Helpful Score: 5
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.

absolutely amazing book! he's now one of my fav authors! couldnt put it down... really unique
This was a good--and creepy--book, but was not what I expected.
Fairly good story of good vs. evil. Nice, quick read.
a good combination of creepy and edge of your seat page turner.
Archer McFall has grown up believing that he is the second child of God. His brother Jesus has the human race believing that there is a Heaven and you have to be good and allow him in your heart.
Archer has purchased the Red Church, with all of its hauntings and deaths that occured around it.
Ronnie Day has heard all the rumours and fears even looking at the church in passing it. Frank Littlefield is the sheriff of Whispering Pines and deals with the death of his younger brother Samuel at the church.
There are those who want to see the retribution of the hanging of Wendell McFall back in the day. He was the preacher at the church and was having people believe in the second son of God.
This book has religious undertones throughout. Good argument about a second son and how things could be as the preacher preaches. You are taken through both sides of the argument and they really both make sense.

For twenty years,the red church has stood empty.Crumbling to ruin,ithas become a site for Halloween pranks and the setting for ghost stories-including one about the thing that lives in the bell tower,a creature being blamed for a brutal murder that occurred in the church's graveyard......
Pretty boring.
