5.0 out of 5 stars The best fiction that I have ever read!, Jun 13 2008
By Daniel W. Kyle (BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Trickster (Paperback)
I bought this in hardcover on spec back in the mid-90's when it was first released. Mostly, the topic of "spooky things in the Canadian wilds" intrigued me, but, in fact, I found the story to be much more than home grown Canadiana. Especially as the author was a wee Scottish lass who had only visited relatives in Alberta a short while before in order to do research. Ms. Gray's next 2 books didn't disappoint either, and when I wrote to her telling her that Trickster was my favorite book of all time, she was kind enough to mail me an autographed copy - which I cherish and will keep forever. Largely unknown on this side of the Atlantic, Muriel Gray is a well-known broadcaster in the UK, and most notably around Scotland where she more recently focuses on environmental causes. Also, very sadly, she has spent her recent life caring for her middle child after an accident left her with a disability. Though fans will no doubt wait forever for another fiction tale, Muriel has released some very informative non-fiction books on outdoors topics, and continues to be heavily involved in public causes in her native land. All the Best, Mu!

4.0 out of 5 stars Deeper Meaning, Jun 4 2002
By cherilyn (Maryland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Trickster (Mass Market Paperback)
Put aside the title, the gore, and feel for the depth and truth.

If you look past your own blindness, you'll see it written there. I did. And came away refreshed, renewed, and perhaps a little more in tune because of the recurring lesson... It's not hidden, but there in black and white, written over and over again. You just need to open your own eyes to see it, feel it, and know it... That awareness that you've just stumbled on something you have known all your life, yet had somehow forgotten or let lay too long. It's worth it.. to know it again.

** A great book for the reader who comprehends the space between the lines **

4.0 out of 5 stars A huge build-up....., April 26 2002
By Thomas C. Nagy "Music Teacher" (Ebensburg, PA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Trickster (Mass Market Paperback)
A terrific novel with a disappointing ending. 420 pages to lay the groundwork to an anti-climatic ending. There is so much redeeming writing here, that I hate to dissuade anyone from reading this tale. This is my first read of work by Muriel Gray. I paln on reading more of Ms. Gray's work, but am not 100% sold yet!

4.0 out of 5 stars Horror in the Canadian Rockies
I don't often read horror novels, but I was attracted to this by the fact it's written by Muriel Gray, a well-known Scottish TV presenter. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Well constructed horror tale with a few flaws
If you like horror stories, you'll like this book. It has enough hideous murders to make Stephen King cringe, and the story pays meticulous attention to the characters and their... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A totally brilliant roller coaster ride
I had never heard of this author before but a friend recommended her and I sure wasn't let down. This is the best, most gripping tale I think I've come across in ages. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Really bad.
The fact that this book is a fast read is about the best thing I can say about it. But just because it's fast, don't think for a minute you're going to get anywhere by the end... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars A really good book. Not H.P. Lovecraft but getting there.
The only similarity to King is that it's printed on paper; everything else is superior to anything he has produced. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly plotted mishmash of Indian lore and gross thrills
Reviews that compared this horrible mess to Stephen King induced me to continue reading long after I wanted to put it aside. I kept hoping it would all come together for me. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Thriller
An excellent example of a true thriller combining mystic Indian vs Christian beliefs. It was hard to put this one down, and is a book I have re-read several times. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars redundant & full of cheap thrills
I started this book with high expectations. It began a little like Stephen King's "The Stand" and I found myself engrossed and enjoying it. Read more
