write letters and reaps the benefits -- getting freebies galore and inspiring change. Then one day he receives a letter offering him a job writing letters, but he should've asked some questions about the job. Very good horror book.
