Eerie and Compelling,
By
This review is from: The House on Orchid Street (Mass Market Paperback)
I always get excited when I see a new T.M. Wright book out on the stands... and this one is no exception. There are a few spelling errors that sometimes pop up throughout the book, but that can't be blamed on the author... fire the copy editor!!!! This novel resonated with me long after I was finished. The mythology was facinating, the characters real, and the pacing of the scenes and dialogue moved wonderfully. I was slightly unsatisfied with the ending, but I still rank T.M. Wright among the top 10 horror authors of the last 2 decades.

No Mercy!,

This review is from: The House on Orchid Street (Mass Market Paperback)
Okay, I'll admit it, the moment I saw the book, I thought it was going to be another one of those books. You know what I mean, the ones that are mildly entertaining but completely forgettable. Well, faithful readers, it has finally happened. I have found a new love and his name is T.M. Wright.Delivering a plot so sophisticated, Wright weaves the past and the present with class and patience. Excited, I anticipated every page with bewilderment and delight. The pace in the book is deliberately slow and subtle with a powerful build-up. The author refuses to give in to cheap thrills and reckless speed. The atmosphere is clouded with an air of confusion and darkness. You feel as though something just might jump out at you and you can hardly breathe. T.M. Wright's style of writing is refined with a graceful prose. Appearing as if he were whispering in your ear, he allows the reader to come to his or her own conclusion. Catching you off guard, the characters appear to be one dimensional only to unfold, change and grow. Demanding to be felt and heard, these characters not only resonate but they haunt you well after you've put the put book down. My rate? Are you kidding? I give this book a 5 but technically it's a 4 because it's only available in paperback. Look out King, There's a new master in town and he shows No Mercy!

No holes only careless readers!,
By Ethel Mac Cumhail (Rochester, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The House on Orchid Street (Mass Market Paperback)
I've read The House on Orchid Street. I agree with the author there no holes in the story. Perhaps some readers don't closely enough. It's true Wright doesn't "hit" the reader over the head with plot elements. Neither does he leave any questions unanswered for the careful reader.
