I rather enjoyed this book by Philip Fracassi and found its pace very agreeable to me. Over two days I read through this book and was taken to some extremes of emotion which some of the finest horror authors deliver. I felt often, while reading this story, of early Stephen King novels where the main character was an author and the craziness that can befall such a person. The story itself seemed to become more frantic and gruesome as the pages flew by and the last quarter of the book was fearsome.
I rather enjoyed this book and I also enjoyed it taking turns that I had not anticipated. I would recommend this book if you enjoy reading horror books.
