If you are a fan of well thought out, character thick, epic horror novels such as Mcammon's Swan Song, or King's Salems Lot, or Straub's Floating Dragon. Well then welcome to your new favorite writer. I heard about James A Moore because this book (series) won a Bram Stoker award for best horror novel. So I figured I would check it out. Two months and three books later I was a fan. The thing to me that makes this series so impressive is it's depth. Moore goes all the way back to the beginning of this town to weave you the tale of how it came about to be cursed. The first book--Writ in Blood is a fascinating history lesson of this fictional town. Read these books in order. They are numbered so you can't screw it up. Writ in Blood #1, The Pack#2, Dark Carnival#3. His writing style will keep you turning the page and up late at night wondering what will happen next. Full of twists and turns and "oh thats creepy" moments. Enjoy them I know I did.
