Stylish Horror,
By "kenamond" (Wheeling, WV USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Little Boy Lost (Mass Market Paperback)
Phenomenal! This is one of those rare thrillers that applies a Jamesian "turn of the screw" with accomplished flair. The novel itself is compelling, but the real treat stems from the shifting viewpoints, including a protagonist with an eideitic memory, combined with evocative, streamlined prose. I've been a T.M. Wright fan for years. His works frustrated me as a teenager because they did not culminate in a crystal-clear solution. But something about his haunting style, the enigmatic plots, and the mysterious ghosts populating his fiction always drew me back. As an adult I am better able to appreciate Wright's ambiguous style and finesse -- adults are, by definition, simply more "haunted" than children. I've revisited many of his novels over the past few years and they never disappoint. This is one of his finest, one that undoubtedly influenced other novelists in the field. Wright is indeed the unsung hero of literary American horror fiction.

Great read,
By Karrigan Ambrian "Karri" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Great book, no idea why it isn't more popular (3 total reviews??). The ridiculous plot synopsis doesn't help. WHY WOULD A DEMON WANT A CHILD?!? I wouldn't have given it a second glance had it not been through such positive word-of-mouth.It has a great atmosphere. The structure of the narrative is interesting...it was very well-done, but I don't want to go into details - it's best to discover it for yourself. My only gripe is that the ed-ition I read was full of strange hy-phens. I read the Kindle version, so I don't know if it's a leftover from the print edition, or if it was thrown in there to help set the dream-like, offputting tone of the book. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

Amazing book,
By Discriminating Reader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Little Boy Lost (Paperback)
What a wonderful treat to discover this writer! This is a beautifully written but nightmarish story, absolutely hypnotic, and probably the most original concept of how the supernatural world works that I've ever stumbled across. Throughout this book, things like ghosts and demons begin to make sense and become even more terrifying because of it.
