The only other book I've read by this author was "The Harvest" and I really didn't care for it. However, I really enjoyed this one. It's practically non-stop horror from beginning to end. I'm going to try one more of his books to see which author shows up before I add him to my must read list.
Good story with some unexpected twists. This copy is a bit worn, but no tears.
