Product Description

The nightmare begins before you sleep.... He had fled from the terrors of his past, finding refuge in the quietness of the island. And for a time he lived in peace. Until the 'sightings' began, visions of horror seeping into his mind like poisonous tendrils, violent acts that were hideously macabre, the thoughts becoming intense. He witnessed the grotesque acts of another thing, a thing that glorified in murder and mutilation, a monster that soon became aware of the observer within its own mind. And relished contact. A creature that would eventually come to the island to seek him out.... 'Guaranteed to give you nightmares' Daily Mail Remember with fear...

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of tension, Jun 11 2004

By	David "Laymon Fan" (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews

There are some great tense scenes in this book. But they're mostly near the beginning. I agree with a previous reviewer that the ending is a bit disappointing. Still, this book is well worth reading. His novel "Others" is also good.

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT THE AUTHOR'S BEST WORK..., Jan 2 2004

By	Lawyeraau (Balmoral Castle) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

Having read "The Fog", an absolutely terrific book by this author, I looked forward to reading this one. I am sorry to say that this book does not even begin to compare to "The Fog", a book that is superior in every way to this effort.

The plot is simple. A schoolteacher, Jonathan Childes, has certain psychic abilities over which he has little control. He can apparently meld his mind with that of a sadistic killer. Unfortunately for him, this killer is aware of Childes' mental intrusion and deduces who and where Childes is.

Some tension is created by having Childes become a suspect in a series of murders of which Childes' is aware due to his mind meld with the actual killer. His knowledge is a double edged sword. The killer then decides to bring his handiwork a little too close to home for Childes' tastes, and the plot thickens.

This book is mildly entertaining at best, as the tension does not really hold up. Moreover, the ending is somewhat ridiculous and disappointing, reminiscent of a promise unfulfilled. The author is certainly capable of better. If one is looking for a book of unrelenting horror, then this is not the book for which one is looking. It is more of a murder mystery with supernatural overtones, and a somewhat mediocre one, at that.
