This book was recommended to me, so I thought I'd try it, the horror fan that I am. I couldn't put it down, a fast-paced storyline where the Reverend Archer McFall is believed to be God's Second Son and Jesus a liar, creepy! The characters were not very complex, with the exception of Ronnie Day and Sheriff Frank Littlefield, the good guys, but that is to be expected with your average horror novel. Frank is haunted with guilt over the death of his little brother, a Halloween prank gone terribly wrong, and Ronnie is terrified of the Bell Monster in the haunted red church. This novel was a Bram Stoker Award First Novel Nominee in 2003, great page-turner, scary! I look forward to reading more of Scott Nicholson's work very soon.
