Review
"...The prose is that ideal compromise between plain and vivid that allows the story to unreel through the videocassette player of the imagination to maximum vicarious effect.." -- Thomas M. Disch

A great horror thriller., July 24 2001
By Jim Lay - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Nightflyer (Paperback)
This is my favorite novel from Christopher Fahy. It made me a fan of his and I've been looking for his novels every since. A young boy, who leads a kind of tortured existence at the hands of schoolyard bullies and a cruel father, discovers an amazing talent: He can leave his body. As the boy's life begins to fall apart, he is lured towards the dark side of his new power and the hunger for revenge... This was a great read and Fahy did a fantastic job with it. Do yourself a favor and track it down. A must for horror/thriller fans.

A great horror novel about out-of-body experiences, Jan 8 2001
By David "Laymon Fan" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Nightflyer (Paperback)
A great horror novel about a boy who can separate his spirit from his body. During his out-of-body experiences, he has some of the powers of a ghost. His spirit can fly and pass through solid objects. He is invisible but he can see and hear.The characterizations of the boy, Jonathan Petrie, and his father, Doug, are particularly well done. Jonathan is in conflict with his parents, teachers, and the school bullies. First he uses his ability only as a temporary escape, exhilarated by the sensation of flying. Then he uses it in self-defense, and eventually for revenge against those he feels have hurt him.
The story is fast-paced and engrossing with a large cast of characters.
This novel would probably make a great gift for anyone who was a fan of the young-adult horror novels of R.L. Stine or Christopher Pike but has since outgrown them.

Interesting Story, Oct 28 2011
By Philly Girl "Mrs. C." - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Nightflyer (Paperback)
I enjoyed Nightflyer, but I was so disappointed in the ending. After reading the book you'll understand, it's not what you expect. You'll be sympathetic towards the main character and totally route for him, but as you read on things begin to change and you start wondering what this guy is all about. The writing was well done and you don't want to put it down. I do recommend this read as it is an interesting story.
